Normally I'd post something like this in a super-secret forum, but I want to know how the public would feel about this.

If you've been around since the days of RN and Madcoder, then you'd know that custom profiles had been commonplace (moderators and administrators were free to change as they liked, special select members received one from the administrators). Now, since the era of Firenimmo and Seiferoth, they have both disapproved of custom name schema. But I was only toying with the idea since it could definitely encourage more activity and participation with some of our RW Events activities or the SOTW post, just to name a few.

Post opinions here. The final decision rests with the moderators and administrators.

THE ERA OF COMMUNISM

If this option was open to all, then it could be open to abuse. The Men will have to look around to see whether the content breaks any rules. MORE WORK FOR YOU

I'm thinking that only good people who actually do stuff for our community should have them, not the general public.

So I'm saying Admins choose who get them.

I'm thinking it could be viable as a prize or part-prize for event winners. For eg. person who won the iron war a while back could have thier profile name changed to 'iron-war champion' or whatever for a certain amount of time. I don't think individual moderators should be given the option of changing the names.

Agreed.

I do not believe they should just be given out.

Users should have to earn them by winning contests, and such.

Basically what Dxgr8ter said.

I would agree with what's been said so far concerning making custom profile names a reward for something.

I also say that the names would not be changed by anyone other than an Admin. My concern would be abusing the priviledge if anyone could change theirs at will.

I would agree. I didn't plan on having anyone but Admins changing these names.

Thanks for the feedback so far.

It's like a Virtual Host in irc, Operators give them to whoever they want to, but not idiots.

Oh, the old days, do I remember those .

Anyway, it would be a nice add-on, and it actually might just increase the general activity of our forums.
