How about, Not Supported,because a lot of people get name changes to get away from the ties they've had with that name.

This thread has been merged with another, older thread on the same subject.

If you want people to know who you are, you tell them. Staff has a list already, it doesn't need to be made public. The only reason anyone would ACTUALLY use that list is to search for people that probably don't want to be searched for.

When Risk was an admin he mentioned to me a name change list and read me out all the name changes I had had and who had done them. This was not in 2011 or 2012 so I'm unsure as to where the truth lies in sir's statement or if risk is just creepy and has his own logs.

The suggestion boils down to if users should be able to see what names people had before.
Regardless of if it's a privilege for the higher-ups, I do think that the changes should be made public; be it a list or something in the user profiles, there's no reason for them to be kept private, and it would only help others by having access to this information.
Being able to change your name is a customization, not to "run away from your past", so those against the idea were/are up to no good.
