    I'm really just trying to find out if you can request a name change on Sythe?
    if you can't, maybe?

    No one, even administrators are allowed. This rule is to save the staff a lot of hassle while enforcing this rule on everyone creates fairness.

    Admins have the option off changing it but...Like i think the only way matthew would even consider it is if you donate 300+ dollars.

    Name changes are not allowed. There are too many problems that come along with a name change. If you want a new name, quit your current account and make a new one.

    Everyone would then change names, and cause much trouble. Plus if everyone can do this, scammers would get away with this.

    I've seen people get to change their names if they become staff. It'd be hard to achieve this, though. Am I right, btw?

    That would be stupid, as people would just use this to scam, then change there name, simple.

    Name changes equal: Confusion, impersonation, evading mods, etc. It's just a huge hassle which is not worth the trouble. Besides, you should pick a name you want when you register, then you don't have to worry about name changes.
