LOL, Well that would only be necessary to know who is who if trouble starts which we all know is not a common occurence here. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Change your name if you must, but don't impersonate others - ESPECIALLY mods or admins.

Well, could this feature be changed in a way that only moderators are able to change names, and that people are only able to request one change?
...On the other hand, that will give the mods a lot of extra work... Nope, I think disabling the entire feature is perhaps the best thing to do...

I agree. It could be too easy for someone who used to be in Clan HADB (May their laundry always smell fresh) to leave the clan without saying goodbye.

Other than clan business, I think that it would be very confusing for anyone and everyone to have the ability to change their names at will. I will stick with what I have until I am banned.

so mote it be

Let's give everyone the benefit of the doubt. Regular members will realize that it's in their best interest to keep their name as it's the only way others will recognize them. If they DO change, I'm sure they will let us know. Besides, most people have equity in their name once they've had it for a while, especially if they use the same name on different boards. I use Memnoch on all the boards I visit, so people always know it's me. I know Groljach and Vaskez do the same. Find a cool name and stick to it would be my advice.

We'll trust these guys to do the right thing, as we always do, and only do something if they break that trust. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Hmm. I like the idea of having a shortlist of "Ironworks Infidels"!

No worries, just having a bit of fun!

ROFL! "Ironworks Infidels"
I know you are just having fun, it shows and it is cracking me up.

Hiram,
Keeping the name you have until you get banned!
Funny!

Is there any way this could be made a 'permission only' function? Like it is switched off normally, but if you ask a Mod you can change it - at the Mod's discretion? Or would this be too complicated to do individually?

Sigmar · 11-03-2001, 12:06 PM

Cypher or Sigmar?

Neb · 11-03-2001, 12:06 PM

Maybe I can use numerology to find out who the potential troublemakers are. If the sum of your numbers end in an odd number...beware!!
