Allow people to change their names once

I think it’s a good idea! But I don’t think staff should be responsible for name changes because, then all the invadedlands staff will be excessively bugged to change forum names.

Yeah I agree, that would be good.

Here are a few reasons why I don't agree with this;

1. Obviously, staff do enough as it is, pouring hours in-game moderating the chat, and being active. If we added another task, then logically their DMs would be swamped and it would horrific for a staff member.

2. Yes, there could obviously a filter put in place, however people can still do things such as: n1gger, sh1t, or c0ck, and other related words. This would ultimately not be good, and it would be hard to handle it.

1. The only load for staff members would be for the dev, that has to implement this. Adding the feature of changing the name once would actually stop people that want to change their names from DMing a staff member.

2. This can already happen; when someone creates a new account, their name can be already a bad name (example: @BlankSpaceHere's previous name was P0RNOGRAPHY). If someone was to do that, there could be a feature where staff can disable changing the name once it's been changed by staff.

At the current time there is no way to allow forums users to change their own names, however as this is a popular suggestion it can be looked into to see if it is possible to find/make an addon that would allow users to change their names x amount of times. This isn't a primary concern, though, so I doubt it will be a priority.
