Name changes: You can change your display name

[riahc3]

So what happens to Radish?

Like all members, his name should also become "Radish". I have nothing against Radish (he's one of the few good mods around here) but he is a member and all members must obey the rules.

We do not allow members who have had warns to change their name.

So wait; If you HAD a warning, you cant change your name?

If so, another stupid Neowin rule :rolleyes:

There's a grandfather rule in effect... if you had the name before the rule was decided upon (and you haven't changed since) you get to keep it.

IIRC, once the warn goes down to 0% with the auto reduction system, I think you're allowed to change again, but IANAM.

I've got a warn and I want to change my name... I just accept that I can't because whining isn't going to do a damn thing about it except put you in a bad mood with the mods.

By your logic, all blacks would still be slaves. Hell your scared of "whining", so I guess Martin Luther King and all those other people that have stood up for human rights shouldnt have whined

When something is wrong, its plain wrong. And letting yourself be controled by a rule that says if you have been warned once (20% I believe it is) and it gets removed and you still can't change your name, that basically makes this site very unlogic.

Altho the admins can do whatever the **** they want, some rules just aint right.

Woah, woah woah woah woah.

Comparing getting a warning to slavery? Erm, yes, of course.

I'm not even going to try and have a mature discussion if you're going to be throwing that one around.

Its not the comparing the "happenings" its comparing the "idea" behind it...

Keldyn? Did I hear Keldyn? Where is my biatch anyway? I'm missing him!

Can I also request that names with "[" and "]" be at least not recommend simply because they screw up the quotation system on the boards?

[NFC]Wave, anyone?

If you have 0%, you can change your name. End of story.

Does this means that if I never had my warning, I can be k?ome?

No because the "?" is a restricted character.

[Hilhi spartans 2004-2008]

hey this is my second post. I was wondering if my display name would be ok. it takes about 2 lines worth. if its not ok, I'm welcome to make a change and mod. it. I just don't want a warn or ban..

thanks :)

[Cody]

is ? a restricted char too?

[bfoos]

To all changing their display names... do not include special characters such as TM's, ?'s , other characters not found on a standard keyboard, etc...

is ? a restricted char too?

I'm guessing yes:yes:es:

[jokeripa]

Omfg.... I cant change my username till I'm ATLEAST 19.... I'm 16 now....

[blush]

Hmm, I'm guessing "!" is considered a restricted character like ? too. Tried it, and it turned to "33" instead.:blush:h:

Hi guys/gals,

I didn't want to create a new thread for this but;

I have changed my display name, but would it be possible for an admin/mod to change my login name for me.

Cheers!

[kombolcha]

yea, that's what i wanted to know ^

i still have to log in with my previous sn.. i thought it would change with the new name..

[Joel]

A display name is meant to be an easy way to change your online name without messing around with your login name. It's also more secure, since you're posting with A and logging in with B.

[gigapixels Veteran]

I also had a question but didn't want to create a new thread...

Now that the [ and ] character quote bug has been fixed, is there any way to allow for these in display names again? It's not that big of a deal, but I kind of wanted a display name using those...

I thought Subscribers can make 3 changes in a 90 day period? I can only make 2? :dontgetit:

In those cases, they chose their name before the rule was made.
