<- The new @WhovianNerd16 Take that cookie thief. Whovian is correct, we have ban reports/records and we have tools to check name changes. This will just be another thing to adjust to, like that time @_Razz killed me 8 times. You get used to it. It's going to be interesting to see how many people changed their names when c0wg0d flips the switch. I know that personally I have chatted with people that have told me that their username was something else. I agree that it will be hard to adjust because you get used to calling people by their old name. That's why I wanted a new username that was either a shortened version of my current, like "b12arr0" or one that had biz at the beginning, like "bizarr0" or "_biz". I worry that I would lose some friends if my name were changed to "PeanutButterLover431". biz
This is something that can and probably will happen. This is one of our fears about a user renaming themselves and damaging another players reputation or friendships. My guess is that if we encounter this scenario, that player will be banned, either temporary or permanently, depending on what they did.
So like if _zelda75 started swearing and bullying my friends and when I logged in they started hating me, _zelda75 would be perm banned. Thx biz
This is what c0w states in his post- Additionally, if you change your name to something that is very similar to a moderator name, like c0wg0d1 or hamsrus2 or V1rgeric, you will most likely be banned until your name is changed to something else. We cannot allow others to attempt impersonating us or giving us a bad reputation to new players who don't know the difference.
