Could I be re-named?

DS' Guest Profile · 06-17-2008, 06:32 PM

I've heard from Tass, that the apostrophe in my name is causing Skill Tokens and Tokens not to show up in my profile.

The reason for this profile to exist was to let me beat up some pals at FFR, also at Skill Tokens and normal tokens!

If it is possible, I would like to get the apostrophe removed and then you won't hear from me again.

It should look like:

DS Guest Profile

~and NOT~

Thank you in beforehand.
Cheers

Unfortunately, only special people get renamed. I think ZZ_Sprite was one of them.

EDIT: Apostrophes can do that? Maybe you're special enough then.

EDIT2: What Yuu... I mean irishknight said.

Oh wow, that sucks.. I hope you can get your name changed, hm why is that apostrophe causing so much trouble?

**irishknight** · 06-17-2008, 06:36 PM

You technically CAN if the staff is willing to help, but seeing how you're still generally NEW, it's still not too late to turn back and just create an alternative account.

It'd be much easier for everyone if you register with a new account.

because apostrophes and quotation marks are often used in coding to show the beginning and end of a value. That apostrophe will make it seem like his name is only "DS"

it would be nice if we could switch our stats to a new account and delete the actual one.. and on the new account saying somewhere : Old Acc Name : *Username*

cause we can be bored of our actual one and i dont want to restart all over..

Last time I checked it's really not that difficult to have your name changed on a forum. I've requested this myself on other forums, and there was never any mention of a hassle. It could be different with FFR because the forum usernames are integrated with the game, profiles, etc.

I don't know about vBulletin, but I know on phpBB forums the administrator can allow the option for a user to change his or her user/display name at will.

Well I sort of agree with Irishknight that is the best way except, you do have a subscription on that account.
Goodluck Bud.

LLaMaSaUceYup · 06-17-2008, 06:48 PM

You should just create a new account...

**Frozen Beat** · 06-17-2008, 06:53 PM

If you heard from Tass, then maybe. However, I doubt he'll do it.

**travman301** · 06-17-2008, 06:54 PM

Yeah, I would just suggest you make another profile as well.

The only way to get your named changed is to beg an admin. And usually it takes a lot to get them to change it.

I remember it took Tibs like a year to get his name changed.

And he was very well known. You have played 35 games...

Just save yourself the trouble and make another one.

**Skeleton-GotW** · 06-17-2008, 07:01 PM

lol. The dark and merciless nature of the apostrophe has been made known. Mark this day.

Wait so you have this account to own your friends in MP? Isn't that against the rules?

**~One~** · 06-17-2008, 07:16 PM

You COULD get it changed. Its a matter if Tass wants to.

DS doesn't have a subscription to this site. I'm sure he'll be fine.

If you are actually referring to me, then I have no idea why you're referring to me.

I have to agree with this, you have 35 games played in a few months, it won't be much of a difference making a new account, you could re-get all your scores in an hour, if even that long.

Izzy · 06-17-2008, 07:20 PM

Just make a new name. You havent done anything on this one yet.

DS' Guest Profile · 06-17-2008, 07:20 PM

Actually, this is not my main profile. That is DarthSatoris

So I've been here for a longer time than you think...
And don't mind the ban on that profile, it expires tomorrow at 10:00 local time. It was something with posting two times at the same page in a "game thread"... and yes, I've learned my lesson. No doubt about that!

And the reason for not making a new one, and request a name change is because I think it would look ridiculous to have this profile just standing and collect dust... It would be better with recycling

Lol, this is ban evasion then.

Also, why do you even care if it's an alt?

uh oh.... Am I in trouble? I really don't wish it to be...

Am i getting banned again? and for how long? It was a mistake! really! I didn't know! Please don't ban me again. It was difficult enough for me to get through one day without the forums at my side!
