    Solved USername Changes

    Post by Erosaf August 4th 2013, 3:23 am

    Is there a way to set this up on a forum so that ALL username changes that members do must be accepted by staff of the site? I just activated a user account only to have them change their name and troll us as a result. Would like to be able to stop them from doing such a thing.

    Sorry you can't allow members to change their username at will but have staff approve of the change.

    Alternative would be to disable username changes by ACP --> Users and Groups --> User Options --> Allow users to change their username --> Then create a thread like this:

    https://help.forumotion.com/t100698-want-a-username-change

    Now admins can take the persons username change request that they've posted and change it in the ACP.

    thank you for that.... and one other question which that thread you linked me to brought up...
    Just where is the function that gives warnings to members? I've never been able to find it...

    This support forum operates a system called warning bars.

    If you scroll down you'll see a whole section detailing how to create a warning system using warning bars.
