You lose respect for people if they change their name, Donkey? Bit harsh, in't it?

Naah, I mean I lose any respect I had for them because I no longer know who they are. If I can't remember someone by name or long-term av or whatever, I'm naturally going to forget who they were before.

Uuh quick question i tried to withdraw a third of the points in my bank, but it says i don't have enough points to do this even though i wanted to withdraw 3000
From 6000 so i would 3000 both ways, but apparently i need points to withdraw?!

I'm with Betong on this. Not exactly losing respect, but certainly getting annoyed, in this case, as I like to call people by a name I can consistently use. If they keep changing it, they risk my just not addressing them altogether, as I refuse to have to keep calling them by new names. It's a massive sign of immaturity to keep changing names, after all.

Well IMO its a bad thing changing name all the time... I did it myself and whats the result.... Nothing.... serious everybody who still knows me call me Shinso... so what I'm planning is to change my Username back to Evangeline Shinso-chan. I actually think it would be a good idea if only admins could change other users name.

[Dark Evangel]

That last suggestion is an excellent one, Shinso. It'd stop abuse of the feature and be in responsible hands

Only from your PoV. Really it's a large display of intolerance on your part from this side of the road. You wouldn't be throwing rocks if you were inside the tent. And besides as i've already said there are times when you NEED to be someone else.
Also If you DO decide to remove the name change function i would appreciate being notifyed before hand so that i may pick a definitive name.

Maybe we should set a limit of something like 4 name changes a month between the whole forum, then have a first come first served style system.

That could cause fights

[billgoku]

How about just limiting each person to a certain amount each month. My opinion, you choose a name when you register, stick with it.

[Betong Åsna]

Precisely. We never used to have this function and no-one had any problems. It's silly.

[!]

Yup,however since its here now, we can't just simply take it away. People seem to enjoy it, and I don't really have a problem with people changing their names, so a compromise is whats best, and that's what we did. Dare I say this issue is settled ?

[Betong Åsna]

zzz settled. You change your name as much as anyone. Where's hinarei when you need him?

[Aniki]

heh, just to get you all pissed off I changed again!...this time into a female o_O

[!]

What? you weren't a female already ? And no, i don't change my name often

[KC]

Well my new name is a zhang tribute

and secondly, deva, ur opinion is wrong
