Should nick changes be allowed?

[1]

Opinions?

Nope. Not after last time.

 

[Oubliette]

No, it allows people like Thus Spake Nosferatu aka Bryce777 to get onto the Mount&Blade credits twice.

Maybe, but so long as there is a limit.

 

[Lost-Lamb]

No.

What was last time? And anyway, if I remember Janus used to be happy to do minor changes and one major change...

Clever and subtle touches are always welcome; basically they are no different than custom titles. IMO, the problem is with the requests for nick changes. I don't see a reason why so many people have changed their nicks. They were not given those nicks, they picked those nicks. So why change it? Even twice?

Plus, I have had difficulty in the past to find out who the hell that new guy with one thousand posts was!

 

[Yair Hunter]

I think they should, but with a (was: -previous name-) or something visible in every post. Though, it looks like they won't be.

 

[morgoth2005]

That'd look stupid.

 

[Oubliette]

It would. Maybe their custom title could be changed to "the poster formerly known as [previous nick]" instead.

 

[Redcoat-Mic]

Still, no.
I think the system is fine as it is, if you want to really change your name go ahead and PM an admin, but just making it easy would get damn right confusing and it's bad enough when people change their avatars.

 

[Merentha]

I'm willing to make name changes on a very, very minor scale, such as changing a capital letter or correcting a spelling error.  Once.

 

[Redcoat-Mic]

Wow, I'm totally awesome.
I got mine changed, I used to be Henry V for some reason... 

 

[morgoth2005]

Yea, Fancy Pants John, I remember.

I got mine change thrice!

Why?

Changing to Fancy Pants John was ok, btw

Top Tip : Requesting a derogatory nickname is pretty much guaranteed to succeed.

Admin instruction no 544568 : Any member requesting a non-derogatory nickname has probably made a mistake. Feel free to correct such errors.

So I can't be called Erik The Red, but I can be called Suckup McBrownnose?

Fair, I guess.
