Any way to change or update your username?

Post by precita » Sat May 27, 2017 5:00 pm

Other forums generally give you the ability to change your username, or a mod/staff member can do it for you. Is there any way to do it on this forum? If not can it be added?

I don't want to start a brand new account with a different name and lose all the posts, etc. I made here over the last 2 years.

No name changes here, we have to live with our mistakes. Pretty sure alternate accounts aren't allowed, either.

The site should have a paid subscription that allows the user to have numerous perks (bigger avy, name changes etc)

I don't understand why they don't add it, plenty of forums like this have the feature. There's nothing wrong with wanting a different username after a while.

I don't really care either way, but I have to admit, sometimes I wish I hadn't haphazardly typed in a variant of a username I hadn't actively used in years when registering here. If I were to register today, I'd use my real name, since I'm not fond of anonymity.

I can kind of see it being hard to keep track of who you're talking to if everyone had the option to change their names whenever they wanted.

IIRC last year they let a couple people change their names, and after the update, me and MetaMoss got capital letters added to our names.

Bit disappointed. I mean you can still trace IP's so if people do it to get out of trouble for trolling or whatever the mod staff would still be able to tell it's the same person with a new username.

Some of us might either regret our username we chose to register here or just get bored of it and want a new one, other forums have something like a 1-3 month limit when you change your name so you can't change it again right away either...so something like that could be implemented.

There's really no way to change and I'm content with floofychan333, but I've since moved on from using that name on other social media.

No way to change it, there probably won't be any either.. it would be nice to have it though..
I am fine with Ki Breaker but I will admit, if I knew I can't change the username ever, I would have put more thought behind it

I'm sure if you win a couple million dollars and bribe the admins with a few hundred thousand bucks, they could change it for you. It would be dumb not to, right?

But other than that I don't care either, my name is already perfect.

If you did read it please tell me how.

I made "DrakenBallP" just to see if an account would actually get activated. It's not terrible, so I'm content.

Still chasing after that white whale. I haven't used the "Lemmy" moniker in years.

But, who cares. I've been a consistent advocate for the no change policy in the past despite that it goes against my own interests. ;p
