Name Change

[runelive123]

Hey guys, was just wondering how I would go about getting a name change. I made this silly ass generic name real quick a couple months ago because I just needed to buy some real quick 07. I since have gained close to 30 vouches because I have found this to be an awesome forums with a really active market, that I'd like to continue to use. I will keep using this forums either way, I was just wondering how I could go about getting a name change if I'm even eligible for one. Do I need to donate before I can ask? Is it time based? Please help.

@runelive123 since you're not a donor you won't be able to read that thread, I've copied the requirements and process below

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 http://www.sythe.org/twofactor.php and for a guide see: here.)
• Have not previously changed their name via the minor name change system
• Must not have been pardoned within 6 months of requesting the name change.

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 two years prior to their name change request.
• Have 2FA enabled at the time of their request and pass an IP check (To enable 2FA visit http://www.sythe.org/twofactor.php and for a guide see: here.)
• Have not previously changed their name via the name change system
• Must pass a staff lounge poll
• Must not have been pardoned within 6 months of requesting the name change.
• Will be given a User Title linking back to your old name for anywhere between 6-12 months.

NOTE: We can in rare cases deny a request without reasoning.

Username change requests we currently discuss/vote on:

Please bear in mind your desired name must be available/not taken.

1. Removal of numbers in a name where the alternative is available (Example: Name1224 to Name)
2. Replacement of a number in a name (Example: N4m3 to Name)
3. Removal of characters such as underscores or hyphens where the alternative is available (Example: User_Name to User Name or UserName)
4. Capitalisaton or de-capitalisation of name (Example: name to Name or Name to name)
5. Removal of special characters in rare cases where the user profile glitches
6. Removal of random letters that do not add to the username
7. Minor corrections of spelling
8. Major name change

How to apply for a username change:

• You fill out a Name Change Request Form below.
• An Administrator reviews your request and if it fulfils requirements:
  • If you fall under honourable name change request number 1, 2, 3 or 4 above, your request will usually be honoured.
  • If you fall under honourable name change request number 5, 6, 7, or 8 your request will be reviewed by staff and need a majority approval. This will take a week.
• If your name is changed, your UserTitle will be edited to reflect your previous name for 6 months unless only capitalisation or de-capitalisation occurs - you will not be able to change it yourself in this time.
• If your name is not changed, you will be notified as to why and given another opportunity to apply depending on the reasoning.
• Your name change will forever be listed in the http://www.sythe.org/community-general/1882267-list-username-changes.html thread unless only capitalisation or de-capitalisation occurs.
• You can contact an Administrator in 6 months to request your UserTitle be removed and UserTitle request perk be enabled for you again if applicable.
