Hello HF,
First of I want to start by saying that this idea was brought to my attention on another forum where you could take a perma banned members name. And this might be a good idea for upgraded members to take a name that someone else wants but can't have. Regardless of the account status.
Why?:
Well, there are many good names and OG names on HF. Let's consider that Bob saw a user with a name they have had their eyes on and wants priority on that name. But say there were other members with their eyes on it too just waiting for the account to be closed or such. Well, it would be first come first serve. Or maybe even better a system where the person who puts a priority on it first gets it first? I don't see the harm in it. Whatever method Omni thinks is better.
But then we need to consider that members have an OG name but they want to change to another OG name. That would be fine considering that they haven't had too many or taken too many names. Perhaps maybe limitations and a possible list of available names would be handy?
That's just my perspective on it but if we made this to perhaps a upgraded member ub3r/l33t it doesn't matter where they can have first pick or a priority list to where if they want it they would just have to visit a certain page like this:
https://hackforums.net/names.php
https://hackforums.net/usernames.php
And a list for priority of who gets it first. Consider this a waiting list per say where they have a waiting list for certain usernames that are waiting for it to be available and if it's taken it could show a message like
Or something like that. And so we come to the part where they want to take a name and they are directed to:
https://hackforums.net/takename.php
Or something like that and they are shown a form where they enter the name or something of the username they want. And it can determine weather the name is taken, already used, or is available. It could query that if the name is taken but by an active member it would say so or if the name is available it could show a popup box like
"Are you sure you want to take this name?"
So when they take the name it's theirs for aslong as they want.
Sorry if this threads a mess but this was done in sort of a rush and is a temporary idea. Feel free to vent your thoughts on this idea I am open to your comments and opinions on my idea.
Thanks for reading this!
