Suggestion for Sythe Name Changing! READ!

[Matt Hasty]

Daily BUMP
could Sythe or another Admin please take time to respond to this.

Maybe only mods can get name change or people with over 1k posts.

If name changes ever do be come a mainstream option for sythe users, there would definitely need to be strict conditions one would have to meet in order to qualify, like Spyike has pointed out. You don't want hundreds of members running around changing names, it would make things way too complicated to keep track of who has done what, etc.

Example. A member sells an account to another member. Six months later that account gets recovered and the buyer comes looking for the member on Sythe, only to find the member they remember no longer exists.

Would be a difficult thing to keep track of if the option became available to the mainstream.

Support, but with some sort of restrictions.

But 100s of people getting name changes would mean 1000s of dollars for the site, which would be a good thing.

Hopefully this one will change overtime, but with great change comes great sacrifice.

Oh come on.

 

I regret using the name Shoopadoop, it sounds very childish if I could changebi would be willing to pay at least $50 for it.

I say no.

If people want their name change, and they donate for it, good for them.
But there's a lot of people on sythe, and if everyone does it. There won't be enough names for sythe to have, and it'll be overcrowded.

No support, sorry.

 

[MmorpgBuyer]

I completely agree with this.

I personally think that donors already have enough perks, and don't need another one added.

I think that if people want slight name changes, then it could be changed for a fee, which will go to Sythe to keep the forum running.

I thought we were only allowed to request aesthetic changes (feren silver versus Feren Silver).

Anyway, I don't support a name change system. Organized chaos, without the organization of course.

It would be nice to cut a few numbers off a name as long as it isn't taken.. *cough*

Isn't the fee a donation of $200?

I don't believe so. Verts told me I couldn't have the first letters "b" and "f" couldn't be capitalized unless I was staff regardless of the amount I donated.

 

[WeRnIE]

Cosmetic changes should be allowed, like, to remove the numbers, capitalize the letters. For the big donators or the old users although.

 

[Pureown]

this is not going to get approved.

i have many sereral threads in the passed trying to get myself a name change and other but they refuse to change that rule.

the name change i requested was just to remove my numbers, and i even made the account 'pureown' to show that is want taken, but it was still turned down.

only mods are allowed to have slight name changes (symbols, numbers, single letters) to show professionalism

 

[Niini]

I don't believe so. Verts told me I couldn't have the first letters "b" and "f" couldn't be capitalized unless I was staff regardless of the amount I donated.

That kind of stuff is just petty imo, can the usernames Buba Fuzz and buba fuzz exist at the same time?

There are a few items on the DNS list that should eventually become open for reconsideration. As for Name Changes, perhaps the time is now? I think we all understand us along with members of the community may have selected names without much thought and/or perhaps when they were younger. If ever Name Changes are to be considered, I would recommend the following be considered as basic guidelines/rules:

1. Member will have a minimum of 1-year with Sythe.
2. Member will only be allowed one Name Change in the life of his/her membership.
3. Member must be a $50+ donor.
4. Member will not have/had any past major rule violations and/or a TWC within a period of 1-year.
5. Member will be required to place previous name in his/her signature formatted per Sythe requirements. This previous name will be displayed for 1-year.

Considering suggestions that maintain productive/positive community membership is a step in recognizing that our members and Sythe are all getting older.. Support.

That seems like a fine list.

not sure about having to have it in your sig for a whole year? Maybe on your Profile Page for however long you'd like, as for having it anywhere else i dont think it should be as long as a year.
