That defeats the problem of people changing it all the time, and maybe to things that defeat the language filter. It would be hard to keep up with all the name changes.

Also if someone requests a name change, then U2U's me 10minutes later and then starts msg'ing on MSN to why it's not been changed, I'm more inclined to do it at a later time.

We are only human
Ive requested my name change 3 times, but it never happened. And I never send u2us or anything. Just used the normal system!! So what should I do?

Yeah but that would be one less burden for the mods/admin. As I said it was just a suggestion to throw in the discussion.

I've changed your username to Aint_mad_atcha from nowsthebturn as you requested in the u2u you sent there.

The username change form is off at the moment but if you u2u an admin we will change it for you, as long as you aren't changing it all the time.

Mods are unable to do so.

Actually. Can I ask why a mod doesn't have this right? Maybe if they did then this issue could be resolved?

If I remember right tooperfect has had quite a few username changes already, that is why I was reluctant to change it again.

Exceptions are people who have BB9 or housemate names in their usernames or if you u2u me I will still change it.
At least he could reply to people and tell them, rather than being pig ignorant.
