Forum name changes: Change of policy

[Loken]

As some of you may be aware the new forum does not have a separate display name feature and uses your username instead. For the time being, we have given regular members the ability to change their forum names at will due to the unintentional changes that came with the removal of display names after the transfer to MyBB.

Unfortunately this makes keeping track of who people are significantly more difficult and time consuming for the forum staff. As well as opening up a huge amount of potential for abuse from members.

Because of this the ability to change your username is going to be removed one month from now. You have until the end of December to change your name to something you are happy with. After this point any name changes will have to be approved by the forum staff.

We understand that a lot of you will miss the ability to change your name, but it just isn't going to work any more.

Spread the love,
Your friendly neighbourhood moderator.

After a couple extra weeks out of the kindness of our hearts, we have disabled the name change feature for members.
