Timothy Jackson2 said:This is the official thread where you can request a change to your username.

A few quick notes:

1. Requests such as a change from Mark to John or something similar are not allowed. The only exception for a total nickname overhaul is for profiles with fewer than 50 posts. Minor corrections that are
   actually
2. permitted include adjusting capitalization or any slight tweak that does not change the core meaning of your handle. It’s important that your identity remains recognizable. For example:
   
   • to timothy jackson2 or timmy. New nicknames are restricted strictly to letters and spaces. Adding any other symbols isn't allowed (like dashes, dots, asterisks, etc.).
     *A period is only okay if it serves as an initial, provided the period isn't the only thing separating the requested name from the current one
   
   **Additionally, please don't ask for a period if your entire handle or most of it would consist solely of initials
3. Please do not reach out if you have already changed your nickname once before.
   Before submitting a formal request to change your name, please give this a read as well:
   About Usernames (General Recommendations)
4. Before asking for a specific name, make sure it isn't already taken. You can check this by clicking on the Member List. The forum
   does not
5. differentiate between uppercase and lowercase letters in usernames. So, for instance, you can't request
6. Blabla if there is already a user named
   
   • or something similar. Please be patient while we process your request. Don't expect it to be handled instantly—sometimes it might take a couple of weeks to get sorted out... Don't forget that changing your nickname also changes your login credentials. So, if your old username was meerko and your new one is
     mirko
   
   ، when you log in, you will enter
7. mirko
   as your username along with your password.
8. • Once I approve the change—meaning your request meets all the rules mentioned above—you should send a private message to our administrator Nici and make sure to include a link to the post where the change was approved. *You can grab the direct link to any post by clicking the number (the link) in the top right corner of the post itself. Please refrain from posting things like "I don't like my name, can you change it to something else?". Please provide
     one
   
   specific
9. and single suggestion that follows the guidelines listed above. In cases where the name you want is taken, but that user hasn't logged in for years and has very few (or zero) posts, there is a possibility we might approve your request anyway. The administration will decide whether or not to grant such exceptions. The admin team is not obligated
   to provide a detailed explanation for why a request was accepted or denied.
10. How to check if a name is available: 1. Click on Member List at the top of the forum page.
    2. Once there, look for the search tool on the right side. Click it, type your desired name into the field, and hit Search.

    We hope everything is clear and that we can keep this thread running smoothly without too many hiccups...

Note: The administration reserves the right to accept or deny any nickname correction request, even if it falls outside these specific rules.
