Two Queries: Infractions and User Name Change

    Greetings

    Just wanted to enquire about two things

    1) I did receive some infractions few months back :eek: Now that they are expired, why do they still show in my UserCP?

    2) Secondly, I've heard that we can get our username changed atleast once. Whom do i contact for changing my username?

    Thanks. And sorry for the trouble

    Good day

    The infractions stick around forever...even when they expire. It helps us keep track of the real troublemakers.

    BTW- I vote "no" on the user name change.

    Ahhh...Decently...Well i don't go to pool parties. Isn't that decent enough?

    Anyway, i didn't get any more infractions for so many days...just trying to prove a point about decency.

    Still if you feel so...well enough. In that case...will contact YOU after few months :(

    Many apologies- I had you confused w/ another user w/ a similar name. He's still banned.

    You should change your name, dude! :D :p

    Nothing muc. Wanted to have some generic name instead. That's all.
    I just read FAQ's/Rules about username change. It says that i can request and Mods will only change if they find my reason to be logical. I don't have any reason except that... i just want a new generic name. That's it.


    Edit: Ahhhh...Cool...So whom do i PM or contact to get that done Crazy_Rob

    Are you saying that there is already a member by the name WebDirectory or are you saying that it is activated now?

    You might want to think really hard on the name. You'll be stuck with it for a year!!! :D

    All some one has to do is register a name, and then no one can ever have it..until they request a name change!!!

    Well I had some names in mind. I checked on the member list but you know...memeber list only shows those members having atleast a post count of 1. So it's really hard to see if a name already exists or not. Until there is a way i don't know of.

    Edit: No. Not activated Shawn
