Should nick changes be allowed?

[Cleaning agent]

I should be called Master-Debator in that case.

 

[Sir. Velmu]

As long as the name is recognizable (like taking something like "Sir." off), it's up to admin's mood wheather he chances it or not, but I'd hope we wouldn't see anymore Vilhjalmrs around.

 

[Cleaning agent]

Oh, stuff it.

That's it. Change his nickname to something derogatory! (mention no specific name for fear of Bugman treatment.)

 

[Merentha]

You do know that "something derogatory" does, in fact, work as a name, right? 

 

[bugman]

HEY! I said Seff! Not me!

 

[Raz]

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

Ah! I remember you now!

 

[Redcoat-Mic]

Well, at least I left a mark on some people. 

HEY! I said Seff! Not me!

Well and truly

Saw that one coming a mile away.

 

[Highelfwarrior]

No, because it's damn confusing.


And yeah, I did actually change mine from Highelfwarior to Highelf but I'm purely talking about full name changes.

Yours was almost a necessity!

 

[Tarrantmw]

If you want to change your name. just make a new account and delete your old one (or ask for an admin to delete it)

 

[morgoth2005]

That's called alting and is a bannable offence.

 

[Tarrantmw]

That's called alting and is a bannable offence.

It wouldn't be alting because you wouldn't have another account.

 

[David Derde]

Fair enough, I suppose. I'd say a limit, but not a particularly prohibitive one: people change, and so does what they want to known as.

Aw c'mon. That would be SO cliche

Back on topic... It's been 42 votes already

Yes, with no limit.  - 3 (7.1%)
Yes, but there should be a limit. - 21 (50%)
No. - 11 (26.2%)
anyone but manslayer - 7 (16.7%)

Also, considering that it's the job of the admins to perform the requested changes and that they voted either "No." or "Yes, but there should be a limit." options,  I say it's high time we officially announced that nick changes are limited to minor corrections etc. Lynch?

EDIT: And a side note. This thread has nothing to do with my change request being discarded.

Unfortunately, we are not a democracy. The admins rule with iron fists and any sign of protest from the rabble and they'll send in the cavalry to hack at our feeble bodies.
