Hey @Steezy Bow ,

As of January 10, 2016, minor & major name changes are honored as described below.

Note: All users who request a name change will be given a User Title to reflect back to their previous name for six months unless only a capitalization or de-capitalization occurs. Requesting UT changes before the expired time will result in an infraction for wasting Admin time required to process these UT requests.

Those eligible for a minor name change request are those who:

Have donated a minimum of $5.

Have a join date which dates to at least a year prior to their name change request.

Have 2FA enabled at the time of their request and pass an IP check (To enable 2FA visit https://www.sythe.org/account/two-step and for a guide see: here).

Have not previously changed their name via the minor name change system.

Note: Users with DNTs are still eligible for minor changes, but the changes are heavily scrutinized and may be denied.

Those eligible for a major name change request are those who:

Have donated a minimum of $200.

Have a join date which dates to at least a year prior to their name change request (OR are a $300 donor, which are eligible for a name change after 6 months).

Have 2FA enabled at the time of their request and pass an IP check (To enable 2FA visit https://www.sythe.org/account/two-step and for a guide see: here).

Have not previously changed their name via the major name change system.

Must have not been banned or had a DNT for more than 2 weeks nor received a pardon within the last 3 months.

A second major name change can be approved if you have had your name for at least a year and you are a $500 donor.

NOTE: One character name requests are not honored and in rare cases we can deny a request without reasoning.

Username change requests we currently honor:

Please bear in mind your desired name must be available/not taken, or it belongs to a user who has been inactive for at least 3 years.

Removal of numbers in a name (Example: Name1224 to Name)

Replacement of a number in a name (Example: N4m3 to Name)

Removal of characters such as underscores or hyphens (Example: User_Name to User Name or UserName)

Capitalization or de-capitalization of a name (Example: name to Name or Name to name)

Removal of special characters in rare cases where the user profile glitches

Removal of random letters that do not add to a username (Example: UserNameAsdf to UserName, NOT UserNameGaming to UserName)

Minor corrections of spelling

Major name change

Process of requesting a name change:

Fill out a Name Change Request Form.

An Administrator will review your request:

If you fall under honorable name change request number 1, 2, 3 or 4, your request will usually be honored.

If you fall under honorable name change request number 5, 6, 7, or 8, your request will be reviewed more in-depth.

If your name is changed, your User Title will be edited to reflect your previous name for 6 months unless only a capitalization or de-capitalization occurs.

All name changes will be listed in the List of Username Changes thread unless only a capitalization or de-capitalization occurs.

If your name is not changed, you will be notified as to why and given another opportunity to apply depending on the reasoning.

Name Change Request Form:
Code:
Current username:
Desired username:
Have you had a name change before?:
Have you recently had a DNT/ban/pardon?:
Honorable request number (1-8):
Have you read and do you meet the username change request requirements?:
A note on banned names: If an account is banned for black hat, scamming, evading (a scamming ban), or anything malicious, we can't use the name due to its usefulness for future proof.
