    I doubt Russ will close one account so you can open another account. What will happen with its games? Will they too disappear? No, I don't Russ will do such a thing.

    Therefore some people get banned, when we (or mods) discover they have more account than one.
    I know of several cases in which a person abandoned one account and started a new one with Russ' knowledge and approval, for various reasons. I doubt he'd be thrilled if lots of people would start doing it without good reasons, though.

    Actually, in my situation, I get a lot of flack for the name "Very Rusty".

    Probably rightfully so. I thought it was a great name when I thought of it, after a 10 year absence from chess.

    If I still feel strongly about it when my time is up to re-subscribe my membership, I will drop Russ a note and inquire.

    Don't get me wrong... I too there would be a way to change ones name to a better well thought one if needed. But I also see the problems with it, how it can be used in other purposes than intended.

    I refer to 3(a) that says in its letters that it can't be done. But I also see that people are doing it. With Russ permission and help. And without Russ' approval.

    I have proposed a solution that can fix the problem of an ill-chosen name.

    Extra-fee membership option? I'd pay to get mine changed legally and keep the stats.

    A lot of these sites, like bank loans and credit cards, have different options at different prices. We already have guest (free) and subscriber ($30), why not premium ($40) as well? Offer $10 worth of extras, such as ability to change name, multiple avatars, a customisable MyHome page.

    Maybe Russ doesn't like you as much as he does Freddie2008!!!!! 😛

    Has Russ appointed you as his spokesperson?

    The question was not directed to you, are you a spokesperson for adram?

    If you want an agrument with me, just say so! Don't answer questions directed to someone else. I guess I will leave it at that, you don't want to know what I had said 😉 !!!

    Not that I am aware of, Why would you think that?

    Freddie2008 has been able to change his name twice.

    MissOleum, a moderator, would like to change hers, has requested this, been refused but not been told why it cannot be done.

    From this I deduce that Russ likes Freddie2008 more than he likes MissOleum.

    How can you say that, without knowing the full story from both sides?

    So what you are saying actually, is Russ treats people who are paying the same money differently?
