It turned itself on during the upgrade. It didn't seem like a big deal at the time. Then the 'dex tankies changed their usernames in unison. Changing them back forcefully feels like violating an implicit contract on the forum. In any case, there's a full log of name changes in the ACP.You shouldn't be able to change your username peroid
Yes.To hold grudges
No problem. You can still do that with the name changed.Yes.To hold grudges
Problem?
I honestly don't understand why you would even want to keep track of people's old usernames.
For what purpose?
Making something you shouldn't be doing anyway - because such obsession is creepy and unhealthy - less convenient is a pro in my book.I honestly don't understand why you would even want to keep track of people's old usernames.

Mostly convenience. Yes, you can note down IDs of posters you prefer to avoid but checking new usernames against them every time is annoying. Remembering name changes makes this less irritating

Creepy and unhealthy to avoid shitposters?

Or do you mean a use case where you would still want to see someone's post, but still somehow know their personal history as to not engage with them?
But if that is actually a desired thing, I'd much rather have a feature for it where users can assign tags to other users that they only see themselves.
While still having name changes be unrestricted.
This sounds like a good idea but also brings us one step closer to being GameFAQs.a feature for it where users can assign tags to other users that they only see themselves.
