hi.i was wondering if it was possible to change your profile name. i would like to clarify that it is not I who wishes to change their profile name, but a friend of mine, who has started recieving racist comments and sexual threats because of her name. I truly care about this person and if there is any way that this situation can be resolved without the termination of her account I would really appreciate it.
What cormyn stated in the Forum discussion looks decent:
[quote=cormyn]the way we're planning it is that you'll need to have been an active member for a period of time. Then, you'll choose a new username, and if it's available, everyone will see your old username on your profile for the next month. During that month, no other user can pick your old username. Once the month is up, another user can try to use that name instead, but other users will still *their* old name for the next month, etc.[/quote]
Fair enough. But if your like a wood serf, you can just get a new account and abandon the old one. Wouldn't make a big difference.
