I don't think a limit should be implemented - rather, have an administrator or mod confirm the name change. If you're spamming name changes, they'd be able to notice.

Add 'nickname' entry to the user database and make FFR display whatever is inside nickname instead of username

This would be bad. Think of the possibilities to spam and flame threads with another name. I think everyone should be obligated to one name change. Seeing as everyone wants one.

Like I said, have an administrator or mod confirm it before the change takes place.

Why?

Re: Quit making alts, ppl!

It does absolutely no harm to have multiple accounts. Stop playing for ranks to be better than everyone else and play for personal accomplishments through your PA on songs, etc.

Why?

Because I, like many other people, would like to change my username.

No. We have ranks so we can keep records of everyone's accomplishments.

We keep the ranks.
We find a way to get rid of hostless alts.
We add a new username change feature. (For limited use only)

That should just about sum everything up.

Because I, like many other people, would like to change my username.

nuclearsamurai is a badass name I don't see why you would want to change that lol but whatever..

Re: Quit making alts, ppl!

I never said to get rid of the ranks. I said stop using the ranks as the form of improving your scores and play for personal accomplishments. That way, you won't have to complain about people creating alternate accounts to knock you down ever so slightly each time they get a better score than you.

Right. I never complained about alternate accounts that are used to get sick scores on songs like Death Piano or Revolutionary Etude to raise the bar on the FFR ranks, and to be honest I hardly care because it only motivated me to do better so why do you think alts are being made to do that?

Improving ranks isn't a personal accomplishment? Competition through ranks is what drives me the most to get better. It's just unfair to see worse results than deserved because half of FFR decided to make an alt and sup whatever score I got.

Re: Quit making alts, ppl!

All I have to say is that ranks have a purpose (look up the definition of "rank") and by creating alts for scoring, it defeats that purpose. For some, playing for personal accomplishment doesn't provide much solace - otherwise, why should ranks exist at all if they don't provide a true representation of its purpose?

Rather than suggest ways to comfort oneself into living with the issue, it's more sensible to have ranks that represent what they're supposed to represent: a measure of skill in contrast to another person. And this measure is highly distorted due to many alts who play for scoring. You are one person. Not two or three or ten persons.

Realistically, it's probably a difficult issue to tackle however...
