| | Posted: | | | | As title really. I've done it myself the last couple of days and all it does is cause confusion and can leave things open to abuse to imitate other users.
I see no positive reason for being able to do it. | | | | Last edited: by samuelrichardscott |

| | Posted: | | | | Agree with tweeter. Other than 1 user who changes his name every few months, I've only seen 2 or 3 users change their names and there's certainly been no confusion. |

| | Posted: | | | | BTW,, gentlemen, when I change myname, it is for entertainment mine and hopefully although no obne ever seems to want to have any fun with it, or if they do get it they don;'t talk about it. I think this place needs a FUN transplant. Everyone of them has SOME significance.

| | Posted: | | | | Aside from the fact that this belongs in the Website forum, I also agree with Tweeter. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.
The Centauri learned this lesson once.
We will teach it to them again.
Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.

| | Posted: | | | | I have to agree with the majority here. I think if someone wants to change their name on here they should be able to. | | | | Pete |

So when are you going to change your avatar? He won't. Unlike us poor saps who upload in the Heashots thread, he has written consent from Disney himself allowing him to use this picture  As for the topic, On some forums I'm a member of, they allow users to change their username, but it needs to be approved by a mod before that change takes effect. I think that's the best way to deal with such matters: it still allows users to change their username but it will stop users that abuse this feature or overuse it. | | | Blu-ray collection

| | Posted: | | | | If someone wants to change their name or their avatar then they should be able to...and as often as they want.
In saying that, I wish they wouldn't. I get used to associating the name and avatar and I prefer they stay the same. Or, if using a new name/avatar, the old ones could be viewed as well.
Changing names/avatars makes me feel like I'm looking at someone after bad plastic surgery. They are the same person but it doesn't look right. |
