I personally don't agree but that is only because I have not first handedly witnessed the the reason this is being put into play. I would like to add a second suggestion, which is to require an email confimation to change a username rather than locking it out completely. This is because I know that myself and many others really appreciate the ability to change usernames... Please let me know

I thought in his thread he stated that it would only lock you from changing your username for 1 week. Correct me if I'm wrong though.

You can reset the password with the email?

Wait but locking it for only a week... how would that help? someone who compromises the account would just have to be patient then...

I think that you did not read the part the Omniscient say "locking the username change for one week"

I think the idea is good to protect theft...though probably a bit to exaggerated. Simply disable the feature for x amount of time if IP changes, is a good idea.

Its a 1 week lock out, with the possibility of maybe optional perm lockout if the user elects for that. (Member suggestion)

The logic behind Omnis consideration is sound. 1 week should give the original account holder ample time to address the account problem.

This also prevents the account jacker from changing names to mimic or clone other more trusted user names to scam.
