      @thomashiatt What's weird is that you're active in a forum for a game you don't play

                So I randomly stumbled upon this again, because someone upvoted me and I got a notification.
                I like how we were here, every non-moderator kind of agreed with my initial take on this, and the next thing that happens was Gieb's post with making the rule even more strict. As the moderators keep saying they are open to feedback and adjusting things, I'd like to put this back into memory. Mainly because, even though this is 1 year old, this topic is still very annoying.

                  May I then correct your memory if you wish to bring it back up and by doing so also claim incorrect things.

                    Maybe I went a bit over the top with my comment, but I feel the core was correct. The initial point of this topic was declined, and while feedback is taken into account (otherwise we would have longer rename periods), it still, at the very least in this topic, cant be seen in the resulting rule change regarding this

                      Don't confuse lack of opposing opinions as absolute stance for your arguments. The majority of people don't participate in these kind of discussions. I am
                      completely against changing names because I see no value for the community as a whole. I personally find it is annoying to but be able to recognize people. But I get that some people want it every now and then... but that might be sufficient like one a year in my opinion.

                      Not much has changed, but they live underwater
                      And your great-great-great-granddaughter
                      Is playin' FAF, playin' FAF"

                        Yeah I know and recognize that posting my stuff here does not mean this HAS to be the outcome of something. Regardless, the rename thread is the perfect example of people discussing here to change / lower the rule, and suddenly it gets more strict and then SLIGHTLY less strict after, once again, huge backlash while not addressing the core issues. It is the way FAF wants to have the rules which is a big issue.
                        Very broad and very easy to use rules. Sounds good on paper, but is bad when being applied.

                        The fact that you dont get why "we" want a faster rename period just shows that you dont play this game usually / in tourneys.
