Display Name Modification
Hello,
I have been noticing that there are quite a few people who are asking for their user names to be changed. To avoid getting this type of requests via eSupport (if that is what the administration wants of course) perhaps a display name modification could be installed at some point? http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=40428 This could perhaps reduce the time that is used for reading change-my-username requests.

Not so sure if the Admins would like that. Users would be forever changing their usernames and for the small number of requests that they get, I don't see this being beneficial.

Not to mention the potential for people to 'introduce themselves' and then re-introduce themselves after a name change, or just good old fashioned trolling ...
Code:
UserA: I think this is outrageous UserA becomes UserB UserB: I think you're full of crap UserB becomes UserA UserA How could you, you don't even know me ;,( [repeat ad infinitum, or until some n00b tries to quell the flames]

True, but restrictions could be applied eg. once ever X days and users must have over Y posts. Thank you for your feedback

I'm working through greeting everyone in the Introduce Yourself Thread but it won't get them much rep from me unless they've been around for a long time with a lot of posts and relatively low rep :-P Besides, when the name does change it retroactively changes it in all their posts. So your conversation would end up ... Quote:
