You think it got what it takes to be..?.


God forbid you send me one of those I was checking for cool gamers and saw you messages too, I will scream to the top of my lungs and smash this damn screen/BlackBerry to pieces! You've been warned -_-

Do you sometimes make a chapter and you make up a name. Then you realized that you don't want that name for your chapter anymore? The idea that I propose is for a name change in the Group's settings menu for each chapter. Basically, the name of the chapter will be changeable in the Group Setting's but the founder cannot change the name again in 24 hours.

I think that this will benefit us because names are what introduces things. A stupid name can poorly introduce things. Let's take a chapter for instance. If a chapter that is made for keeping Bnet records has a dumb name like "Halo Time". The chapter will not look right. There will not be a significant reason for people to join this chapter due to the name. If somebody changes the name to a more prestigious, thoughtful name like "Bungie.net's Records", then the chapter will seem slightly more intelligent and will give more members a boost of a reason why they should join the chapter.

Any inputs?

Creating a new group takes a lot of time. Especially moving all of your members to that new chapter. Migration takes a lot.

Edit: To top that off, I don't think all of the members would move too.

I like to Rollick

If users wouldn't migrate along with your group, why would you want them in your group in the first place?

I like the idea.

Honestly? The founder should have thought about it before giving his/her group a retarded name. And if you have a lot of members, so many that it would be hard to move them somewhere else, then apparently your name is working fine.

Like UNSC said, put some thought into your group name. Don't just wing it with something like H4I0 RU1Z0rZ!!!1!. I think it would be too much on the system, to ask it to be able to change group names on the fly, even with your proposed 24-hour waiting period.

Oh, good point. What if though you somehow get tired or feel that the name is lame?

It's really the same as member name-changing. It'd create more confusion than it would be worth, really.

That's why when the name is changed, I propose that the founder cannot change the name within 24 hours.

How about, it can only be changed once every 48 hours, and after 14 days, can't be changed at all?

Yes I think that would be a good idea. Sometimes groups evolve, for the better.
