Name Changing Issue ;D

I think that as long as they keep to the same rules as regular members that its alright.. Although a specific person that has recently been promoted has changed his name.. {Sorry David..} Almost didn't recognize him!

My original name was Night_Hawke, then I changed it too Night Hawke and since that technically was a spelling mistake I was allowed to change it to Night-Kun.. I don't remember exactly when I changed it, but I know its been the required six months.. If I can find the thread, I might consider changing it to just 'Night' as thats what everyone calls me anyway.. Anyway, not the point. Point is as long as they follow the six months rule I don't see a problem with it, but changing it once a week (if they really follow the five day rule -_-;;) then thats just too confusing.. Even if everyone knew that that person changed his/her name..
 
I personally don't like the 6 month waiting period...I mean, SIX MONTHS?? That's a long freakin time, cause ALL of PC has only been around for 6 times that amount. One month would be fine...3 weeks even...

I once changed my name to

SexyBubbleMistress6969


...BOY did I get in trouble for that one...hah....
 
We still follow the 6 month rule Night, I changed my name 5 days early, so next time I want a name change, I have to wait 5 extra days. XD

I remember coming on to PC and saying that D, I was all like: "Who the heck is that? Oo" XD

Dude... those name changing things always make me go: "Who in hell is praetored this time?"

Mihara (aka Jorge, Blue) and Tetsuya-San (aka Jake, Satoshi-Kun). Questions?
Nope, just making darn sure my name wasn't going to be mentioned since I just got my nick changed too. I had my former nick, "Tendo", for 3 years so nyah! =P
 
Is it like...a rule that all praetors must change their names to something that starts with a "K"?

wtF!?
 
Dakota, it's Kylie-chan. <_<;;;

And yes, I noticed the K thing, but who cares? It's cool 8D

Oh, and Greed, your join date doesn't mean anything except that you joined [__/__/200_]. <_< Why should you get a privilege just because you joined earlier?
 
I'm just curious...what is with the praetor color changing? @-@ It's just really strange to see it black..then teal...then dark red...then green again...

Oh you're right...NO ONE can recognize your name without the hyphen in it...

Eh..? Dear, I'm not saying that I should get privileges you silly goose. :/ I'm happy as hell with my new name :p

I mean that I see some members (4 months and higher) who'd like to get their name changed but some mods still refuse to change their names just because they are to follow that frigging month rule. I just think they've been active enough to at least get that small privilege to get their name changed earlier like the preators. :/

But hey, I'm just saying, I'm not complaining that we should have privileges I really wouldn't give a flying bird about it. Just suggesting :/ lol
 
I'm not referring to you as in you as a particular person. D: It's in general.

Nah, that's not really fair. x.x; I don't know the exact reason we have that cap, as I wasn't involved in the decision, but I daresay it's for a good reason. If they want to change their names within less than six months then they ought to have thought more carefully about the name they picked.

And the staff only changed a few days early.

Sorry if I was a bit impolite. ^_^; I'm a bit sensitive on the join date issue right now. <<;
 
6 months is a really long time...and over a simple thing like name changing.

Personally, I think a month or so would be the optimal time. People changed aves and sigs all the time...
 
Reply to Kylie-Chan:: Some other forums got that name change thing but for just 2 months. Some members would get really sick of their names and be disappointed at that 6 months thing. o_O; It must be frustrating for them to wait half a year so that they can get their name changed.

It's just that I also find it a bit unfair for the normal members that staff members get to change their names early. I'd be pretty pissed if I were one of those ever-name-changing n00bs ad saw that mods were getting special privileges. o_o

But meh, that's just what I think. I wouldn't know how the other members would feel. Oh, yeah, I apologize if I sounded rude myself. >>; Its just that I'm getting paranoid about everybody here again @_@

I personally think that only a month is WAAYY too short.
._. Like.. I always get mixed up about who's changed their name and whatnot (because they never state that they changed their name in their sig or anything.. so yeah)
@@ So if everyone was changing their name every month it'd get really really confusing ._.

I like it kept at 6 months~ 6 months is good~
