Remove the requirement of 10 messages to change your username

[a1a1]

I don't see any point in this restriction. Some people might want their name here to be their minecraft username so they can be found here, but don't want to post 10 things only for that. Is there any reason for this?

Most of us have thousands of messsages. Pretty sure we’re all gonna disagree because this doesnt effect us at ALL.

You'll get 10 messages quickly, so I don't agree.

 

[Gainfullterror]

Sure I guess. It won't affect that many members, but sure. I don't see a reason not to.

 

[MarcoPlayzz]

10 messages is not hard to obtain, and many of the people already did more than 10 messages. This would only be for the new people.

This isn't a huge issue, but it's slightly inconvenient sometimes and I don't see any reason not to change this. You can only change your name once a month so it's not like people will spam name changes (what would that even achieve, clearly I DONT want to be annoying, otherwise I'd just post some useless messages somewhere).

No, it's impossible when you don't want to post something anyways. It is against the forum rules to make a post only to get the message count up.

No like farming/message farming

But, why should you change your name if you don't want to post messages on the forums?

Well, its really easy to get 10 messages. Just go into suggestions, post a reply on the suggestion, repeat 10x and make sure your being, kind, and not breaking the rules! <3

Nah I think 10 is a good amount

 

[Cyqni]

Why though? Most people get 10 messages in less than 4-5 days after joining, so just choose the right name when you sign in and you'll have no problem.

Why should you need any amount of messages? What's the point of that rule?

I have seen multiple people getting confused about this on the forum and on discord. It's slightly inconvenient for some people and I don't see any reason for this. So unless there is something I'm missing, it would be best to just remove this useless rule.

10 messages is not that much and there I don't really see a reason for you to change your name. If you really want to change it 10 messages isn't that hard just go to 10 different threads and state your opinion

it isn't specifically message farming if you do it to get your posts up they could be completely legitimate posts
like this 1
or the 1 above this 1
or the 1 above that 1
etc.

As long as they are completely legitimate posts they are fine
and 10 aren't that many

contradictory quote that I can't directly quote since it isn't a quote (the 9th reply to this thread)

though they may say that @RemiO05's logic can still apply here
if you want to change it to your minecraft name so people can find you, why would you want to do that if you aren't likely to be noticed since you have never posted

If anything I think this encourages members to give their opinions just a bit

Yes, that's what I mean!

I don’t see a point to it. However, I don’t see any issue easily obtaining 10 messages (at least once you just join the forums). I recommend starting in the “Suggestions”, “Introductions”, or even your favorite gamemode’s category (for me it’s “Eggwars”).

Just remember not to reply to threads that have been dead for over 2 weeks and/or farm messages! ^-^
