user name mystery - Blue Tracker

#1 - Oct. 17, 2012, 12:07 p.m.

should it alarm me that my user name has changed out of the blue?

I will admit that my old name could have been somewhat questionable, It was Jebediah Ubershiet. I can still log into my account, and i was able to change my password and log in with the new one.

I didn’t get an email notifacation when I changed my password, although the change has taken effect.And I also got no notifacation that my name would be chaged/ was in violation. I just logged in and it was what it is.

It’s actually kind of funny. all the letters from my origional name are there..it’s just been “Rehashed”

The name was changed because of its questionable nature. Thanks for being so understanding about that.

In most situations, the player knows that the name was offensive or at least questionable, so the change isn’t alarming. You did jus fine to post here, and of course if you had submitted a support ticket, a team member could have told you the same thing.

I’ll discuss this is an all-team meeting and see if we want to amend the process at all. (One reason against notification is that it usually erupts into a “That’s not offensive!” argument, where your reasonable approach is refreshingly different!

TL;DR — you’re ok. No account compromise here!
