Does anyone know if there is a way to change your profile name , aside from deleting your account and creating a whole new one ? I havent found a way :confused:
Anyway if an admin or moderator is able to change it, i'd like it changed to [131st]Cmdr Hexen

Not bloody likely. As I told you in the reply to the PM you sent me, name changes are given out less frequently than custom titles. (Also; the fact that you changed the name from what it was in the PM, to this one with another addition makes me wonder if you would be satisfied with this one for all that long...)

you've got 81 posts. Taristin there (aka snipes (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?action=profile;u=26)) changed accounts with more than ten times that amount.
It's really not that big a deal to be set back 81 posts.

Aye aye pal - we all know the story. Give it 2 weeks and it'd be [132nd] Cmdr Hexen.....

Whatever. :doubt: Why are you judging me when you dont know me or anything about me ? Oh, and Taristin, why the hell are you saying ive had my name changed before when i havent ? this is the name i registered under, and i simply want to change it for the purpose of leading an aussie FS2 squadron.

Erk, I wasn't aware they still did humour bypass operations.
Why not just set your alt-text or signature to reflect it? In any case, it's less than trivial to re-register if you need a name change, especially given you've been reggied here shorter than a gnats chuff. The general policy is not to give name changes for anything less than a very good reason (or extreme cronyism), or you'll get people clamouring for a change every 2 weeks or so. Plus, what happens if you leave said squadron (or it folds) a few months down the line? Then that's another change.

Read much? I didn't say that, I said that in your original PM to me:
Hi,
Is there any way for me to change my profile name, besides deleting my account and making a whole new one.
If possible, can you change it for me ?
If you can, change it to 'Cmdr Griffon'
You wanted Cmdr Griffon, and now four days later, you want [131st]Cmdr Hexen.
Now, what I said was "Who is to say that you would want this Hexan name for much longer than 4 more days?"

omg its just a name, its not going to effect who you are, these names are just to id your nickname not your real name, if you wanted that name so badly start a new forum profile, its not that hard ;).
i have 3 nicks, if centrixo is taken i use zuba if zuba is taken then i use sarrik and if that name is taken, i got for a name with a uniqueness to it :nod:.
if you want why i got these names? Here you go.
Centrixo - Centrixo 500, CHAMP or INDY car.
Zuba - Andreas Zuber, GP2 driver.
Sarrik - Arabic and chinese name.
but its just a name, stick with it. i ive done this exact same thing in the past but i go back to these names in the end :P.

He did only ask you know...
Name changes are at the discretion of Admin and are rare, however, your own names' resemblance to Vasudan Admiral may be reason enough to ask in order to avoid confusion. If an admin has already said no, then that's the final word for now, and if you have a problem with that, then I suggest you take it to PM, not the public forum. :)
