RE: Allow users to change username on forums

I agree with what Draxx and Kirby said. In any case, make it a "one time only" thing. Anything else would only create unnecessary confusions.

Incorrect, the plugin has never actually existed on SmG.

There's actually multiple ways to track users who have changed their username, it's a lot less confusion than everyone thinks:
  • Username Change History List
  • By adding them to your buddy list
  • Their UID stays the same, so finding them would be easy

Edit: This way, there's actually a paper trial if you want to find someone. Atm admins change a username and there's no username history.

RE: Allow users to change username on forums

I don't think everyone should be given that coz that will create mess and everday names will be changing.. will create a problem. Well you can give to mod and supports that permission .

RE: Allow users to change username on forums

If you give the permissions for Senior Members and higher to change their usernames then it could be looked at as a perk for either becoming staff or sticking around long enough.
This would also eliminate newer members from constantly changing their name because they can.
Don't piss off old people.
The older we get the less "life in prison" is a deterrent.

Aside from it being a perk for Snr Members +, each user will have a certain limit per month as to how many times they can change their username.

Changing you own username would be a pretty good idea!I think we should make it happen.

RE: Allow users to change username on forums

It is too much work really to know who is who and giving everyone a name change wouldnt be that bad or good in limited quantities like 1 name change or something after that they should ask someone above to change it or like 1 name change in a month or something that would still work.
Just make those name changes limited so they cant change names every minute or hour just make once only or something like one a month or something of that sort  HomraStaff
