... to those members and moderators who like to edit their display name too often
To see different names everyday makes one feel like a stranger, creates much confusion and irritation. We request you to avoid changing your display names (too often) or making a game out of it.
You cooperation is very much appreciated.
Regards,
SF Admin team.

Okay but I'd like to make a suggestion if I may =]
why not let them have their freedom but under one condition that is they include their Original Display name/their MOST well known name around the forum.
For Example: if I want to change my name to say 'Day Dreamer' I'd have to write 'Day Dreamer/GG' or ' Day Dreamer AKA GG'
Thank you =]

The team had a very long exhausting discussion about the matter and all 'that can be done' and 'that should be done' has been looked upon.
Doesn't really make SF unique. Makes it look confusing. =X
I seriously feel so CONFUSED when I come to SF and see different names around me. And guess what? I'm the Admin been in this place for more than 2 years so what about the new members?
You can all change your signatures or your dp's or your custom title as MUCH as you like but the whole username change idea is not a very good one.
We are striving for the better. Sorry for the inconvenience. :(
-
It was just a Suggestion ;)
I'll do my best not to change my name very often inshAllah =]

Take care, GG. And it's really good to see you around. ;)

Yes Ma'am =]
Okiees =D ... =]

Thumbs up for GG's suggestion. (:

Reminder! Read if it's escaped your notice.

Sure Hamlet...errm.... are you Amelia nowadays, then? :P
-
Me no like this rule. ::)
-
More a request than a rule and it's necessary that every member in the forum is 'comfortable'.
Ibbi - Unfortunately, yes. :)
-
I am not always kind. :P
Next time, I will kindly decline this sweet request. ::) :P
-
If whole year, we keep changing nicks... then there is nothing special as such as in holding an end of year festival. -.-
-
Shouldn't it be the member's will ?
I am not going to break any rule.
I am just stating my opinion on the 'request'.
Rest is on you guys. Act or ignore it.
-
We allow members their will, but we request them few things to make of this a better place.
It isn't just about a set of rules and regulations-- it's about cooperation too. :)
-
Anyway, don't mind.
We will release all the chains for everyone when the time comes.^
Thank you, to all those, who cooperated till now. :)

Admins have the power the disable this feature ::)
at that time you will have no choice but accepting it.
we are just asking the members not to "ABUSE" this feature.

Good for them then. ::)
I have my out as well. :P
-
Most of the websites don't even provide this feature.
We are not trying to restrict you from using this feature but we just don't want members to change their name everyday ---> abuse it!!
If we all keep changing names every 2nd day then think, if a member didn't came online for maybe a week and when that member logs in, he will probably feel that he came to a whole new place 'cause he will be confused and we don't want that.
You are allowed to change names, it is not a rule but please do keep in mind that it can 'cause confusion for others.
We didn't come up with this because we were bored or had nothing to do, there is a reason behind it and its for the good. ::)
-
+ Abusing it gives us a reason to disable this feature.
-
i remember no use of sms /texting language started as a plea too but because of members like me it became rule !!! so guys better be careful dont ignore moderators / administrators when they request ;) :P
