Alright Guys, i know im not alone on this issue, but some people have been changing their names quite a bit.
While the forum does not have regulations regarding how often you are allowed to change your visible name, I am finding it quite confusing when people are changing their name once a week.
SO,
It would be nice that if you do decide to change your name, if you could post what your old name was and what you are changing it too In this topic.
Thanks a bunch, ~Nate

How about we make a rule where you can only change your name once every two weeks?

Did you ask him why not? It sounds like a pretty good idea to me.
BZP only lets you change it once every 2 months.

He said that if we put such regulations on it we might get more complaints about the rule than having to enforce it.
he's basically trying to solve the problem without making anyone on the forum mad.
Personally i would have put some sort of regulation on it, but What Immy Says goes.

Personally i would have put some sort of regulation on it, but What Immy Says goes. Well, right now Im more so opposed to the idea, but: I think I can be convinced to let Nate's original idea become a rule. Right now it seems like going too far and over-regulating to make a rule limiting that. If we did however, there doesnt seem to be a function built in to manage the rule, so it would be more like a request anyway. In that case we're probably better off asking members to limit changing thier name so often, and request they let staff know about it to prevent confusion of who is who. If I can find a simple way thats built in to the forums to facilitate that, and you guys approve the idea rather than decline it as an unnecessary regulation, then Ill be more approving of the idea.

Well i think we could make the rule pretty loose, like only change your name once a month or once every two to three weeks, which is fairly often.

Can we make a rule that Angel can't change his name and/or just gets banned?
He seems to be the most skilled troll here.

Now now don't make such blunt accusations.
But i kinda agree that angel has changed his name(and his posting Style) Way too much in the past month or so. It was partially why i suggested this to him, mainly cause everyone else was complaining about it. Also, The complaints you all used to have about Trailbreaker and his name changes spurred this idea.

He said somewhere else that he was changing his identity to Avak. He just didn't post it in here.

It's too late he's already offended.
And how about we make a rule that you can't post in this thread unless you are changing your name?
