Ok, I just realized this went through. I'm cracking up right now. Even better is the disclaimer to the side of my posts. Thank you, mods! Made my dreary day that much better.

I guess I'd like to go back to penis_grayson, then.

Congrats

But.... I don't think the Mods will let you change your name once you become tired of consuming human flesh

Good luck with that

I have sent PMs for about a year now attempting to get my name changed simply to "Chuck", since "lotsofdvds" no longer applies. So now I'll try this route since my PMs didn't land where they needed to.

Can a mod/admin/owner person change my username to Chuck... please?

Just wait until all your threads are littered with posts asking "Are you sure its not because you eat people?"

You have over 1000 posts and the name change isn't just a simple modification of your existing name. Therefore, according to our rules, no name change.

I guess the option is to change your name to something else you have lots of.

And the OP is well over 1000, so why is this thread still open?

Exactly.

Heaven forbid we let people change their user names, though. What a cardinal sin. But I guess since one person who used to smoke weed doesn't want to be associated with that, it's okay for him.

I think it's because it was a name associated with an illegal act. So it had to be changed to something allowed under the law, like cannibalism.

The mods and admins have been doing quite a bit of work for you lately and you should know what I am talking about. With respect to what has been causing that work you may have a case for changing your name. But being human we also tend to react to the way people "ask" things of us and you're not getting a good reaction at the moment.

As for why KillerCannabis got a name change to KillerCannibal, is there any confusion as to who he used to be even without the notation in his location (which will be there for at least a month)? Three letters at the end of his name were changed, not even a whole syllable out of a five syllable name. That's the major reason why he was given a change to that name and not to any others that were proposed. And sometimes when someone's name becomes more commented on than their posts we like to help them out, as with Mrs.Nesbit.
