Allow users to change names or not?

[SOL-R]

Hi,

Do you allow users to change their names on your board?

If so......
.. what effect does changing names have on the board from a technical sense.
IE Does the board have to be re-indexed if the person has a lot of posts?

If you don't allow it ...................

..Why not?

I ask this because we get people that want to change their names all the time. I thought someone told me if they have a fair amount of posts you have to re-build the indexes for the search feature to operate correctly?

Thanks for you input~!

Changing a username is a simple edit in there options through the ACP. And at this point I do not allow it. It becomes to much of a hassle for me as an admin. The only time I did when was I used vBPlaza, but that hack is no more.

My visitors LOVED it when it was part of vBPlaza.

Changing names never resulted in problems.
