I would like to change my name, "Chase.Collins19", to "Chaselicious" but I couldn't figure out how. I was wondering if there was anyone who wishes to humor me by telling me how?
Could I get my name changed to just Air ?
You would have to ask a
Supervisor or Administrator for help with that. They tend
not to grant these kinds of requests because members have abused it in the past and some have been known to request several name changes a week. Or they might build up some kind of reputation under a certain username, then change their username into something completely different (even change their avatar), which confuses the hell out of other members.
They're more likely to grant your request if:
- you're just adding or removing numbers in your name (ex: someguy07 => someguy)
- you want to add/remove a space in your name (ex: someguy => some guy)
- you want to change capitalization (ex: some guy => Some Guy)
- you want to make your name easier to read/write (ex: 4C3-8055 => ACE-BOSS)
- etc.
In other words, the name change can't be drastic, and it should be available. If it's not available, then the person currently with that username can't be an active member (must have an extremely low post count and not have signed on for a long time, the exact parameters of which are up to the discretion of the Supervisor/Admin).
If you want to make a drastic change (ex: StinkyCheese => ComeTurismO), it has to be for a good reason and you should offer to impose some kind of restriction on yourself (such as promising not to change your avatar so you'll still be recognized somehow by others, or changing the custom title under your avatar to say "formerly known as _____" for several months, etc.). You should also be a member in good standing, and not someone looking to change your identity in an attempt to hide your trollish past from others.
If you can make a strong enough case for why you want your name changed, then they
might do it for you (no guarantees, though).
Hope this helps!
