Users like me, who have changed their IGN, would like to have some way to possibly change their username on the forums. I don't know about you, but I would like to match my minecraft name.
Things To Know
How It Works
A new forum topic would appear on Project Korra, Username Changes. There you would apply for a forum name change. You need to have a valid reason for changing your username, and if staff doesn't like it, they won't change it.
The application form below would be used, and I will fill it out as an example:
Application for Forum Name Change
1. Why do you need this change? (So staff can determine if your reasons are good enough)
I would like to change my username to match my minecraft IGN, so that way people can recognize me when online servers. If my username is not consistent with my forum name, I might not be credited for the suggestions I make. That's my main concern.
2. How long do you plan on keeping this minecraft username? (This way staff has an idea of how long you might be keeping your forum name)
At least the rest of the year.
3. What did you want to change your current forum name to? (So if staff agrees to this name change, they know what to change it to)
I would like to change it from Fly to Easte.
I assume name changes would come with a cool down more than likely, but it's not needed if the staff reviews applications and does it themselves to keep things clean.
I saw an idea about having your previous username next to your old username in brackets for a week or two so that people can recognize you and adjust to your new name. I honestly don't think it's a bad idea, so I thought I should include it somewhere in here.
I hope this redone version of my suggestion makes more sense, and I also hope you can come to agreeing with this idea.

Things To Know
- You must "apply" for a changed username through a forum topic
- You must apply using the form given
- Your reason for changing a username must be valid
- You can only change your username every couple weeks (1 or 2 months)
- Staff reviews the applications, accepts them & denies them
