For regular name changes make it cost some monies  :evil:

Against argonath rules...
Also, its a bad idea, coz things aint cheap already.

Or limit name changes to once every few days or so. Shouldn't be too hard to implement that, and it reduces the number of name changes a user can make. If someone does change nicks to something unrecognizable, they usually tell you that they changed their name, and if not, just ask.

How is that at all against the rules? What Aldo suggested is EXACTLY what SA:MP does...

Why charge non-regulars and not regulars. In argonath, a regular is treated same as non-regular.
Same rules applies to all.
Read rules carefully

Simple fix for the abusers
Add a command to allow admins to allow it for players to add group/clan tag for free

I guess Aldo meant "regular" as in frequent name changes by people.
I think SA:MP charges like $10k per name change at their City Hall.

You don't get the money...

@Legend: I never said to charge one person and not the other.

Yea, I know - that wasn't to you, think there was a misunderstanding above.

[sandisk125]

yes, you get the money back, this bug is very known, try...

Then you should be giving your money to the admins and reporting it. Knowingly abusing such a bug and not reporting it can lead to a ban.

*Bump*

I think this should be implemented, even if it's only activated by admins. Users creating countless numbers of accounts in the server's database only builds it larger with unused accounts, taking more time for the server to access and read information from it.

Unsure how it is progressing, but hopefully it can be made possible. Someone did trial this last year I think, but apparently it wasn't very reliable on working without getting bugs.
People shouldn't be changing their name on a weekly basis, of course, but I think the majority were in favour of this?

It is not hard to script,
We did have it before, but it was bugged and i was lazy to fix it...so i removed it:D

I'll be working on it. It'll be tested thoroughly before it's uploaded. Right now, it's being added as a level 3 admin command. There will be a /c namehistory [nick/id] command to see a user's previous nicks. Sound good to everyone?

(I'll be scripting this as the idea changes, so until a decision is made as to how to do this, this'll probably change too)

That sounds like a very good way of giving this a shot.

Alright, awesome guys, thanks! Let us know when it's completed. I need to change my name to remove a tag yet, but I think I'll wait and use the command. I have nothing worth saving, but no reason to clog up the database with useless duplicate accounts!
