View Full Version : Changing User Names
I've been getting an increasing number of private messages asking me to change User Names. This is something we don't actively support so I won't be honouring any further requests unless there is a very good reason for the update.
I dread to think how many other requests the Mods are getting if I'm getting almost one a day.
Finally, updating the case of your User Name is not a valid reason e.g. djusername to DJUserName
Thanks.

IM getting at least 1-2 a day.
Is there not a way you can set up a function where members do it themselves?
Works on other forums.

Admin/mods should be the only ones with the power to change user names.
If anyone had the ability, there would be a constant flux of handles shifting, you would be able to keep track of who's who and the thing would become a mess.
Admin/mods have the responsibility to decide whether or not a name change is valid or not. Like Stu said changing a name from lower case to caps letters is not a valid reason.
But if your handle is one thing and you want to change it to your producer name, like Kama did, then this is a valid reason.
Without the admin/mods to do this, the database of the site would be well unstable.
Hmm.. I think I have a valid reason to change my name..
When registering I didn't see that there was already another Dusty.
I picked this Username since my last name is "Staub", which means "Dust" in German.
Would a change of the username be permitted that way?
there are no other members called dusty. you are the only one.
(Oh and I know that my Nickname sounds dimwitted.)
are you sure this isnt the reason you want a name change?
theres nothing wrong with your name mate. (y)

Works fine on other forums mate.
Some of them have a scheme where it takes a certain amount of posts to change your name, then it gets reset. So it's not a constant change, only every so often.
Anyway, can someone change mine to BeatBrof please, as it is my producing name :)
On a side note, what happened to my thread about the renaming of the UK Underground and changing it to feature all other worldwide genres? Is that not going to happen?
Actually, there is.
There's this guy called "dj-dusty", and it might be confusing to some if there's two Dustys talking on 'ere.. :mrgreen:

seriously, if you can't take a little joke, or even understand a little joke, you might be in the wrong place, because there are bigger, badder wolves than me on this forum.
let's re-cap why i made the joke and maybe you might understand why it was all in good fun. you said... you only come on once a month. i read that, and related it to a woman coming on her period once a month and made a joke of it. you neither understood the joke or saw the point of it once i tried to explain it to you.

Yeah, i was editing it, just before you saw it i guess... It was this other guy, with fes. The thing i saw was with scotty. Doesn't matter, forget it.
I can take the joke man, don't worry. For the record, i said it hasn't been long since i'm on. On dnbforum i meant, you know that i'm pretty new here too (since may 09)...
No bad feelings on this side, your joke wasn't that big of a deal after all. We really got off on the wrong foot man, damn. x) Don't see me as the whiny belgian youngster, will you? ;D
Oh, and sorry to the rest of you guys, no homo-erotica here, i'm deeply sorry for the disappointment. (;

That's nice. Just don't say that when you come to belgium. We have quite a bad reputation with pedophelia here, so if you're going to say it like that... ;D
It's always fun when guys from the uk come to belgium. Extremely fun when it's skream, benga and sub focus, like next week. Ah man, that'll be the shit. Dubstep night with skream and benga on friday, sub focus on saturday. Holiday the week afterwards, first two days of school are schooltrip to germany, wednesday is armistice day. Ahh, school is a blast, especially when we don't have to go... (;

According to the 2006 Better Sleep Month survey, better sleep did result in better mood among respondents. When asked to rate their sleep quality, quantity, and overall mood over the course of one week, people who obtained seven or more hours per night were more likely to rate their general mood as excellent (57 percent), as opposed to those receiving an average of six hours of sleep or less (45 percent). Only 25 percent of respondents rated the quality and quantity of their sleep as excellent. That means that 75 percent need to take action to improve their sleep.

In fairness you should be given a chance to 'readjust' your username when you reach 1,000 posts. You've shown enough commitment to the forum to be given the option and it wouldn't result in mods being swamped with requests. I also think exceptions should be made because I dont think it was fair to make people who play out or release tunes (like Noize) sign up again bearing in mind some mods change their name for the lulz. Imo naturally...

You have a greater power on here compared to the rest of us. The power of being a moderator. And with that great power comes great responsibility Karl.

2 - the representation of my production moniker.

A whole new account, are you serious? You wrote 42 posts in something under 4 years... If you would have spent 4 years to reach 1000 posts and don't want to go back to no custom avatar, I'd understand, but come on dude, 42?
Just make a new account.
[Hedfone]
27-04-2012, 13:16
A whole new account, are you serious?
I wasn't implying that it takes a lot of effort to create a new account. It just seems pointless creating a new one when I already have one.
Edit: And it's annoying to create a new email address to make a new account on here, rather than a mod/admin change my username. Guess I'll stick with this u/n.
