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.

Must of not been banned or had a DNT for more than 2 weeks nor received a pardon within the last 3 months.

NOTE: One character name requests are not allowed and 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.

Removal of numbers in a name where the alternative is available (Example: Name1224 to Name)

Replacement of a number in a name (Example: N4m3 to Name)

Removal of characters such as underscores or hyphens where the alternative is available (Example: User_Name to User Name or UserName)

Capitalization or de-capitalization of name (Example: name to Name or Name to name)

Removal of special characters in rare cases where the user profile glitches

Removal of random letters that do not add to the username

Minor corrections of spelling

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 fulfills requirements:

If you fall under honorable name change request number 1, 2, 3 or 4 above, your request will usually be honored.

If you fall under honorable name change request number 5, 6, 7, or 8 your request will be reviewed by an Administrator.

If your name is changed, your User Title will be edited to reflect your previous name for 6 months unless only capitalization or de-capitalization 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 List of Username Changes thread unless only capitalization or de-capitalization occurs.

You can contact an Administrator in 6 months to request your User Title be removed and User Title request perk be enabled for you again if applicable.

Username change application:
Code:
Current username:
Desired username:
Have you had a name change before?
Have you recently had a DNT/ban/pardon?
Honorable 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 spam bot 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.

Since no one has gone over this route for you,

you are allowed to create a new account and use it instead, as long as they don't interact,
so you can just ditch that account and make a new one,
but you won't be able to make it on same ip so post here:

Answer 2 could use bit of appovement to be more offical but that not my job.

With this being said I decided to show 5 examples of this questions being asked within past 2 weeks
Why is this my username?
Name changing
Can you change your username on here ?
Name Change Question
Username change

Despite there being a thread that faq's I feel as if this question just need's it own sticky, it's getting a bit ridilous how many people are asking it.[/quote]

Katana · Feb 4, 2018

Support. Seems like the question is being asked too often however they might ignore the sticky as well, seeing that they ignore the previous threads pertaining to name change.

Wortel · Feb 4, 2018

Approved, created a new sticky here: How to change your name?
Will probably change it some more later on because ofcourse we can't make a sticky for each and every question.
