Name change

[Henchygold]

So hey,
I've decided to start a skilling/questing/minigames/private server gold shop and for that i wanted to make a new account because i didn't like this name but i couldn't create a second one because it said that i already have one (linked to this one) so i was wondering if its possible to change my name or make a new account if this one gets deleted orsomething
thank you for reading and coming this far

Kind regards,
Henchy

• 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.

Username change application:

Desired username:
Honourable request number (1-8):
Have you read and do you meet, the username change request requirements?:

A note on banned names:

• Well, unfortunately as per Richard's ruling, if an account is banned for blackhat, scamming, vading (a scamming ban), or anything like that - we can't use the name cause it's needed for future proof. If it was a spambot or some ban that isn't related to scamming or the other things mentioned above, then the name is up for grabs.
  
  If your name change is affected by this you are welcome to apply for another change of sorts. Maybe in the future this can be overturned but as of now this is the case.
