Username Changing?

[Fuzion]

Would it be possible for users to perhaps change their usernames? or they could even pay in reputation points to do it.

I think this software does allow people to have their usernames altered, but there would have to be good reasons I imagine - I get confused easily enough as it is without everyone swapping names!!

I was on a board where people could change their usernames after they made a certain number of posts (I think it was over 100). The constant username changes (as well as the sig and avatar changes) get very confusing. It's like a different board whenever you log in. I feel boards need continuity with details. :2 cents:

 

[member11579]

Yeah, maybe if someone REALLY detests their name they could opt to change it ONCE at say 1000 posts or something, and for a month or two it displays their old name below it.

Hey, choose a name, stick with it - we're not porn actors. lol

 

[foxycougar]

Lol, right, jod. It is possible to change the user names with this software but I don't think it's a good idea...

A mod asking a question, that's a first !

If it's something someone wants really really really bad, he/she can PM me and I will think it over. But it's not something we do normally!

What about people who misbehave - can we nominate them for a name change?

Don't think anyone should change their username - far too confusing. Also pretty pointless, unless you've given yourself a name you really detest.

Confusing enough with some people having multiple accounts anyway, if we all started changing our usernames it'd be a nightmare.

Unless you're a newbie, and you've made a horrible mistake with your name, stick with the username you chose.

Can only think of one valid reason to change a username, and that's if that user is suffering undue/unwarranted harassment from other members.
That said, if people feel that strongly they'll just set up another account anyway.

Yea, now that ive thought this out, is kind of a bad idea, hehe.
But worth the discussion.

i really hate my username and i like to change it

 

[pussypoppa]

If you really hate it...why did you think of it in the first place?...besides i think all the best usernames have already been taken

 

[mythex]

why change? I'm happy the way my username am..

change your sig or ava everytime you log in might be forgiven but user name.....

 

[SeraphiM]

If you're serious about a name change PM a Super-Mod with a good reason why,

but be fore warned...

It is not something we allow to occurr often.

 

[dave_rhino]

Maybe i need a change, people actually believe i'm a Rhinoceros

It hurts my feelings.

Hi,
Just wondering, is there a way to change your username? I have not found a way.
Please let me know,
Thanks

Re: username

No you can't. You can ask a Super Mod, but unless you've got some valid reason other than you just want a new name, it won't happen.
