what do we REALLy think of namce chnagers and WHY do we let it go on>

[DualCycloneCod]

becuase ther are a lot around today too scared to post what they think,
"whodoyouthinkyouare" is one

whya re you so scaredy waredy?

I think you need to keep the name chaning facility for people who have a problem and want to remain anonymous.

But agree about changing your name to 'have a go' or voice an opinion, if you've got something valid to say then you shouldn't want to hide behind a false name!

I tried namechanging for a delicate subject and then changed back to usual name and 'outed' myself the next day giving an update to the topic
Can unserstand why some people want to change though.
Aren't you on something like your 10gth rein-cod-nation?

oh god i havent changed for eyars
i jsut say it.

i don't give a toss. On the whole name changers are harmless enough.

I change my name when I come up with a better one - I get bored easily

but i never change to voice an opinion that others might not agree with. I'm not scared of anyone

I've namechanged a few times since joining in December but I think I do it because I fancy a change, no malicious intent. Just feels like a new outfit. I have a new one in mind actually.

oops, forgot to answer op

I don't care of they change their names.

ive never name changed

i get annoyed when people expect me to know who they are tho

also whats annoying is thrads such as "ive changed my name! come and see!"

NO I MEAN MALICIOUSLY YOU NOBOOS!

I changed my name just because I thought of one that was good but it wasn't really me so I changed back. I might change again. I'm changeable. But not to say rude things or anything, I'm consistently polite. Thank you.

give an example then! with a link.

maliciously - i dont pay attention

maliciously name changing is BAAAAAAAD
but how can you police it?

Do you envisage a questionnaire?

1. What are the purposes for your namechange?
2. Is it your intention to be nasty to an established poster?
3. Does your intended namechange have any humour value?
4. Will your potential new name upset cod?

have it stamped with an APPROVED or a DENIED stamp?

and don't call people nobboes, they don't always appreciate it

I'd love to change my name - I'm not hassled at all these days; things are positively mellow around here. It was just how I was feeling the time I first posted. BUT if I change, the handful of people who do recognise me wouldn't anymore and I'd just be a "newbie" (god I hate that word) all over again.
Re changing over contentious/embarrassing topics - if no-one knows who you are in RL, what's the point? It's not like we're having a chat in the village pub.

If it's done maliciously then I think MN should give them one warning adn then out.

What's been happening today then?

Bah, the search facility is broken and I can't search for whodoyouthinkyouare to see how bad they have been.

let's round them up and hound them out

round and hound

i wouildnt change my name to be malicious. if i have an opinion i voice it, but not if its going to hurt someones feelings

those who do are nasty (if htey are aware someone will be hurt) or cowards (prob cant back up their opinion)

I* cahneged myt mane a couple of times.

Peolpe have accused me of trolling

I couldn;t give a monkey's toss

Hassled you could be nolongerhassledparticulary?

Who does it maliciously? How do you know?

I'm in with the round and hound! Can we use sticks with pointy ends? Can we wear a vigilante outfit?

lol sheik. Your typing is making me laugh today. Right, must get on.

I was envisaging cowgirls and lassoes (spelling?) and riding horses but, you know, I can do pointy sticks if you like.

I have had a bad morning at work, where I have had to type properly, as I have been wrting letters to nobby clients.

It takes it out of me, it doos
