someone explain this to me

[Katana]

alright so i sold a 2013 caped account named mostxd, it had one name change in this thread.
https://www.mc-market.org/threads/605586/

to the guy i sold the acct to, he changed the user name to "mvce" after that, on namemc the date that mostxd was changed (april) was replaced with mvce, and mostxd was completely gone from the name history... thats weird aff. https://namemc.com/profile/mvce.2

not only that, then the guy tried changing a sfa name to mostxd, it worked on namemc it was shown. 2 mins later, he changed the name again and it was gone from the name hist and became available again. (idk how he changed twice in 2 mins, this name is fucked)
now the name is blocked (mostxd).

this is proof im not bsing
https://namemc.com/search?q=mostxd shows as available, never claimed by any acct
https://www.mc-market.org/threads/605586/ me making a thread in cape acct with the same name, which needs to have the name associated with ur profile. soo he basically got a prename since its suppose to have 2 name changes, not 1.

bug from earlier today lol

essentially what happened was that when you changed a name earlier today, it would overwrite the last name in the history (but keep the time from when you changed to the last name). this also explains why mvce has the change time of 4/27/2020 instead of today

because the name in the database was replaced and it kept the old time, you could change your name ONCE instantly (this doesn't work after the first time you do it) because it uses the old time instead of today's time (and the old time is more than 30 days ago).

this also worked to convert accounts with 1 name change to a prename. it also allowed for instant transfers of igns which a friend of mine did with Petaluma (old account was augieCRAFT - has the same ign 2 times in the history, he changed CaboVerde's name to Petaluma and CaboVerde was removed thus making the new acc a prename)

i'm pretty sure the names that are blocked as a result of this bug will be available again in 37 days as per usual.

if more clarification is needed i'm happy to explain more

That's not very cash money.

few months ago was a method to delete username history from normal accounts without special capes etc

mind explaining the method even though it's patched? i'm curious about how it worked before it was patched
