About namechanges
« on: December 19, 2016, 05:24:14 am »
 Last days I have noticed many regulars changing their nicknames, it causes certain confusion in game (besides being stupid).

 Personally I think that everyobody is free to chose a nick but it seems that people are abusing it, so I suggest to put a limit on this OR insert a info on /stats that shows that player's last nickname.

You can check their previous names from the cp.

True, but I guess it'd be good if we could know that in-game, while we play, instead of going to CP.

I agree with Gabby. There must be a limit for the name changes.
I think if a guy changes his nick once a month will be good rather than changing every week. And show it in the /stats.

Since 2010.

My opinion is, let anyone change his/her nickname as many times as he/she wants. There is no need for such restriction. But yes, previous nickname should be displayed in /stats, +1. The CP is great, but I don't always want to go there just to check nicknames instead of typing a single command.

No, honestly the name change every week is completely nonesense for me. I don't to see a new name change every week, also its a burden for level 5s.
Therefore, I conclude my words by saying that name changes should be done monthly, by this i mean minimum time required for a name change should be at least after a month from the last name change.

I also agree with this. There's really no need to change your name a couple of times every month. Once a month is enough.

That's exactly what we don't need lol. People will just keep changing nicknames all the time and soon there won't be any way of telling who is who.

But yes, previous nickname should be displayed in /stats, +1

I agree with that, past nicknames should be displayed in stats as well

Even on GTA Online, Socialclub id can be changed once in 365 days. So I think it should be limited for like once per month or once for 2 months..
