Name Change

[Phoenix20578]

Can one of the Admins or Mods please change my name to Phoenix. I relize that Phoenix is already taken by someone, so can his account be deleted? My logic is this: I consider myself a good poster, and I'm involved in alot of the threads, where this guy hasnt showed up in over two years. I will be eternaly grateful to whoever can do this for me.

[masamuneehs]

i absolutely disagree with name changes idea

you got a name, i got a name, we both just arrived too late to get the exact version we wanted. Neither of us were smart enough to come up with a cooler sounding version of the name to work around the original already being taken. that's life.

besides, don't we already remember what happens when you just go deleting accounts? Whoever was Phoenix will have all his posts (and threads) deleted...

What if you disappear one day and come back two years later to find that someone else now has your name? (not that strong of an argument, but...)

besides, if I was a mod and gave you a name change, then can you imagine the number of people who would also come and request name changes? Granted, you do contribute a lot and I can't even recall the last time the original Phoenix was here... but I just don't agree with this idea...

[Phoenix20578]

Well, its not like this hasnt happened before

complich8 had no preoblem giving name changes for a while (within reason). Anyway, the last time this guy showed up was September of 2003, and all the threads that he posted in were ether deleted by KRB's idiocy or just died over two years ago.

But I do understand a little about coming back and having a user name deleted and used by someone. How about sending him an e-mail and waiting about a week to see if he objects. That seems fair.

[masamuneehs]

at the same time as i see the point you make (about your name getting changed), i think that thread sorta shows how silly the entire name change process gets...

the problem really is that to just give you a name change and nobody else is pretty mean and unfair. If one member can do it, anyone should be able to. The problem is that people will start to change names so rapidly that there will be confusion in Quotes, older posts, quotes in older posts and whatnot. Besides, do I really want to go figuring out who is who after a radical name change? Not really...

guess we'll have to see what the GW administration decides on this one.

[complich8]

(1) Only admins can change account names, or alter most other account details. Currently, the admin staff is me, ciber, wilik, and terra.
(2) I don't, as a matter of policy, delete accounts. Ever. KRB's fuckup should tell you why.
(3) The account "phoenix" has 293 posts. Because this account has posted before (and fairly extensively, at that), they've earned the right to their name. Even if it is unoriginal and conflicts with your own.
(4) I'm not opposed to name changes, as long as they're not frequent. If you really really want to change your name to something unique, I'm willing to do it. But just because you're a self-described good poster doesn't mean I'm going to kick someone else off of the name you want. As a matter of policy, I won't, ever. It sets a bad precedent that I'm unwilling to set. Even if the last time they showed up was ages ago ... it doesn't matter.

So, long story short ... if you want a name change, I'm fine with it, and I'll do it within reason. But I will never, EVER move a person off of their name to give it to someone else, regardless of the circumstances. Especially when it's a name with a high collision rate (such as ... well ... phoenix, which matches 11 names on these forums). Sorry, that's just how it is.

If you want to pick another name ... maybe one with fewer numbers tacked on the end? Or l33t-ified (ie: ph0enix)? I could do that for you.

That's alright. Those numbers accualy has some importance to me, and I hate dealing with those numbers replace letters usernames. I'll just suck it up and stop my bitching.

[complich8]

probably for the best :-D

Hey thanks a lot!!!

[IFHTT]

Well I have arrived at a point where my member name is unsightly to me now, seeing as how I've lost the hate for that little pig bastard. However, I've grown to like my acronym, and since I use it on irc, and in my sigwork I figure changing it to "IFHTT" would work. It shouldn't cause any confusion as most members address me as such (or tonton, which is still fine with me if thats what you prefer to call me) anymore anyways. Anyways if this wouldn't be too much trouble, I'd be really appreciative of the change. Thanks

[LaZie]

Well if possible, I'd like a name change to LaZie since its simpler I guess as long as it isn't taken already.

Why would you name yourself TonTon even after you're rid of his hate? Do you love him now?

Also remember your aunt "Oh TonTon loves us so much" :D

[IFHTT]

I don't want my name to be changed to tonton, I was just implying that if people like, and I know some probably will, they can still refer to me as tonton... <_<

[complich8]

whatever...

[mage]

Can I have my name changed to complich9?

[complich8]

nope. You fail.

[Board of Command]

Then can I have complich9?

Now on a serious note, can I get changed to just "Board"? My current name is stretching the margins of my post and is just too big and bulky. I was being an idiot when I made the account.

[complich8]

that's .... so much less distinct!

I mean ... you're right, your name causes things to stretch ... but are you sure you'd be happy just being "board" ?

I'll do it if you want ... but I'd say that's a definite downgrade. What if we just made de-uppercased the BOARD? Probably unbreak the layout just with that...

[Board of Command]

Ok. I guess Board of Command works. You can take out the underscores right?

[complich8]

that work for ya?

[RedX1z]

if it's not too much trouble, can you change my name from UltxDarkRedX1 to RedX1z? basically trying to keep is short and simple.

edit to below: appreciate it.

[complich8]

sure sure.

[Board of Command]

that work for ya?
Thanks a lot.

[Mizuchi]

could you please change my name to

Son Goku

or if thats taken then

Son Goku Jr.

Please and thanks very much :)

[complich8]

That's ... pretty lame. Water snakes are much cooler than ripoffs of the monkey king.

You sure about that?

[Mizuchi]

well, i know but i already made a sig for the name son goku and im not exactly respected enough for sumone to make me a really worked on sig for mizuchi

[RedX1z]

well, i know but i already made a sig for the name son goku and im not exactly respected enough for sumone to make me a really worked on sig for mizuchi

well, changing your name isn't going to change who you are, you'll still be you.

[Mizuchi]

well, changing your name isn't going to change who you are, you'll still be you.

I kno, im not looking to change my identity, but i already have a nice sig for the name Son Goku and i cant really get a good sig for the name Mizuchi

[Board of Command]

I am totally against this idea.

[RedX1z]

I am totally against this idea.

your reason being? it's not like he's asking for anything special, just a name change. i don't see any harm in that. plus, it'd be a waste of a good sig of his.

[Deadfire]

your reason being? it's not like he's asking for anything special, just a name change. i don't see any harm in that. plus, it'd be a waste of a good sig of his.

I don't understand this logic here.

We are to change his name because he wants to match a sig he so happens to have....

Wait a minute here; can't he maybe use a new sig, Remake that sig, edit that sig, or not use a sig?

I really don't see the point of changing a name to fit a sig because that person chooses not to be more productive and fix something of his own doing, but instead takes the easy way out

[masamuneehs]

this is why name change requests should be done over IRC or PM. Everybody starts thinking they're entitled to a name change whenever they see fit...

Red, your name was so much cooler before.
bOc was always pretty badass, but i can understand getting annoyed stretching the page out...
mizuchi, if you can get your reputation back to green (good god i've never seen someone with rep THAT low) you can have MY name, or any one you want for that matter...

yeah! i mean wait, that's not what i meant to say, putting the sig aside, i'm just saying he should just be able to change his name if he wanted and if that's alright with complich8 or anyone else.

@masa: what exactly made my other name cooler? it was longer and people always mistakened it alot for something else when it didn't mean that, which suprises me, because it leads me to believe you knew what it meant. on that note, i just wanted it to be short and simple.

also, one thing i learned while posting in these forums, it's the poster, not the name.

alright, i think i'm going to stop here before i really do something stupid.

[complich8]

I'm fine with changing names for what I think of as "good reasons" ... but my definition of "good reasons" is completely arbitrary.

I'm open to suggestions, but I tend to ignore and forget about a lot of irc traffic -- it's much more transient. Private messaging me works, but it annoy sme, and confuses people. This thread is still here for a reason: I'd like to keep username change requests in public, if nothing else so people who care can figure out what's going on.

I felt like the name changes I granted in this little rush have all been pretty well justified, and for the most part either neutral or positive changes (which is why BoC didn't become "Board" -- I felt it would be a negative change).

Mizuchi is a distinctive name. Son Goku is just another dbz fanboy, blending into the background noise. I'd rather have an ill-regarded poster with a unique name than an ill-regarded poster that's also got an annoyingly crappy name.

I'd suggest that maybe someone from the photoshop realm extend a helping hand and make the kid a decent sig. Deadfire? You seem to have time on your hands :p

[xDarkMaster]

Eh, I don't see why you guys care so much. If he wants to become a DBZ fanboy and lose all his uniqueness, let him. It would be his loss.

@DF: Not everyone can make a cool new sig as often as you can, and not everyone is as proficient in PS as you are. Or maybe he just really likes the sig. As Comp said, if you oppose the idea so much, why don't you change the sig for him or make him a new one?

[mage]

mizuchi, if you can get your reputation back to green (good god i've never seen someone with rep THAT low) you can have MY name, or any one you want for that matter...
I wonder if he's even gotten a positive rep before..

[Splash!]

I would like my change to be named from splash to Splash! if its not too much of a bother.

[Board of Command]

your reason being? it's not like he's asking for anything special, just a name change. i don't see any harm in that. plus, it'd be a waste of a good sig of his.
"Mizuchi" > "Son Goku" because DBZ isn't cool.

[Mizuchi]

Eh, I don't see why you guys care so much. If he wants to become a DBZ fanboy and lose all his uniqueness, let him. It would be his loss.


I dont want to be a DBZ fan boy. In fact, I hate DBZ. I just want a cool sig and I don't really remember how to use photoshop. Even if I learned again that goku sig is the best one I ever made, and I don't think I could make another like it.

(for those who dont kno what it looks like)

That sounds nice and non-controversial.

[Mizuchi]

That sounds nice and non-controversial.

No response on mine? :(

[Board of Command]

1. That sig exceeds the size limit on Gotwoot, which is 400x100. Resize or remake it first.

2. With some practice, you can make better ones. You can definitely make something better than that.

[RedX1z]

"Mizuchi" > "Son Goku" because DBZ isn't cool.

well, who are you to decide what mizuchi wants? gay or not, it's his choice, so we shouldn't butt in.

@mizuchi: yeah, what board said, that sig is way too big and you CAN do better.

[Yukimura]

We have no right to tell him to learn to use photoshop. I refuse to learn b/c I don't like creating, so I ask others do it for me. And if he wants to name himself Goku why should we care...he could just as easily make a new account if he really wants to change, then we'd have to start neg repping him all over again. I personally don't want to have to rebuild my part of the masterpeice that is Mizuchi's rep on a new account. And anyway comp grants or doesn't grant name changes based on whatever the heck he feels like anyway.

[Mizuchi]

Oh well. Since the name change probably won't happen, would anyone be kind enough to make me a nice looking sig?

[Board of Command]

Go to the sig request thread.

[mage]

Before anyone does that, do this first.

I don't think any name change that completely changes your identity should be allowed. A community isn't a community if you don't know the guy that has 500 posts because he changed his name to something COMPLETELY irrelevant to what it was before.

I think name changes should only be permitted if it keeps the person's identity established (like IFHTT would be a permitted example)

[yallo]

Hey Complich8

Wondering if you could help to change my nick from smilealwiz to yallo please? Not sure if this is considered something that will cause "loss of identity", but yallo is what I go by on irc and pretty much everywhere else on the internet. A few folks on this forum know me by that nick too. Well, thanks in advance!

[Kraco]

You should at least promise you would still keep smiling, even if your nick was changed.

[Assassin]

smilealwiz: you can't lose ur identity cuz you dont have one yet.

I agree with assertn about the identity thing. Its annoying when new name with 1000+ posts suddenly appears out of nowhere. At the very least, when someones name is changed thier old name should appear in big bold, possibly colored letters in thier original request.

Atleast that way we'll know that "Big_b0b_38" is infact "xX Tiny Tim Xx".

[Sasori]

I should have found this thread sooner. On the grounds that I ended up with a name I thought up half assedly when the original name I wanted wasn't available, plus I'm not so sure I have enough posts or rep to be considered a regular here.. May I change my name to "L"? It's what I originally wanted but couldn't have because of the restrictions set in place. If you don't like L how about Erru-kun?

(I know my sig says "Sasori" already, in the mean time I could take it down and wait till Lucifus has enough spare time to change it if my name gets changed)
I'll be frank, Sasori is a cool dude and all, but I don't like him very much..

[complich8]

I'd rather avoid 1-letter names, and engrishifications of one-letter names too :-p. Besides, you'd have to be pretty damned manipulative to warrant the name L.

Seriously, a man called Munsu Bauer isn't going to break anybody's fingers.

[masamuneehs]

... i don't think i'll ever get used to Bud having a new name...

I'm not really big on the name changes. I know people pick some weird names that they're not content with later, but that's part of what makes the names interesting. I considered having my name changed to masamune (i know there's a member with that name already, but he hasn't been around for almost two years or so) or just masa. I dunno though, somehow don't think it'd be the same...

well, if it amuses the complich8, then it shall be done, and you will rejoice in it...

every forum I go people start calling me RZ... lol
never plan to change it though.

Edit: Omg, I just noticed Buds complete and total makeover. Its not right. I'm not gonna get used to this for quite some time..

[Augury]

Hm.. a day late. Echoing all the other voices here: Munsu was so jarring I looked around the forums for the name change thread. It's like Bud with the freaky face avatar disappeared from all the manga threads, except he didn't.

[Deadfire]

In IRC


<Budweineken> i got a massive hangover
<Budweineken> fuck
<Spiegel> Munsu how much did you drink
<Budweineken> humm.... don't know, maybe like 12-13 beers and one drink
<Budweineken> and don't call me Munsu, it sucks

I don't know what to think about this....

[Kraco]

At least we now know it took 13 beers and one drink to make Bud change his forum name to Munsu...

[Spiegel]

It makes me wonder why he changed his name in the first place... He says Munsu is a Kickass Character yet he hates his name...

[KitKat]

I have a habit of picturing people according to their avatars, and for the longest time I could only imagine Bud as looking like his crazy psycho avatar, before I saw his actual picture. He's one of the few people that's kept a sig and avatar for years without changing it once. And now, all traces of recognizability have been swept away. Only the custom title remains. I have a feeling this will end up like the case of Haku, where he changed his name to Arcness, and yet everyone still calls him Haku, or at least those of us who knew him first as Haku. Bud will always be Bud to me.

[XanBcoo]

lol @ Spiegel calling Bud "Munsu". Clearly the name hasn't stuck...and probably never will. I can't imagine any more regulars suddenly changing their names to something unrecognizable. Like..."what am I supposed to call you now?"

KitKat's probably right. People will call others by the names they're used to.

[Raven]

Wasn't Bud's original name "Mondongo" or something? I still think of him as that. :p

The only thing that gave me any clue at all that Munsu = Bud is the "Jack Bauer" title and insane number of posts. Suddenly I see this new Munsu guy posting in every other thread, so well, I figured he can't be anyone other than Bud.

Kitkat: Hmm actually I think Bud does look a little like his old avatar. At least, the kinda exploded hair portion? :P Heh...

WHO THE FUCK IS MUNSU.... I know this is extremely late, but I can't believe that complich8 actually oked this name change. I mean that is a very bad decision, DAMNIT.

I refuse to call you anything other that Bud/ heineken related.

Bud change it back please.... I will buy you a beer and maybe and external hd I promise possibly

change is the essence of life. Bud hasn't always been bud. And he picked a character that is both completely badass and pretty obscure to name himself after.

Doesn't that count as a worthless post? Isn't there a minimum word count per post for it to register? I guess quoting adds to the word count, however artificially it contributes to your contribution to the thread. You should look into changing the code for that.

This is the last time I remind you:


And stop bringing up in your posts when someone should get warned and when someone is breaking the rules and we haven't done anything. There's a report function for a reason. You keep it up and I'll warn you instead... for example "Isn't the above poster breaking x rule? Why isn't he warned? Hey prepare yourself for the mods warning you for posting in the wrong section" Those types of comments are not needed and are annoying. Use the report function, but be sure not to abuse it.
stop showing up the mods

[Hikyuu]

IM pretty sure he is a mod and can do what he wants >> or at least Aone staff

[Animeniax]

If there is no law, who will police the police? If the mods/admins don't follow the rules, how can they expect us to (without some grief)?

[Hikyuu]

Except it wasnt a worthless post? He said no.

[Animeniax]

It was worthless as far as I'm concerned. How about some elaboration? They ask me to turn over a new leaf, but refuse to help me in doing so.

So are you kissing mod ass trying to get KitKat's vacated mod position? Good luck with that.

[Hikyuu]

He does not need to elaborate. anyway I'm done here.
P.S I did not even know Kitkat was a mod .. I havent posted on the forum for like two years :P

[Animeniax]

You give in too easily.

Maybe I'll create a new account instead. Thanks anyway.

[ChaosK]

[complich8]

My post wasn't useless simply because it answered the question. I declined your request. I declined to offer justification for your request. That's all. I quoted you because the question was separated from the answer by a nonzero distance, so I felt it would be better to clarify what I was declining.

For reference, I'm an admin, not a mod. Mods can't do things like changing usernames. They also can't grant/revoke titles or make the sort of tweaks that I typically make. I try to keep my nose out of moderating in general unless there's some sort of staff dispute or obvious spam.

As far as making a new account: feel free. Heck, if you get it to a decent post count and end up somehow managing to get a positive rep with it, I might even consider merging your old one into it at some point in the future. But if you use it for ban evasion (ie: you get one account banned and you come back with the other), that's pretty good grounds for a permaban of both accounts and possibly an IP ban on every address you've ever posted from, if I'm feeling vindictive.


Could you change my name to Spade?

I would like my name changed to BroRapist. It has a very nice ring to it and I've used it sparingly all over the intarwebs.

[Kraco]

Oh. It would be sad for the forums to lose Board of Command. Such a memorable name, even if nobody actually bothers to write it fully and shortens it to BoC for convenience's sake.

[Board of Command]

BroRapist would be even more memorable in the days to come.

[Abdula]

I agree with Kraco, I have enough trouble getting used to that avatar muchless a complete name change.

[Board of Command]

No? You guys seriously don't like BroRapist?

[complich8]

I don't really like it... I think it's kinda lame.

[Board of Command]

You guys are no fun.

[Animeniax]

Yeah, Board of Command is about the most unique and appropriate handle I''ve seen on the internets.

I considered changing my name, but Animeniax suits me too well. It says "I don't give a sh*t" perfectly.

Wow that's weird how everything is retroactive when a change like that is made. It's almost as if there never was a guy named "assertnfailure" on these forums. It's like when Germany writes their history books...

[complich8]

Once the rockets go up, who cares where they come down? That's someone else's department.

[Animeniax]

So am I any closer to earning a name change? I don't want one, just wondering.

[complich8]

Well, since it's all hypothetical anyway, it pretty much depends on the name and my mood at the time...

pretty arbitrary, huh? :p

Indeed (even though i did think there was an 'e'.

[Archangel]

Well i don't know if anyone ever posted on animeforum.com but they have a great sistem there. Basically, you win points everytime you post and then u can do some cool stuff with your points like changing your name, that thing below your name ( the one that says genin right now) , other peoples things below there name, etc. Im not sure how that works exactly but i know some of the mods there, i could ask them.

[complich8]

Not interested. Custom titles here are rewards for various things, including achieving a very high reputation, winning our occasional contests, or just somehow deserving some recognition.

Name changes are granted by me, to people that I think have a good reason for them and deserve them. The landscape can shift, but by filtering that shift through me, we can keep it from becoming too ... shifty.

Everyplace is different though... whatever works for them.

[Archangel]

Well as long as they do have the option to change i guess it's ok. Btw, any idea when is the next contest gonna take place?

[complich8]

dunno, me and all the mods are lazyasses so ... someone's gotta suggest a decent contest before we do another one :p.

Really that's up to an admin isn't it? But I agree, wanton name changes cause too much confusion. Maybe if a name change also reset your reputation to 0 and resulted in a post-count deduction, that would be more fair.

Could I get my username changed to MrX? If it needs to be longer, then DrRodeo will have to do.

Also, can you check if there's an account by the name of V. Yeah, just one letter. It transferred from the old site. Can I have my old account back??? If so, then I don't need a name change. I'd be more than happy to get my old account back.

They are banned and the original member warned when spotted.

[complich8]

incidentally, there's a minimum and maximum username length that's enforced on registration. New usernames have to be between 5 and 20 characters... so say the params..

usernames shorter than 5 characters are either old accounts from the fusetalk days or accounts that have been renamed.

[Paper]

Can I get my name change from paper mache to just- Paper

[Assassin]

whats with the recent members having thier names changed? you guys couldn't just pick something you like to begin with?

[Ryllharu]

Archie and Idealistic got their names changed, so now everyone is looking for one.

If you grant both of these, you may not have any reason to deny Animeniax a change much longer.

Do you really want that?

If it is a racial epithet, horrible l337-speak, associated with a former hugely popular series (so a flavor of the month sign-up), or simply excessively long, that I can understand. But if there isn't anything fundamentally wrong with their name, I wouldn't bother granting it.

If you do that, you have either:
a) them return in a few weeks to have it changed back, or
b) have even more flooding in to get their names changed as well.

I can't say I have any sympathy for wanting a name changed when you've been here less than a year.

[Paper]

When I first signup I pick that name because it was "different", but I'm mostly refered by Paper, and it has a nice ring to it so that is the reason why I wanted to change it. I know i'm a newbie and usually request goes into the Sh*t files.

[Animeniax]

If I had ever seriously asked for a name change, what reason would there be to deny it?:rolleyes: I guess we can't all be humdrum posters devoid of personality.

I said it before and I'll say it again: name changes undermine the social binds of online communities. Changing from "The Archangel" to "Archangel" isn't a big deal, and even Id3ali5tic to Idealistic isn't too drastic. But anything more and we might as well go with random name reassignments every month.

[complich8]

I could write a script for that. Say, pick 3 random people who were active in the last month and assign them new randomly generated names.

That'd spice things up ....

[Nadouku]

I could write a script for that. Say, pick 3 random people who were active in the last month and assign them new randomly generated names.

That'd spice things up ....

Only if they change back to who they were before after the month's over though. But yeah, it could be fun, though they won't be completely unrecognised with sigs and avatars though. Maybe the script also disables avatar, sig and rep, maybe even post count too?

Then we'll have fun guessing people's identity from their posting style :D

For name changes, I remember DeadFire who wanted to be changed to SaberFire judging from his personal title.

[Kraco]

That whole thing was a joke. Wasn't there some thread way back where people suggested him custom titles, or something? He took the winner, the one he now has, as his custom title. It's all due to him being a heavy Saber fanboy.

And DF indeed was a mod and he's one of MangaTraders admins as well. MT being a huge site built by a bunch of mainly gotwoot folks like Kai and Wilik (and TT), and DF and Yuki.

In other other events on this topic. My title was given to members of the forum from a vote organized by Kitkat, another mod of the time. Seen here (http://forums.gotwoot.net/showthread.php?t=14315) that vote even had drama in the form of spam-members created only to vote for the "Jackass" custom title. Ah the memories.

My current work load has me at a state that I can contribute more watching anime and reading manga then before, MT is in a state that I don't need to interfere with it.

As for my Mod status, I gave it up about the same time Kitkat and Assertn did. Seen here in my departing letter (http://forums.gotwoot.net/showthread.php?t=15085)Gave it up more because I didn't know what the future may hold and someone else could take my place and function.
