But this also gives person a the chance to redeem himself by giving him an incentive to show them that he's changed. I've known a lot of scammers and cheaters in my 5 years here, but once I found that they are able and willing to change my past views of them changed for the better.

While I know this may not be true for everyone, I think it allows people a chance to put an end to their previous quarrels. Its kind of similar to how it is in the real world; If you do something bad it will stain your record. However, if you can show that you have changed from your past ways there are some willing to forgo your past endeavors.

It may also allow the community to be more willing to forgive and they now have to chance to confront others and settle things through discussions.



And even then, this does not occur very frequently keep in mind. For someone to do something truly unruly and get a name change to hide from that past is a very small percentage of people. Admins will tell you that most people get name changes for the fun of it, and not to run or hide like the users many of you are trying to protect.

Any other the complaints with this? Suggestions?
