Otherwise I bet some annoying user will request you to change their user name for them!

This is not possible through the phpBB system. And guess what.. webmaster will simply ignore suchs pms with name change requests. XD (at least this is what I expect him to do)

Sorry, I don't know much about php boards or any forum host really...
And I agree, webmaster would most likely ignore such requests, however, I assume they'd still fill up his inbox and be annoying with that regard!

Because it can be a pain in the butt when people change their names. I know you as one name and then the next week it's something different and then the week after that. If there was some kind of limitation, like maybe one change a year, but there is no such option.

Is this specifically aimed at moderators and troublesome users, or is it just users in general. I figure it's the former as your probably not going to remember a general user name anyway! In which case, you could bully your mods. Sort of ask them to minimize the frequency they change their user names, and keep you up to date with the troublesome username changes. This is sounding harder than just saying screw u all no name changes..damn

BULL!

Elaborate on how user titles "suck" and how they're "BULL" or stop posting.

elaborate? ok.

it leaves AA open to more abuse. ¬¬ need i remind you about Gravy Train, the "Mule" family, etc? someone will have something incredibly stupid, and it will be taken offensivley by someone, one huge row ensues.

sadly, AA is too full of immature people for it to work effectivley.

The mule family?

This isnt something I am bothered by, I havent changed my name in 3 years.

That's because you were inactiv for at least 1/2 of these 3 years.

That's why we have moderators. I've seen the user titles people have on other forums and none of them had anything vulgar or offensive in them.

you missed the last line in my post. "AA is too full of immature..."

i wasn't bashing other sites, because, i find, other sites i go to have more mature users. if we could rewind to summer 05, i would agree with you on the idea. but, sadly, i dont, due to the current state of affairs.

Again, we have moderators to oversee that users do not abuse this privilege. And frankly, lots of forums have hordes of immature and stupid users and those sites do not have issues regarding user titles. Their problems consist of trollers and fanboys for the most part.

You're silly being silly. People can have whatever username they want and thats not abused too heavily, I know not the exact same thing but the fact is there is no harm in trying something new. And as a former member of the "mule" family I am greatly offended

Also, there is a one week waiting period after you change your name, so people can't change their names willy-nilly.

I really don't see why we can't have custom user titles. As long as nobody writes anything vulgar it should be fine.

There is only a one week waiting period if you don't know how to get around it :/

Well that just means that you're a hacker.

I know exactly why, it doesn't even take ten seconds to change your name again, and it has nothing to do with hacking.

Then what is it?
