Glowstick Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 I guess no name changes for me, with my warnings taking half the database space. Interestingly enough, I've only discovered that function today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6785077276 Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Sorry, I know this is an old topic but it would be better to reply here than creating a new topic. I'm trying to change my display name in my control panel but I get an error: Sorry, an error occurred.

Calum Veteran Posted October 30, 2008 Veteran Share Posted October 30, 2008 Also Warned members who changed their names will have their names reverted back to their original. We do not allow members who have had warns to change their name. If you continue to change the names after being told not to or have had one reversed, then you will be warned or restrcited. So you're basically saying I have to wait 4 or 5 months, or so, before I can change my display name?! :o My warning wasn't even deserved, but I won't go into that right now; it's just very annoying that I cannot change my display name & that is the only restriction given to warned members (especially when a warning isn't deserved).

Brian M. Veteran Posted November 1, 2008 Veteran Share Posted November 1, 2008 Take it up with the original warn-er or a supervisor then. Yep, if you feel that any warning/moderation was unfair, you can always contact/discuss it with the member of staff who issued it, or contact a supervisor.

Calum Veteran Posted November 2, 2008 Veteran Share Posted November 2, 2008 Yep, if you feel that any warning/moderation was unfair, you can always contact/discuss it with the member of staff who issued it, or contact a supervisor. Oh right. Thank you both :) I just accepted it - I don't like confrontations & I'm pretty easy going. I was just going to accept this warning & wait for it to expire, but now I've found out I cannot change my display name I am extrememly annoyed. I don't know if my warning was justified? I recieved it at the start of September as I was involved in a discussion where people were talking about downloading an artist's leaked album illegally, but I also said I would purchase the album when it was released as well as downloading the leaked version, just so I could here it before it was released. I also have purchased the album from HMV too. Therefore I don't know if it was justified? I also don't know if anyone else in the thread received a warning? I am very upset I cannot change my display name because of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calum Veteran Posted November 2, 2008 Veteran Share Posted November 2, 2008 Ah thank you Mephistopheles :) I wish I could edit my previous post now :( Can a moderator please edit it & take out the information about my warning in my previous post please?

Asharae Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 My login name, has had a tm in it since I registered my account way back when.

p858snake Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 i have seen a neowin veteran with a tm after his name. is that allowed? Well they were disallowed because ipb had terrible support for unicode characters (and i'm not sure if they ever fixed it) and was causing issues with quotes and such but anyone that already had them were allowed to keep them. I'm not sure if the issue(/s) have been corrected yet or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something you have to live with unfortunatly :) i have seen a neowin veteran with a tm after his name. is that allowed? Yeah, Radish. There are a few others with this also. I believe it is allowed now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joel Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 I also said I would purchase the album when it was released as well as downloading the leaked version, just so I could here it before it was released.

shockz Posted December 24, 2008 Author Share Posted December 24, 2008 Yeah, Radish. There are a few others with this also. I believe it is allowed now? No. He was grandfathered in before the the special character ban was in effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calum Veteran Posted December 27, 2008 Veteran Share Posted December 27, 2008 How does that make it NOT illegal? :rolleyes: It is illegal, it's just at the time I subconsciously didn't think about it being illegal because I was going to buy the album anyway. Despite what I have said in the past, I think my warning was deserved and just. I just wish I could change my display name as it was a silly mistake I made just because I didn't think about my actions first :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethere Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Question for any mod: I've ceased using this GreenLemon name a long time ago. I've updated my display name, but is it possible to get the login name changed as well? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
