Username Changes <3

Hello fellow ribblrs! I’ve been thinking about making this post for a while as this honestly just kinda annoys me :sweat_smile: as a teen finding myself and finding a name that fits my identity I uh often kinda change that a lot :skull: and usually my username, however the limit prevents me from doing so and just gets on my nerves, other times I just like changing it up but now I cant do so :person_shrugging: in my honest opinion I feel like there is no point to a username change limit? it would be really cool if y’all could change that :3 @Ribblr
sincerely,
Jynx <3

I agree!!! Im stuck with an old username i absolutely hate, i dont see why there should be a limit.

Personally, I understand the fact that there is a limit (as it’s ribblr’s job to monitor our profiles and such), but I don’t see why the limit needs to last….forever. If someone changes their username a lot, then there could be a cooldown opposed to just….reaching the overall limit :sob:

if it helps, you dont have to name yourself directly in your username. you could always pick an aspect of you that never changes and use that. for example, I’m Sleepy!!

I agree, I’ve wanted to change my username for a while, but obviously can’t :skull:. I think it should have a cool down like instagram or discord where it says ā€œoriginally known as [their old/previous username]ā€ yk?
I know some others agree as well (cough @BerriesAndCr34m).
Ribblr, please make this happen.

I mean it kinda makes sense, they don’t want everybody changing their user every day, (that’d get confusing for everyone) I’d personally have a hard time keeping track of who people were

I feel like its ok. I dont think it should be you can never change it again maybe only twice every 6 months cos i feel like other wise it will get really confusing as to whos who

y’all do make good points, also a lot of ppl make posts when they change their usernames so maybe that could help with the confusion?

And it could be like discord where it says ā€œoriginally know asā€ on our profiles. That would help with the confusion?

Yes, I totally agree. I remember trying to change my username one more time and it wouldn’t let me because I’ve done it one too many times​:sob:. Now im stuck with this one which is :sparkles:fun​:sparkles: - I hte this username so much now

I don’t know for sure but I think the limit on how many times you can change your username are in place due to trying to protect this site from spammers.

If you really don’t like your username you can always DM Ribblr, and ask them if they will allow you to change it again. Be prepared to give them a good reason as to why you want to change it though

Yeah. I gave them a good reason on why my first name needed to be changed and they changed it without a fuss!!

I’ve not done it myself yet. Another craft site I’m on allows 3 name changes. I d guess Ribblr’s. Policy is similar

Personallh think if they do this there should be a part of the profile where we can see previous usernames so I know who the heck everyone is after they change their users

I think that is reasonable! What about when i’m 80 years old and I don’t want to be a Forest Frog?

Wait, what if ribblr can just set a specific limit for when you change your username? Like once you change it and you wanna change it again, you’ll have to wait 3-6 more months to be able to change it again. Idk, I tried to make it make sense >^<
