account rename

Mark Sir Link · #1 03-10-2009, 07:45 AM

I, and I would guess others with spaces in their account names would appreciate a free account rename.

For text based commands used in events and other activities on servers, using them on me becomes a chore, especially for those who are unaware of how to do so (adding quotes).

It has also made things difficult on things like the Testbed server, since it seems near impossible to correctly give read/write rights to directories with spaces in the names.

They should replace all accounts with space with a underscore (_<-- this thing)
or allow them to rename their accounts. Renaming would most likely be the more preferred method. Though its rare finding someone with a space in their names these days, most of you quit

I agree.

wouldn't bother me in the least if he says no, I'm sure the people that would have an easier time if this was done might be a little disappointed

Though It wouldn't be hard replacing spaces with underscores ( _ )

When getting an account rename, it would mess up many servers, and his stats would be reset almost everywhere.

They've got more important things to do, customer support usually isn't one of them.

If it's such a problem, it might be a good idea, but it might also be more difficult than it seems. But thats' giving the benefit of the doubt.
