I think that we should remove the change name item from the store and just require members to PM an admin who will change their name free of charge. All name changes will then be logged into monthly topics posted... somewhere.

Limits...
* No more than 2 name changes per 3 months.
* No fad renames.
* Normal rules that apply to names (ie, MerrellSucks not allowed).

Any thoughts on this?

It's good. Add it to the Registration page, too. Really bold letters or something.

Bolder than the n in MillenniumArmy's name.

And what's wrong with fad renames? The Moose_ / _Moose week was the best week of my life. Also, start the captain fad! Vive le revolution! ...

I think this is a good idea. Some people who really want to change their names but don't have enough minerals might sometimes spam to get the required minerals which will obviously cause spam so this way it might reduce it.

Agreed with the proposal. I see no disadvantages to this other than spamming PM's with dumb request. (Good thing it's not going to be my PM's tongue.gif )

Good. A lot of the name changing trend are annoying.

The idea sounds good here. Some moderation to name changing will reduce the fads ( which confuse me, because it usualy takes me a while to re-figure out who's who ) .

I always wondered why we stopped doing that.

Where's the list of name changes?

I was always an advocate of keeping a list of changes so I actually know who is who.

I think he used to be 5-5 or 4-4 or something...

No, but a lot of people created a bandwagon to change their names like that and spam in the style of 7-7.

7-7 was always 7-7 in some form or other. When he was going on his posting/spamming craze I think, around 50+ posts a day people started to copy his name and avatar.
