Bring down the requirement to name change

Currently only the elite can get name change I would like to see this changed

Here is the current:

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

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

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
• Will be given a User Title linking back to your old name for anywhere between 6-12 months.

Currently, I feel as if the minor name change has a massive jump from to the major and I would like to see it brought down to the following

• Have not previously changed their name in past 3 years via the major name change system
• Will be given a User Title linking back to your old name for anywhere between 6-12 months.

No just incase you can't see what I would like to be changed here it is
Have donated a minimum of $200 to Have donated a minimum of $100

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 not previously changed their name via the major name change system

These are quite minor changes that I feel as if will close the grab and allow more people to be able to change and some what make name changing more afford able to more of the community.

I feel as if this would be better overall.

It is $200 donation requirement for a reason. That would be VERY unfair to the one's whom have donated $200+ to lower the requirement. The rest I do not see a problem with. I just do not support changing the $ requirement as that is an extra perk for $200+ Donators.

Also lowering to $100 was already denied here.

 

I support this. In fact you not only have my vote but you have @Buyacc's vote. He mentioned this quite some time ago but the Sythe mods denied it due to Tyler being in the staff team. Its only the salty kids who have already donated $200 that are going to be annoyed by this but I think $100 donator is MORE THAN ENOUGH to be able to have a major name change.

Yea the main reason my thread got closed was because Tyler didnt like me. Even if the suggestion I made was just to benefit myself (which it wasnt), there is no reason to close it without hearing the community's opinion. The entire idea behind the suggestion forum is to suggest something... which the community can then reply to and say whether they like it or not. Only after the community their input the moderators make a decision.

I still stand behind my earlier thread, I support ABM's suggestion too.

Support. I think $200 is a bit high for a change. Doesn't benefit me to say this because I'm $50 donator and would say the same if I was $200.

I think the year requirement weeds out almost all of the people that would name-change for bad reasons and the big time vaders always donate $300+ anyway. I think $100 donator should at least allow you one major name change and if you ever want another make the req $200.

Definitely support.

This forum exists to make money for Richard. Taking down the requirement to 100$ will take money out of Richard's pocket and therefore this won't be approved.

 

No support, simply because a name change is a big thing and they weren't even being offered before that thread was made.
The $200 donor requirement is more like a perk for those with $200 donor rather than a requirement for everyone.

As @Chloe already stated, the name change requirements are reserved as perks for users that have donated rather than requirements for those who have not.

Smaller name changes are reserved for lower level donors, but major changes are meant to be an incentive for donators and to bring more perks to higher donation levels.

We're not going to remove incentives from higher level donation tiers and re-allocate them to lower tiers. If you would like access to higher donator perks, donate more.
