Although you can change your screen name your original login username will display in moderation reports but I don't think it fair that to any normal user another user can completely disappear and reappear as someone else at will. I don't mind changing screen names for genuine reasons and I have had requests over the years and not turned one down yet.

Names in old quotes don't change either, so that's a way people can check for themselves.

I noticed that too.

I've put my old name in my profile to avoid confusion.

If lots of people have a problem with this, I can change it back.

Don't worry. As it's only a single letter change, along with the same avatar and country flag you're entirely recognisable. I just doubted myself for a moment when I saw a name that felt different than before but was still recognisable. Like when one of your acquaintances gets glasses and you can't figure out what changed.

Simon:
This was part of the problem, user stirs up a fracar and changes name and avatar and becomes a new user in the eyes of others.

Tweakers.net solves nickchanges in a separate subforum where you can only start a topic, but other users cannot reply in it. Only moderators can do this. There are also rules. Maybe this can be “copied”?

Look, (use translate or ask if you do not understand) https://gathering.tweakers.net/forum/list_messages/812397
Max once per 18 months is a rule, and the allowed chars are listed, since input validation is missing now.

The sub forum they have you put these things is called: “kick a mod”. (Schop een Modje)

Simon:
Why bother? Changing name should only be done for a very good reason, just message a mod/admin and we review it and act accordingly.
