I don't think that we should do it this way, but I think users should be able to change their name if they wish and theymos granting a few recently is only going to make more people want it and it's quite unfair when certain members get it but not others. I've suggested in the past that username changing should come as a perk with new donator ranks. Maybe the names have to be staff-approved first but I would be surprised if someone would throw away potential hundreds of dollars just on the off chance that they might be able to dupe someone. There could be some sort of warning feature when a user has recently changed their name like we have when someone changes passwords or whatnot as well.
Did that user change his name? Anyone can try sign up with a similar-looking username but the likelihood of them being successful is very slim.
Theymos said the forum doesn't need money, so paying a small fee doesn't help anyone.
Give it to charity. Or me.
hope such application is not done in the future. because if it is done it will make it easier for Scammers to change their username and imitate the names of members who have high trust in this forum. as the case below.
let the current policy be the final decision, so no one is impersonating else's username. even if there is still it from the members who just registered.
