DPLogin Name Deletion Time

[jitspoe]

Currently there is a 32 day period before you can delete a name that you've registered.  I've done this primarily to prevent abuse and to make it harder for griefers to hide their identity, but also to encourage players to stick with one name and not constantly change it.  I'm still getting a lot of requests for name deletions.  I'm wondering if the time should be lowered, or perhaps just have a clear warning that names can't be removed for 32 days on the form to add names.

just have a clear warning that names can't be removed for 32 days on the form to add names.

That shoiuld be all that is required.

^^ agreed...  I mean they get 10!!! That's certainly enough... I say you put the warning, and do not take any name deletion requests at all... Out of the 10, they'll certainly have one they could stick with for 32 days before deleting them.

I agree there shouldnt even be a vote on this - most poeple only use about 4 names altgoher but they just add the names for the sake of it. theyll have to wait - its only 32 days.

When they come to you asking for a name deletion just say "no" and tell them to wait 32 days.

32 days, to me, should be more than sufficient

How about you delete names that are meant to impersonate someone else? Such as hellhound with toM|vendett4 and 0lbaid etc etc

Great.

Back on topic, a bit of info if you like, but don't lower it, the original reasoning is the right way to keep things.

That issue has already been dealt with and is not what this topic is about.

agreed people need patience.

I voted it should be lowered, but in conjunction I still think we should have a master username that can't ever be deleted, it prevents people from completely disappearing and re-emerging.

Thats what I was thinking when I was looking at the list and saw I could delete the first name.

The problem with that is the first name somebody registers isn't always the name they go by.  It may also cause people to take more drastic measures, like multi-accounting, to hide their identity.

i say that its  fine as it is

[Rick]

Its "no" from me

[Cameron]

[Xena]

no, a lot of people will abuse it if it was lowered...

[UnRateD]

i think its fine atm - if anything the time should be made longer rather than lower.

Why is that?
