Hey,

I have recently bought a name off Sythe, it isnt offensive or anything...

27 Days ago i changed the name from the name i wanted transferring.
Today is the day i could change it again, i changed it and expected the name i wanted to instantly be publicly available. However, it isnt.

When i try to add the username on my friends list it 'doesnt exist' so no-one has taken it.

And the name still isnt available.

Is there a time delay in when it could possibly become available? Like up to 24hours?

My friend said that it could possibly have been banned by Jagex because they know if it being traded? Is this possible?

What has happened?!
 
It may have been sniped (most likely) or may have been removed by Jagex due to frequent selling/trading (i.e. all the 1 digit/letter names will be automatically removed if transferred to other accs).
 
They become instantly available. My friend had the RSN Jasmine sniped from her but for about an hour after, we were unable to add the name (just like your currently situation).
 
no what ive heard it takes 30 days for it to transferr
 
Jagex filters certain words. A few examples include names starting with 'Dep', 'Mod', or ending in 'lude.' If you bought a name that was added to the filter and changed it (there are many display names that start with Dep currently taken, but when changed will be unavailable due to the filter), then the name would be unavailable because it is filtered and unusable as a display name.

Alternatively, if the name is frequently traded, was changed multiple times recently, or a high profile name that Jagex knows was RWTed (this is the case for all one character display names) it's possible Jagex has filtered the name permanently (this has been done with Great, Good, Blue - for a short time, Golden, and many one character names).

If you PM me the name I might be able to give you more information as to whether the name was automatically filtered by their system. If it doesn't fall into an auto-filter category it was most likely deleted.

P.S. Often times JMods will give names to their close friends or intervene on a specific name transfer. It's entirely possible that a JMod has made the display name temporarily unavailable so that it may be given to a friend at a later time - Star is a prime example as well as Red/April/Aim/Across.

But how would they know its RWT?

I wouldnt say its an obvious name that would be caught in any filter.

And the username was idle for 6 months before i transferred it so it hasnt been traded alot?

They wouldn't know it's RWT unless the account has had multiple IP addresses (a dead giveaway the account was shared which is against Jagex rules). If the name was high profile enough, or a JMod's friend really wanted it and it had multiple IPs, I'm sure the JMod could take action.

I can't really tell you whether it'd be caught in the filter unless you PM me the name. I used to have a list of filtered words, there were a lot. Any word containing 'pass' is another I remember off the top of my head - words with 'fic' in them or beginning with 'ira'.

If it wasn't changed frequently then there's no reason to think that's why it caught the attention of whoever has deleted it - more likely the name was good enough that a JMod got involved specifically to give it to a friend.

Or it could just be deleted for suspicious activity (multiple IPs).

So theoretically if i suck up to a JMod he could unban it for me?
 
half the time it is not even for RWT. They will just lock names if they feel like it. If its rare, then that is probably what happened
