  It may be a good idea if one was able to change their screen-name via one's account settings

  Just curious papi, why do you think that it's a good idea to be able to change your name at anytime? seems like that would make it confusing.

  From time to time someone posts on the board asking how to change their screen-name - it seems as if something certain folks want (plus the ones that want to and don't know how and don't post/ask about-it). Some people may hastily create any ole name when creating an account thinking they may not really use TUSCL much and then decide they wanna use TUSCL more but now want a better name, etc - i.e. seems there's a need for it albeit not a huge one; so it'd be more efficient if one had that capability (of changing one's username). w.r.t. it being abused by trolls: a) there's already an easy way for trolls to post under different names b) a person that changes their name would still have all their TUSCL history under the new-name so it's not as if he would be a completely anonymous troll To mitigate abuse Founder can place a limit on name-changes - e.g. 3 - after that they would need to PM Founder if they wanna change it again and Founder could be aware that is not a troll and someone just wanting to change their name for a non-troll reason - and he can then reset the count to 3 again for those that like changing their name for w/e non-troll reason. w.r.t. it creating confusion - it should be the person's prerogative to change-their/use-whatever name and most people will catch-on pretty-quick anyway and soon forget the old-name (plus limiting it to 3 changes would again mitigate abuse). Just b/c some may abuse it one should not throw-out the PL with the bath water - the more options a user has over his account w/o having to PM Founder for everything the better PL-experience IMHPLO.

  Some names reflect a certain persona, occupation or particular interests that may change over time. The dancers change their names all the time when they want to change their identities, etc. Why not the same for the us mongers, PL's and TUSCL'ers?

  I changed my name by making a new account but it would have been nice to have the reviews from my other account attached to this one. Perhaps to bring in some more money to the site and make sure the people that do it really want it done, a fee could be charged like $9.99 for a name change.

  I kind of would like to change my UN as well. Maybe set it so we can only change it once every six months?
