    No. You are allowed to make another account and request this one to be banned, however.

    Why not?
    I know this can easily be done, so why couldn't it be a donator benefit or something similar?

    Because someone could scam and then change their name so if the person they scammed and came looking for them, they probably wouldn't be able to find the person. Plus it would cause confusion. I know people who are promoted to staff are allowed a name change if their name is 'untidy' or looks immature.

    Because the mods are busy keeping this site up and running and would not have the time to change every single person who wants a name change there are alot of people who want it to be a donator benefit but it probably wont happen anytime soon. there would just be way to many people wanting a name change everyday and it would just be to much of a hassle you can get a self requested ban on this account and just create a new one and make sure they do not interact with each other.

    The only time names changes are permitted are when a member is promoted to staff and their name looks unprofessional.

    For example, say someone name was XiXFerthXiX, they would probably have their named to Ferth. I think this is similar to Rohail's case, not entirely sure if his name was changed though. I believe he had a name like X0 Rohail X and it was changed to just Rohail for professionalism.

    What if it would cost you to change your name, instead of it being a donator perk?
    Easy money, eh?

    Doubt that will happen. And like it has already been stated, Name changes are only available when you are promoted to Staff and your name is unprofessional.

    This has been suggested before, but Sythe himself has declined it because he does not want people "running away" from things that are linked to their previous display name, such as a scam that they have covered up.

    It's not currently allowed, and is unlikely to be allowed in the future.
