it's 30 votes to 7...

I believe we should put this poll to it's final resting place and leave it at it's final result......

they will not, or ever will let user's have the ability to change their name.... I'd doubt they would want any more chaos on the board

I'm in favour of people changing their names by themselves and abusing it.

Oh wait, no I'm not.

I, ever the fan of overkill, once did a whole system for this. You'd click something called "Request name change", and enter the new name and a reason for name change. Then the admin would log in, and check a certain page, and either approve or reject the request, optionally with a reason. (The user could change the request at any time, including cancelling it.)

You know, I might add this in now, and lower the bar so that full mods could also approve these requests. Opinions?

This would work, I think. Because that it's based on the approval so no real abbuse can be made, and it's easier to name change on request.

Well I rather contact a admin personally through MSN and such for a name change, it's quicker that way.

And heh, I prefer that users must go through admins for renaming themself.

Jesper's system would work great on a large board.

A request thing is different because at least then we wouldn't be extremely confused.

I always thought we should have an "original name" field viewable by mods/admins so that we know who certain people are with name switches.
