Forum name change

Postby RocketCrew » Mon Mar 11, 2013 3:48 pm

It would be nice if there was an option to change ones forum name. Honestly when i first made RocketCrew i just typed it in because the last hero i had played in DotA was Techies. It shouldnt be like unlimited times of name change because then people could change it constantly and it would be hard for people to keep track of who is whos after 100 name changes. But maybe if like... every individual could change their forum name... 1 time per 6 months? That doesnt seem like too much of a chaos and it would stop people from making new forum names when they make a new warcraft account.

I wouldn't mind doing it for people. To me it's not a huge deal.

Could be confusing if people are allowed to change it themselves.

I suggest to PM teller :O (I guess he got right of doing it) if you realllllllyyyyy need it.

Still, if you start abusing ask, he will prob block pm.

Option 2: You just have to ''unvalidate'' and then ''validate'' your new account, name doesn't have to fit. (I think this can be done right? o.O)

If you're asking for being admin, we accept you and we prefer to change your forum name to be the same as you Bnet one, we'll do. Otherwise, it change nothing if your both name doesn't fit. Like forum name would be BobMarley / Bnet username is MamboJackSparrow... ImO, you have the same ip so we will know if your telling truth or not in the end. :)

Ent Accounts there will be listed your validate account. You will be able to click the ''delete'' button.

A question with uakf.b... Can I validate multiple account? Or it will interfer with my admin in-game etc? Just asking To not valide a second acc and get... trouble hehe ^^''

Yes you can validate multiple accounts, so you don't have to unvalidate and the validate a new name. And no, validating multiple accounts won't affect your admin abilities, you won't have admin on your other accounts though, just under the name we have set for you to be admin.

This is why I talked about the Bnet account validation. Not only for him, but other that will read it. I mean, don't make multiple forum name, just keep the same and valide your account :).

THEN, if he wanna, a day, become a staff member and we feel that he should have same forum/bnet name, we would change it?.. Sorry if I wasn't clear. Well, did say what I've to..

Have a nice day :)!

If you use Ent connect, your forum name must be the same as bnet name

You don't need a Battle.net account to use ENT Connect. But you should set your LAN name to the same as your forum name or you might get desync on some maps.

At any rate, if you really need your forum name to be changed for some reason, PM me the name you want it to be changed to and why it should be changed. We're not allowing users to change their name to avoid confusion/abuse.
