I think it would be best if you could set a rule...so that users could only change their usernames once a month themselves...otherwise...on my boards for example...a user could change their name...to spam a user or flame a user...then go back and say it wasn't them much easier then re-registering a new account.

Also...a question for all of you. Do you think we should allow the users to change their username at will like this...or are we only asking for trouble?

although i get a few requests for username changes, i wouldn't use such a hack.. allowing members to change their usernames would and can interfere with building a tighter knit community group of users on my forums ... members are use to particular usernames and well it wouldn't be the same

then you might also have those who like to imitate with similar spelt usernames i.e. how about VirtueTechi
