Since a change of username can lead to confusion in the community and requires a lot of backend work to correctly execute the change, we would have to put it up for a community vote.

Would you like us to do that now? If so, then please let us know what username you would like to change to and we will create a 7-day poll.

If the majority of voters votes "yes", then we would make the one-time change. This change would be final and no more changes would be allowed.

If the majority of voters votes "no", then you would not be allowed to change your username and the decision would be final.

Please confirm.

We're here, we just don't get involved in discussions unless a member asks us a question, or we see a member break one of our few rules, or if a member chooses to involve us (e.g. by unfairly attacking us or our site). That way, our members feel more at liberty to express their true opinions without fear of repercussions.

 

Unfortunately, that username is already registered.

Please provide an alternative.

 

Thank you. We have started the community vote here.

 

For several reasons:

1. Changing of usernames can create confusion in the community, particularly for those who aren't aware that a particular member has changed their username. Things get especially confusing if the member seeking a username change is quite active.
   
   
2. When we change the username of a member, it only changes the username on their posts, but not where they have been quoted by other members. This would create even more confusion, and requires us to manually update every post the member has been quoted in to change their username. This is not a simple task.
   
   
3. We do not wish to receive regular username change requests, so this drawn-out, community-dependent, and uncertain but final process will ensure only those who really want to change their usernames go through it.
