[Rejected] Changing name on forum

[Polarzz]

So I was thinking if people want to ever change their name on the forums if they don't like what they have right now, and instead of going and bothering a board director I thought of a cool thing that we could do. Everyone that creates a forum account and has their first name and want to change it I think that we should have 1 chance to change it by ourselves without getting a BD involved. If they ever want to change it again then that was their only time that they could change it themselves and the rest of the time they would have to ask a BD to change it for them.

This would be pretty easy to abuse and would probably just create even more problems for higher-ups.

 

Without any control, any forum user would be able to change their name to something that breaks the rules (racism, advertising, links, etc) and just sounds like an overall bad idea.

Though this is an interesting idea I thought about what shoiep said, I think that CAs and above should be able to see there past name since people might abuse it.

we can probably control it by making it so that only regs+ can only change their name and you can only change your name every 6 months

Or just make it like the awards system but instead of requesting a award you can request a name change and a CA or AO can review it and anyone trying to abuse it can be banned.
