Title: Nickname Changes
Post by: Vash on April 27, 2008, 09:25:26 pm
Apparently something went down yesterday regarding nickname changes and people changing their nicknames.

I'm not 100% sure what really happened, though Mammy was attempting to explain it to me.

I took a moment to talk with Helios, we're going to allow free nickname changes for the next 24 hours or so. You should take this time period to change your name to what it you want it to be. Please do not abuse this freedom! We're trying to be nice here.

I'm not entirely sure what Mammy did in regards to the Shop and the Shop item. I'll have to speak with him at a later date about that.

However the Shop system will be scrapped during the SMF 2.0 upgrade, as it would take a lot of effort to rebuild an addon that serves no real purpose for ZFGC. All SMF addon's will have to be rebuilt for the most part anyway, so if we do find a purpose for the shop in one way or another, aspects of it will probably be added back in.

Have fun and sorry about the lack of consistency and continuity regarding the subject of Nickname Changes.

So, what's going to happen with Spam?

Since we need the spam key and all to see it.

And if I ever wanted to change my name back, how would I do so? Could I just PM a ModMin?

SMF 2.0 has a lot of nice features regarding board access, post counts and member groups.. check them out. :)

I believe mods/admins want to make a name changing policy.

And keep this formula a secret, or people will post like rapists.

If you want to see SMF 2.0 in action, just head over to The Void (http://void.yudia.net), register an account, and talk with us.  We now use SMF 2.0, so no shop and its all a tad different from this.  Its nice though(especially the administration and moderation centers).

At our forums, we found that the shop was unnecesary and it wasnt that big of a deal.

Stop advertising here >_>


Anyways so how are we going to work around that? I know some people here don't even want to view the spam boards and they don't want spam posts in the recent posts box.

If you want spam rites, PM a ModMin?

What else could we do?

I believe smf 2.0 has an ignore boards feature built in, we'd probably have spam set as being ignored by default and you can unignore it yourself.

I'm not sure, but thats sounds like one of the upgrades that they put in.  if not, it does have(as im sure that this one does too) membergroup privileges.
