Dweller of Parables Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 tl;drWhy are we complaining if people like us don't wish to change names? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brushfire Posted December 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Because some people do like to change their names based on what reflects our personality is the time. Eh, it doesn't really matter but so many other sites with as much/more activity to YCM are perfectly capable of doing it so I don't see why YCM should be any different.

Guest Chaos Pudding Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 This is stupid imo. Do you want us to make it so no one can change their name ever? Because we can do that. FP' date=' Crab, and I all agree that name changes are horrible, and should ideally be gotten rid of. But, we're being reasonable. So 1 name change, with the possibility to get another one by winning contests or something. At least, until we implement MyBB Plaza...[hr']Because some people do like to change their names based on what reflects our personality is the time.

Your avatar/siggy/user title is enough to express yourself. And I would love for you to point out a forum of comparable size that allows members to ask Supers to change their name on a regular basis.

Brushfire Posted December 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Name changes aren't difficult to do. It remains stupid.

I got like 150+ Supporters for that but FP says that they aren't interested in changing it as they like their current simplicity of the Points system.

An avatar and signature is different to when you're username expresses something different. For me, as I consider my username unique it doesn't matter that much. But I've changed my name a lot in the past (mon94key, Faint Brushfire, Spirit of Brushfire, Faint Brushfire, Pyro Knight, .brushfire, Flame, Gold, Brushfire) as it freshens things up a bit. I have no idea how to explain that, it just does. >_> As for "like every other forum on the internet"... I go to 5 other forums than YCM, and have been on even more. Every single one of them allows name changes. -.-' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eury Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Just a question' date=' EVERYONE gets 1 more name change, right?[/quote'] Yes. Alright, then I'm fine with the new policy. I'm content with this name and if I get bored with it, I already know what I'll have it changed to. And I like that name a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what is YCM basing their opinion on, how is it good if that don't have another basis forum to compare to? The matter in hand is that in YCM, people ask for name changes too much. They make stupid decisions for names, like some bloody character/symbol, and once they find it that it's not good for them anymore, they want to change it. As I said before, this new policy actually makes people think what they want their YCM name to be changed into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 I agree with the TC that this is a stupid rule. <_< At least I got my name changed beforehand. And no way in freaking hell am I giving this up. Maybe getting a name change every month is stupid and unreasonable, but one in the entire one to two year period you are on YCM? 2 or 3 sounds more reasonable. <_< But quick question, let's say I get my name changed to Light, and a week later I want a revert? Is that possible, or do reverts count as another name change, therefore leaving me stuck with "Light"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it in the rules somewhere that each and every member has the right to have their name changed? Reverts count. Don't change your name unless you're absolutely sure you want it.
