'So recently, multiple users have been changing their usernames and making a new account to do so. Although you may say, "Pistacunt, you bitch, its fine STFU," do you even realize how spammy and annoying these things are beginning to get? Like, I understand, sometimes you want to change your name because it's really embarrassing or some shit but you shouldn't be doing it every single month! As stated, I know multiple users who have done this. Even ones that you don't realize do it. '

-Redirect Hell Spawn

'If you were to change your name and keep the same account, it ends up with a hellhole of redirects on almost every single goddamn thing you even made on that account. If you do it multiple times, it will redirect the new things you did under your new name and triple the amount of redirects under your old name.'

-Keeping Track Of Names

'More than one user has made new accounts under different names. I mean, I understand if you do it once or twice, but at some point, you lose track of who is who. If you change your name 10 times, some people might not know that you were the same person who made the very first account and it just makes people confused. '

-Voting Related Problems

'As stated earlier in the keeping track of name segment, it's hard to keep track of who is who. Especially when it comes to voting. Say if you have one account named "Sour Onion Shits" and you make another account called "Paper~Cut~Smurfs". If you never say that you own the Paper~Cut~Smurfs account or the Smurfs account is your new account out of hundreds, people might believe that you're a new user and haven't read the rules yet as it seems you are voting without qualifications. '

-Oc Hell

'If you make a new account and you own some OCS,(like most of the wiki users here do) then you'll probably run into some problems. One problem would be editing your oc without seeming like you're vandalizing or editing without permission. If you own an oc by the name "Asuna Kirito" and you made it on your "Sour Onion Shits" account, then if you edit it on your "Paper~Cut~Smurfs" account it may seem you're vandalizing or doing some other whacko shit. It's also a hassle to go to every one of your OCS and change the owner of the OCS name to a different one, so there is a chance you probably didn't do it. This causes people to report you to staff or cause unnecessary drama because they think you're editing a page that isn't yours. '

-Staff Shit

'If your staff and you continue to make new accounts over and over again, it begins to become a hassle for the other admins and staff members. Every time you make a new account, an admin would have to demote your old account and promote the new one. And the cycle goes on and on and on and on. The staff members could be doing something better than this but they're too busy demoting and promoting. It's also a hassle to change the name on the staff page as well.'

-Punishment????

'Eh. I don't really have any decent punishment ideas for someone if they did this. I feel like anyone who has done this prior to this thread should not receive any type of punishment of shit. Maybe like a DM from a staff member on Discord. Maybe they should get a warning for the first time they do it, and a block for a few days the second time?? Any suggestions?'

-Limiting

'I believe the limit of how many accounts one should have is 3. One doesn't need much more than that. You don't need to change your name one million times and make one million accounts for each and every name change you ever do. 3 accounts should be suitable enough. Maybe 4. However, for an overall name change on the same account, I believe only 2. Redirects can be extremely satanic and annoying. Also wiki only allows people to change their names once before they can't do it for a while due to reasons?? '

'Yeah, that's all I got to say. Feel free to say why you oppose, support or neutral this, though it isn't required. '



It's like 11:30 pm so grammar and shit sucks'. '
