It may have been worth reading the name changing rules before getting a name that is now unchangeable for an entire year, the exceptions being events where you can have a name change, like Halloween.

The rules seem a little archaic.

And yet that is only because the topic itself is old, and hasn't been edited recently. The rules still apply, or we'd all be allowed unrecognisable name changes every day if we wanted to.

A year is still kindof a long time- I'm on mobile so it's a pain to check but wasn't it shorter, or had a reversal period, or something?

I guess I just don't understand why it's such a long wait, and moreover why it's the same long wait for a Type 1 (unrecognizable) and Type 2 (still recognizable). Are we secretly being flooded with namechange requests or something behind the scenes? I know it's not a hard or time consuming task for anyone with ACP access.

If nothing else, please consider this a formal petition to change the duration of the wait for Type 2 at least.

I second Ven's idea. Maybe just half it to 6 months for a Type 2 change. But yes, the idea of the limitation to Type 1 / 2 changes is making people force keeping their names for a longer time and become loyal to their names, and also making them think if they really want a name change. Heck, I've thought of a name change after the ban to clean up with all bad happenings before, but I'm so loyal to being Shroom that I refrain from that.

So, just try to cotton up with being PW and you're fine.

And good job on updating the lists.

1 star: (0 - 5.75 in LDC) These levels need a lot of work. They're totally un-elaborated, and/or inherently flawed due to things like cutoff or enemy spam, or they're untested and there are too many bugs gameplay-wise, in short: Many many things went wrong in such a level.

2 stars: (6 - 9.75) These levels are not terrible, but poor. They're too short, lack scenery or they have errors and/or bugs but it's still barely enjoyable. Again, spend more effort and try to do better. (if it's your first level that I rate two stars, it's not bad. There's a long way you can still go)

3 stars: (10 - 12.75) These levels are about mediocre. They may be still a little bit short, the gameplay is fine but not very original and graphics are also solid, but not breath-taking. Try to keep improving!

4 stars: (13 - 15) These levels are nice, but not the best. Effort has been put into them, there can some professionality be seen in gameplay and graphics, they're a nice experience to play, but there are still things you can do to make it even better. Try to go the extra mile!

5 stars: (15.25 - 20) These are really great levels, those which, as said, I would give more than 15 in an LDC. These suffice many high requirements, and it already goes into subtleties if you want to make them better. These levels are successful all around. Bravo.

These are just general principles I try to follow when rating. Sometimes I don't leave a further comment when rating, most times I do, if you have questions about it, feel free to ask further.

To be honest I'm just really stressed today. I probably wouldn't have replied so sharply if it were another day or time even.
I've already put serious thought into the idea of shortening the time for type 2 name changes, check staff chat maybe/maybe not.

Name Changes: FAQWhat is a name change?
It changes your username. Duh.

Will my precious postcount be lost?
No, you will keep your postcount.

So what do I have to do to get a name change?
PM a global moderator (someone with a green name - currently or ).

Note: REVERSAL IS NOT ALLOWED ANYMORE. If you have your change, it stays. For types 1 and 2, you MUST give a valid reason for your name change, otherwise you won't get one.

Type 1 Name ChangesType 2 Name ChangesType 3 Name Changes A type 1 name change is only allowed once a year, and you can't get a Type 2 change until after the year is up. You can only get another Type 1 if you have a good reason for it. If you truly can't recognize a user again by looking at his old and his new username, this is a type 1.

Example: lolguy1337 -> MasterOfDisaster These are occuring if you can still recognize the username. Like Type 1, these are allowed once per year.

Example: lolguy1337 -> lolboy1337 These are allowed unlimited times in your forum life. You can change or remove numbers/letters - but don't abuse this right.

Example: lolguy1337 -> lolguy / lolguy666

Karyete: Oooh it's you? Hello. Feel free to drop this right now. You're going to make yourself look like an idiot.

Karyete: You're not getting any apology, especially after now.
