lethald Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Is it possible to change my username anywhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddah Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 This option is only available to Admin, contact either myself or LHammonds in a pm and explain why you want to change your name and what you want it changed to and we will consider your request.

AncientSpaceAeon Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 But what's the reasons that allowed if we want to change our username ?Example- To match I've got in the other forums- Wrong typing- Didn't like the name- etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddah Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 We review each on it's own merits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LHammonds Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Just consider a username change as not likely. Chances for a rename will increase if there is something we consider a valid reason.Chances for a rename will increase if there is not a massive request queue for renames.Chances for a rename will increase dramatically if membership is currently in a "Premium" state.etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AncientSpaceAeon Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 And can this reason works (not that I am) ? "I wanna change because my username isn't following the rules (insulting, etc), and I realized it so I want to change my username." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I wanna change because my username isn't following the rules (insulting, etc), and I realized it so I want to change my username."Maybe. If said account has been a contributing member or has something "to lose" if the account is deleted, then we might consider it. I made an exception for an active and contributing member to get his account renamed. He would have been simply banned since it was found that his name was quite rude in Arabic but to most English-speaking people, it was completely unnoticed. I knew the guy and worked with him to get his account renamed. If the account is basically empty, I'd rather opt to simply ban the account to keep it from being used in the future and let the person just create another.

TheCalliton Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 so basically, you gotta earn it? seems like a pretty sound way to judge it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LHammonds Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 so basically, you gotta earn it? seems like a pretty sound way to judge itAt one point in time, Dark0ne accepted all requests for their accounts to be renamed but it got to the point where he could not handle the massive influx of requests so he quit taking requests altogether. As a matter of fact, when Dark0ne asked me to become a moderator, my stipulation was that my ID was changed from "lhammonds" to "LHammonds"...mainly because so many people though the first letter was an i and my prior request for a rename was denied. ;) You can still see some of my older uploads with the lowercase ID. If any of you have seen the "Fenius and Ferb" cartoons, the above is referred to as a "Backstory" and my next mod project name will end with "-inator" and maybe include "3000" as part of the name for those that have seen "Wow Wow Wubzy" cartoons.
