Think of it as a free, VIP/donator feature, they paid about 50BTC for the possibility to change the username and you can get it for 500 Merits, they paid money to develop the forum and you participated using your effort, time and high-quality posts.

This feature will be the best thing to have if you're planning to scam people,or if you are high ranking old scammaz.The feature should be given to those who donated bitcoin to the forum.

No, it is about Merits, not activity.

Am I the only one who thinks it's fine the way it is?

The current system is very time consuming, and there are no drawbacks to making it automatic. Remember we are talking about the Name.

The username created when registering for the first time in this forum is your unique code or identity.

Only the display name will be changed, you are still having the username.

Nah, I share the same opinion. It would also result in more work for theymos if he had to code the system to present users with a unique address, and then its the logistics of verifying that data.

Time will be much less than manual modification.

I would say NO to changing username feature on the forum, as it makes the forum world more harder to be friendly and identifiable to everyone. Even makes the overall experience on the forum confusing to many.

Users can still search for you using the username. The only thing that will change is the display.

Again, this forum focuses on the quality of posts and not on those who participate.

A clearly NO from e also , because as already said and written it would be abused maybe from others !

I don't think someone who spends a lot of time getting 500 Merits will be misused (Scammed/Spamming/..etc)
