Reminder of Username Policy

Reminder of Username Policy
I just wanted to remind everyone of the 1-name-change policy that we have here on this forum. We carried this policy over from the old forum because it worked well and it fits well with our community. We generally discourage username changes, but the one-name-change policy is intended to cover those times when you outgrow your username, you have a lifestyle change, or you simply didn't like the name you initially signed up with. At the time that you make the request, we advise you of the policy, document your agreement to the policy, and we carry out the name change. 

We have a close-knit community, and we have a lot of trust and confidence that our users will adhere to the letter and the spirit of the policies and rules that we created to help us manage our little corner of the internet. If you feel that an exception to a rule should be made to accommodate a need or desire that you may have, please try reaching out to us to discuss the matter.

What about when we outgrow our selves, our old views, beliefs and opinions or simply don't like the person we initially we were when we signed up? Consider Tongue

Speaking of names, did I ever tell you that my great grandfather was called Peacock and my so my surname is "Of peacock". Thus, translated into English, my name actually says Faith Of Peacock.

And vice versa. (No new cocks either for that matter).

Speaking of cocktails, I made frozen strawberry daiquiris. The taste was a little weak, so I grabbed what I thought was pomegranate juice and dumped a healthy dose of lime in before noticing my mistake. Not bad, actually.

Well I'm still unwise so my username is still good. 

If I ever smarten up I'll change it to just sapien,  but not much chance of that happening this late in the game.

He's fine, so long as you don't mention that thing. You know what I'm talking about.

In the scheme of things, is it important? I don't see that.

If you want your name changed, you can ask us and we will oblige - but only once. We clearly explain at that time that it is only once. We want members to be able to always know who they are talking to. 

Phaedrus had his name change once and did know that it was only allowed once. To avoid being told no, he made a sock. We can't have everyone running around making socks to get around the few rules we have.

His sock is now disabled, the Phaedrus account is alive and well and ready for use.

Your name is the one that identifies your account, and it can only be changed once. If you want to add a signature with a nick, that's cool.
