Allow Multiple Username Changes In Chess.com

As a user of Chess.com, it can be frustrating when you realize that you've made a mistake in your username and can't change it. While some platforms do allow you to change your username, they often limit the number of times you can do so.

We believe that users should be given the freedom to change their usernames as many times as they want. After all, we are all human and mistakes happen. Additionally, as our interests and personalities change, we may want to update our username to reflect these changes.

By allowing users to change their usernames more than once, Chess.Com can create a more inclusive and user-friendly environment. Users will be able to express themselves more freely, without the fear of being stuck with a username they no longer identify with.

We urge Chess.com to consider this change and provide users with more flexibility in their username choices. Let's work together to create a more dynamic and accommodating online community.

Thanks

I changed my username a 3rd time. First it was just "endgamestudy", then I changed it to "endgamestudier" shortly after creating my account. Recently, I requested that I could change it once more to what it is now, just send in a support ticket. Maybe a solution would be to allow you to only change a certain number of characters each time, this way people you know wouldn't be confused as easily if that's what they're afraid of. This way you could fix a typo and everyone would still know who you are.

To be part of a community, one usually has to be known and recognized. It is very nice to go somewhere and to be recognized for your positive accomplishments. It is nice to recognize friendly people.

If people change their names every day or week, they can't be easily recognized.

I like seeing certain personalities here on the forum day after day. Many of them add thoughtful comments that occasionally have something to do with chess.

I believe that others are here mostly to disrupt the community. I think that they should be removed. As a moderator, the job becomes that much harder when everyone has a new name.

Who are the people who most want to change their names? The disruptors.

/ I have no problem with people emailing support to fix spelling mistakes.

I think you should be able to change your name twice then you have to get permission from a moderator if you have a typo

You offended the whole world with that 'C' in .Com

It will devalue databasing chess.com games for the try hards.

I recognize player from their avatars instead of name. Change the name should not be a big problem in the chesscom databases.

My answer is no.

After how many games did you realize you mispelled your own name? A 100.000? OMG

I don't think moderation is the issue here, the site had no trouble automuting me for 1 day for a keyword filter despite having changed my username recently.

Maybe once a year, or once every few months would be doable?

would be good, happy with my username atm tho
