Question Username change (How should I do it?)

[Scarecrow B]

Hello,
I want to change my username to Scarecrow B (because back in the days when I created this account I didn't really think much about my username, and now I want to change it to my 'regular' usarname, the one I use in other forums), I have already googled this question but the most recent post were from March. They said that I should send a PM to an Admin or Supervisor, but my question is, is there some Admin/Supervisor in particular I should send the PM (someone in charge of changing usarnames).

Thanks in advance.

Any of them will do, though you may be denied a name change for specific reasons. Given you're less than a year old with less than 100 posts, I don't think you'd be denied.

What are the actual requirements for an username change? I've wanted one since '12 and never asked because my post count isn't that high.

From what I know, if you have a lot of posts they won't allow the name change to avoid confusion. You should be fine though.

There's no actual requirements AFAIK, just ask a admin and wish for the best.
It'd also be good to have little or no account warnings, though.

As far as i know, never had a single warning since i've joined back in '10. Where can i check this?

It should appear right under your country flag on your posts.

You would know if you had them. There is literally an indicator only you can see beside every post and on your profile!

Over at PP.org, we have a "Username Change Request" thread, where users can request a username change, and someone who's able will change it when possible. Perhaps there should be something like that here, to avoid this kind of confusion?

Nothing like this appears, so I assume it's not the case and i have yet to recieve any warning points. That's neat.

Some forums even ask for you to have at least 1000 on topic-not spam posts before you can get an actual name change, so yeah...

Maybe this is a dumb question but... is there a list of admins/supervisor? (so I can see to who send a PM)

Actually yes there is, if you do enough scrolling

Yes!

Thanks.

Recycling my thread. In case you get denied the username change should there be... like a notification or just not getting an answer is an answer itself?

You'll get a reply back with a reason why not.

Ok, thanks.
Btw I'm impressed by how fast you replied, literally 1 min after I posted.

Acc, i have 4 warning points (dont ask) and seems mods cannot change my name due that

Yep, things like warning points and high post amounts discourage most admins from making the change.
