Username change history.

I think our forums should have a username change history, so that if someone's changes their username, its easier to track down who has been doing what. And an example, if someone has been not following the forum rules, and they change their username to not get caught, the Administrator can see their username history, track them and can just ban the member. ....But what do you think?

We can anyways add in the comment box that.

XYZ username changed to abc [ Date] & whatever information you want.

Doesn't help if the user is allowed to edit the username themselves.

Think of a forum like this, it would help a lot in keeping track of people.

I support!

Thanks for all those votes! We need more!

I support the idea. I feel it should be okay if every user can view the username change logs. Either that or hold a topic that you update if someone has changed their username. Either way I feel this idea should be implemented.

I only let admins change usernames and only once. And we always post it in a special thread for it. It can get really confusing if members could do it several times even if there was a history.

This must be a feature!

Unless I'm missing the point here, which is likely possible lol. There's an option to "disallow" users from changing their username.
I'll wait for clarification before i vote .

Voted yes
I like this idea

This is great for security!

Bumpety bump..

voted yes as it would be a good feature to keep track of peoples history

Totally agree with LH Justin, also voted yes.

Nice idea, my vote is yes

I think that its better not to allow people to change their usernames and that they must contact an Admin wich will be the person that will change their nick, and write that change into a hidden text field...(just like is setted on the Forumotion Support forums)

Im not going to vote because, from my point of view, this wouldnt be necessary, because this can be done manually.

yes, please!

voted yes
let adminstrator or moderators can view that list.

I know on other forums that when you look at a member's profile there is a button/link to show the history of your changes to your username.

I think this would be a great option for Forumotion forum.  I know that this would only work on forums that allow members to change their usernames in their profiles.

Sounds like a good option to me. Voted yes.

Ah, like on IPB forums?
Sure, why not... YES!   

Yes, like IPB boards.

Voted yes! Great idea!
