So my opinion would be name changes for minor things such as capitalization' date=' spacing, spelling would be fine but major name changes should be restricted to certain times(special ocasions)

Support this =D :D

 

I don't mind name changes that make sense like jspamax to J-Max. Not pointing at Sushi personally but he changes his name A LOT. Also Symbols are just plain retarded.

 

¬.¬ I was a ~Raven~ because there was already a Raven around.:D

Sushi... used to change his name when he found a new anime character he liked but he's stayed like this for a few months now' date=' I think. Progress.;)

1. Do you consider the ability to have your name changed an important part of your forum-going experience? If so, why?

Getting a name change can change your experience; Some people look up to people's names.

 

2. If you were to request that your name be changed, what are some of the reasons you would give that would let us know that you deserved it?

The main reason is the fact that a username shows what your into right now. It's similar to a double-edged sword, people might come and people might leave.

To everyone who says that a username tells people what they like or what they're in to: That only seems to happen here. Everywhere else, people communicate such things through avatars, sigs, user name titles, and other various methods. Why should YCM be any different?

I used to change my name based on what I liked at the time. There were always based on fire (except mon94key, and Gold), but I felt a new username freshened things up a lot more than just a new avatar/sig (though I always had a new avatar/sig when I changed my name too xD). One time I changed my name was through respect for another member (Spirit of Brushfire) too, so that's another reason. In other words, this:

The others I go on aren't of comparable size to YCM. But that shouldn't matter, you could just make it so only a certain amount of members can request name changes before it's locked, and then when those name changes are done it gets re-opened etc.. You could put a 2-3 month rule on this, too.

 

And the mods think that name changes are stupid. We're the ones that have to do it. Your point?

 

You've just become a Super Mod, so please don't speak bs lol. Browarod changed so many names while he was a Super and it was only after it got so ridiculous from a lack of people telling them to stfu and stop saying "When will my name change be done?" that it got shut down.

I've hated name changes ever since I realized it could be done. I've hated them more since I became a mod, being bombarded with multiple PMs a day asking for name changes that I could not give.

 

And, like I said, the other active Supers and Falling Pizza agreed. If you want to continue discussion, PM me.
