i think its fine atm - if anything the time should be made longer rather than lower.
Wtf?  Next time up will probably 64 days, want to wait 2 months to delete "iamanidiot" if you registered it for fun?

there are 10 names - ur likely to hvae what, like three fun names. that leaves seven. and i dont actually mean it should be made longer what i mean is that if is going to be changed out of either lower or higher, then higher is the better option. although i personally think its fine atm.

Maybe Jits should implement a system to where is you don't use a registered name in a given period of time, it expires and goes back in to the name pool......

It's not that big a deal, but it would be nice if it was lowered, but only to the point where people can't abuse it.

20 days, perhaps?

Crap, using up 10 names in a month? you either are really nutty or you need to really start thinking your names out instead of being so obsessive compulsive. That is a name every 3 days, how can you get much enjoyment out of a name if you only use it for 3 or less days? The only thing i can think a person would be doing with that many name changes is going into games making obnoxious names and causing problems. Find a name, use it, protect it. I really don't even see why we need 10? why not 5.. I say the current rules are lenient enough why make it more so?

Personally, I need at least 10 to protect my name!

iamapirate
i_am_a_pirate
1amapirate
1amp1rate
1_am_a_p1rate
1_am_a_pirate
iamap1rate
i_am_a_p1rate
iamapir4te
i_am_a_pir4te
1amapir4te
iamapir@te
plus all the clan versions (>>AERO<<iamapirate, etc.)

the list goes on...


back on topic: Just put the warning on when they add a name that their name will be on for 32 days until you can delete it...

Uhm... No you don't?

When you register a new name using characters such as "_" and "@" It won't read them.

For example:
iamapirate AND i_am_a_pirate are the same exact thing when you register it like that, am I correct?
It won't read the characters. It only reads numbers and letters.

YEA

Also, I think, The way it's setup right now is just fine.

Capo, you are correct.  Pirate, no one wants to spoof your name.

How about this.  Start at, say, 14 days.  Then add a week to that every month till you eventually disable deleting names.  And when people come to you whining about changing their name, just say "no".  :D
