Hello guys I would like to change my username and have been trying to do so for a while. Can you please tell me why we don't have option to change our username ourselves? This username is outdated and this forum is the only forum where my name doesnt match up with the other platforms i use. Could we please figure out a way to get my name changed that if i ask for one and its taken we can try on another. Im sure you all are busy and don't need to be focusing your time on this but that is why i ask about us not having the option for ourselves.



Thanks in advance.

    IIRC the reason why you can't change names yourselves, and the reason you're limited to 1 name change per person, is because of the way the forums host peoples' usernames. Even when a username is no longer in use (for example, my old name "Doddle28", which is obviously no longer my name) the forums still thinks that it's somebody's name, and only one person can have a username at any one time.

    Furthermore, the mods need to ensure that peoples' changed names remain friendly and consistent with forum rules, as the requests need to be passed up to the head moderators (who I believe are Lulzi and Mandy). You can flag your own post, or comment on a mod's wall, to try and get their attention and usually they'll reach out in a DM.

    well thats the problem i havent even gotten my name change yet. I asked for a name they said it was taken and i feel like that was my only shot at changing it. Just super annoying to have one name accrosss all platforms and forums and then this one is totally different. Also they have reached out but like i said the name was taken i tried giving one that was another variant and no they won't do it. Im not sure if you are allowed one name change or one "attempt" at changing your name because its been months and still nothing .
