[quote=eehjhay]• Only moderators should be given privilege to change the members' usernames • Usernames can only be change one time • Members should gain a certain post count and days covered after their date registration in this forum • Consider as a prize from a contest or event[/quote] [b]Thanks for sharing your thoughts here, bro. Yes, I like your ideas. I think those would be a very good standard to go by if this feature should ever be implemented.[/b] [u]Only Mods can change a members' username.[/u] [b][i]I agree with and have no problem with that. I support that 100%.[/i][/b] [u]Can only change a username once[/u] [b][i]I support that 100% as well, as to avoid too much confusion and as you stated, being able to track the abusers, etc.[/i][/b] [u]Post count requirement[/u] [b][i]Good one, too. Although, if I may add to this one. I think on a lot of the 'post requirements' for certain abilities (100 post to vote or request, etc) are too small. It's way too easy to hit 100 posts, or even 500 posts if you're determined. For this feature, I believe the required post count (if implemented) should be for a higher standard. My suggestion to the required post count to 'hypothetically' use the edit/change username feature should be no less than 2,000 posts, maybe even 2,500.[/i][/b] [b] [i]My reason for making the 'required postcount' so steep is for a couple of reasons. 1) If you make it to 2,000 or 2,500+ chances are, you're gonna remain active in the forum, therefore, by remaining an active member, this feature would almost serve as a reward for doing so. 2) By sticking around to reach that high post count, the Moderators have had a very good chance to 'get to know you' or 'observe' you and how you behave or interact with others. 3) Just as I had already stated, 100 or 500 (and even 1,000) posts is relatively easy to achieve and for this kind of a 'special feature', it should be more demanding to achieve it.[/i][/b] [u]Prize from a contest[/u] [b][i]That's a good option, too. I myself doubt that I will ever enter any contests here, so I hope for the other options more. But for those who do enter into contests, I do support this one, too.[/i][/b] And yes, you're right, everyone should think carefully before registering a username here or in any forum or website. Although, as I had said, sometimes even the most careful decisions can turn out wrong. And everybody makes mistakes, but everybody deserves a second chance, too. Well, again, thank you for sharing your ideas hear bro eehjhay. Appreciate it, as with all who reply here.
