announcements

Since when do you have to be 'kind' to have good manners?! It would be better not to have 'enjoy the name,' but 'make a note of this name' because that's the whole point of the announcement. Why would we enjoy a name? We wouldn't. But, we may want to jot down or remember the new name, incase we get confused :rolleyes:

Who said you 'have' to?

Who said you 'have' to?

You did :rolleyes:

Exactly - it's not hard to have some good manners.

I said it's not hard to have them, I didn't say you have to have them.

Simply becuase the title shows whos changed their name and to what. Then what would you put in the post? And it just makes things more polite.

@above I understand the intentions of it, however it just sounds silly.

In what way? It just makes the thread creator look crazy. It would be better for announcement to include "Make note of his new name" or just get rid of the announcing of name changes, because I am sure people would recognise them either with a signature comment or a title message.

I didn't say you have to have them.

I didn't question having to have good manners. I was questioning why you must be kind to have good manners, so your comment makes little sense...

Enjoy your new name = enjoy being called by your new name? I cant see a problem with it at all.

If all you have to post about is what nvr puts in his announcements then the forums really are in trouble.

[reindeer.]

it actually says enjoy the new name, not your, as the announcement is aimed at everyone.
do you not think it sounds slightly strange?

I think it fine, lol.

Because if a member of staff gets a name change and no one but the name changer is aware of it this could cause problems.

If they do a specific job around the forum and need to be contacted alot or easily recognised then they are not very helpfull if no one knows who they are.

Say if i got a name change, there would be someone whos going to go ' WHos the new guy in red?? I ent seen im in zeh announcements or anfink'. Then you would have half a thread of people going ' Tis Yoshi' yeah ' Yoshi derr ' and by the end of that you would have an argument becuase someone called the other person a derr becuase they where not sure on who the person was.

And other obvious reasons.
