The moderators have recently had to deal with the question of members changing their names to harass other members.  Contrary to what some of you may believe, the moderators (and the sub-admin) don't have the ability to change your membername for you.  Only David does.  This leaves us in the difficult predicament of having members whose names essentially harass other members with every posts.

The present mood of the moderation team is that such names cannot be permitted on the site.  Therefore, this is your official warning.  If you change your membername in a way that overtly attacks another member, you will be denied service until such a time that the name can be changed back.

We don't particularly like the system and hope that David will soon give us a way to deal with this issue without denying members service automatically.  However, until that time, be aware that harassing members with your membername will result in an automatic denial of service until such a time as the name can be changed.

Edit: First.

I think changing your username to harass another member is an offense that deserves being banned, honestly.


-- Posted by Brando Pernando at 7:23 pm on June 23, 2009

lol, peoples feeling bruise like peaches


-- Posted by PhoenixFire613 at 7:24 pm on June 23, 2009

I haven't seen anyone do that, but then again I'm not on very much.

When I finally get $6.00 donated to my account, I only plan on changing it to Batz, Batty, Batz613, or Batty613...


-- Posted by jamesish at 7:24 pm on June 23, 2009

Good deal.  They should be banned, at least for a short time till the name can be changed.


I am surprised that The Professional doesn't have this ability to change names.  I think we can trust him with this feature.

This.

Although, as others have said, I haven't seen it yet.

"indigo font on a white background is a little funny to read"

Particular instances like this are being discussed, but for the moment every account we find that harasses another member with its membername is being put up for DOS.  Better safe than sorry.

It wouldn't happen, but I would assume that we would demote and ban.

Thank you.


-- Posted by jsia at 7:50 pm on June 23, 2009

Maybe the timeout of them getting their service denied might make them think about what they've done? Or not.
