Disallow Similar Name Change

[LonelyTree]

Alright, so today I was having a nice peaceful study session when Dahyun decides it would be funny to change his name to LonelyTree using an I instead of L.

People may have different opinions about this topic, but I believe this is essentially impersonation. I don't think you should be allowed to change your name similar to another user. When I say similar, I don't mean xxdragonxx vs dragon. I mean LonelyTree vs LoneIyTree. Like come on man..

Now, this affects me a lot since a lot of people know me as LonelyTree (A name i've used for around 2 years). It is currently Hello due to a misunderstanding on my part of how the name request system works.

Ok, first of all, I'm sorry for this.

Secondly, for the people saying that I'll scam by impersonating LonelyTree, why would I do that while I can just exit out for $2,500+ without doing so. (Not going to exit out just saying)

Thirdly, they should give a warning in the name change page like "If you use an i or l, rn or m to impersonate someone intentionally, you will receive warning points and your name getting changed back".

There are some cases that this might not be intentional. For example, Shaymin goes by the alias "sln" as he went by it before even coming on here and there is a person named sin.

Lastly, if one of the staff members can change back my name, it would be much appreciated.

i had know idea LOL

If you fall for someone who impersonates using this technique, then it is completed your fault. Not necessary for this to be added.

Worse argument made on this thread.

LOL Didn't even realize that he copied you.



Even though you actually copied him.

We already do warn users for impersonating others, but you decided to change your name from LonelyTree to something else so he's not impersonating you if that's not your name.

Denied, thanks for the suggestion.
