| Suggestion for Forum: Changeable username. |
| (1/6) > >> |
| padmedog:
So, you would have a changeable visible name and you would log in with your username. So say you changed your name in Blockland, and you want it the same on the forums. You would change your visible name, and on all posts and stuff, your visible name would be shown, unless you look at the person's profile. |

This already exists, sort of. I log in with a different name than Wynd_Fox because Baddy changed my name. |

Not sure this could be implemented, and it would be difficult keeping track. People could also impersonate others, and you wouldn't know that x was y all along unless you looked at their profile. |

Or if visible names aren't too possible/easy, then why not we could change our usernames like changing our passes? |

Like, for example, if x had a vendetta against a certain person (let's call him Bob), they could save Bob's avatar, and change their name to Bob, then do a bunch of stuff that damages Bob's reputation. I dunno that's what I'm seeing. |
