riahc3 Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+M2Ys4U Subscriber¹ Posted July 3, 2006 Subscriber¹ Share Posted July 3, 2006 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. 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. So wait; If you HAD a warning, you cant change your name?If so, another stupid Neowin rule :rolleyes: 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.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PL_ Veteran Posted July 17, 2006 Veteran Share Posted July 17, 2006 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LightIdea Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kombolcha Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 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.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigapixels Veteran Posted April 29, 2007 Veteran Share Posted April 29, 2007 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...
