Answered Name Change Question

[Rem]

After a name change
will your original (previous) name go back into the pool to be used

For example
@Yes use to be known as @RushinWind
now that he has been changed to @Yes, does that mean, someone can take @RushinWind?

If yes (no pun intended)
Is there any policy or rules in place to stop impersonation of other members?

Very Sharp Question @Rem ..

Are you interested in acquiring Rushingwind Username jk ..

Okay, jokes aside.. I think, yes! There should need to specify in the Rules..

Also, if old username history exist, then noone can able to re-create such old used usernames..

I don’t think it should be as it would lead to a lot of confusion as to who’s who, especially where generic usernames are concerned. It would be an absolute mess and I think on the other forum too it wasn’t allowed?

I don't think it will be allowed by default.

I’m actually waiting for @UnusualSubstance to make the change so I can take it up for a day.

I’d love to see the world from their POV for a bit.

I had it set to 1 year originally because if I disabled the option, usernames would just become available to register again immediately after they're changed.

I instead set it so that usernames are now unavailable to re-register for... one hundred years!

I updated the username site guide to reflect this change: https://officeoutlaw.com/threads/username-changes.255/
