Users can no longer change their Display Names themselves.

If you would like to change your display name you may request it in this thread but you must do so by stating your current display name and the name you would like to change it to.

This will ensure some transparency for other posters to check this thread. Limit of 1 change per year.

In order for me to act on this sooner I would suggest you @ me in the post so that I am notified. Please use this thread to make the request rather than PM me.

Lifetime subscribers are allowed to manually change their usernames once every 30 days and are not required to post in this thread but are free to do so.

    Good initiative,. 

    But the main issue is posters opening new accounts - it's hard to control that though and I don't think you should bother trying.  The community will call this out when necessary - most long term posters have a distinctive style.

    I am aware of a number of posters doing this and I let them know privately that this is not acceptable particularly when then alt accounts are used to snipe.

    This is a separate issue to the Change of Display Name one.

    The system defaults to 3 name changes a month which is far too many.

    I recently changed it to 1 per year for regular members.

    I may revert to this if this experiment is too much of a hassle.

    I always thought that everyone could go into anyones profile and see the name changes but apparently this is only for admins and not even mods can see this and the setting is not changeable.

    I made this change for that reason.

    I believe we can all see which existing posters have changed their usernames. I just tested it out on a poster by going into their profile and clicking the below symbol which is next to their name.

    Yeah. That's what I get. When I was testing it out with @Grapeviney we couldn't see that on his mobile.

    Are you using a PC or mobile to do that?

    Found it. Mods can now view Display Name history.

    Members can also view this by clicking on the rewind clock symbol next to a users name in their profile.

    Wait a minute. I tested that out on your account and what did i find:

    Enter the dragon did not have the rewind symbol. Is it safe to assume then there has not been a name change and that if there is no rewind symbol there hasn't been a name change?

    Happy to keep display name

    I saw that too. I'm assuming it dates back to the creation of the new forum software in 2005 which Nasher set up or I'm really Nasher.

    have you ever been in the same room together Clark?

    If there is no rewind symbol that user has not changed names under that account. That does not preclude a user from having a separate account.

    I will remind users that it is against forum rules to have multiple accounts. In the past we haven't always policed this rule but if you are using another account to take potshots at others then we will act if found out. Also don't take pot shots at others whether using another account or not.

    I'd also like to recommend that users avoid using avatars that other long time users have as their profile pic.

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
