ATTENTION - REGARDING NAME CHANGES, New Policy Introduced

If we were to do this, but it couldn't be found, RII could use this code or nicknames.

ok you need to understand mfgg + automatic name change = huge problem.

Trust me it's not a technical barrier that's stopped us.

It's just a bad idea.

If I ask to get my name changed to RetroX for the eight bazillionth time will I get listened to?

If you PM it to an admin.

and this is why this name change rule sucks

just because you don't have to deal with it amirite

what do you mean

I was rooting for member self name changes, that way the admins wouldn't have to do A PART OF THEIR JOBS, AAAAAAANND people could changes their names to wacky things and have fun.

Perfect solution, etc.

if you define mass confusion as fun

of course there would have to be no limit to how often you could change your name if you wanted to "eliminate" said confusion, and you'd be forced into trusting each and every member that they will use it responsibly, which some people definitely will not

someone signed up an account using megatailzchao's name for pete's sake

Yes, it's absolutely perfect to not know who anybody is. Great idea, Slam! She bangs!



No. Never allow the members to change their own aesthetics, past their signature

Uh, If we have a badge mod, Why not a name mod?

because with this new rule it's not necessary anymore.

What about a system where you can change your own name but instead of automatically changing it, it sends it to some kind of "Name Control Panel" where a "Name Moderator" can approve/disapprove name changes. Oh and a 90 day limit could be implemented too.

Or is that too hard to do? =p

I already realized it.

The new policy is great. What's done is done. Let's all leave it at that.

That would require the member having access to the Admin CP, which, obviously, is a no-no.

I've PMed admins 10 times and I don't even get a reply.

Which admins, though?


Because I haven't received a single PM from you.

I would want to change my name to something more original, but FanGuy has become my identity here. It wouldn't be right!

I'm not exactly sure to react to this.

Namely because it does nothing to me at all...







...namely because I don't want to remember another name. :P

Same here. The only reason I picked PsiGuy was because I need something.

But if I change it, and I don't like the change..

Why not just filter your name to whatever and see how you like being reffered by your possible name?
