Every one of us picked our Minecraft user name when we signed up on minecraft.net for the first time (and every time thereafter). For most of us, knowing that whatever name was chosen is stuck with us forever is just a part of the game. Still, what if you gave yourself a silly or inappropriate name? What if you're just tired of the one you have? Currently, this means getting another copy of the game - but maybe not for long.
Jeb hinted that username changes might be a feature in the near future, something that Mollstam is looking into currently. While there is no set date - or even a hinted one - for the feature's arrival, it would seem that it's more a matter of "when" than "if" now.
Maybe I can use this opportunity to change my name to "MrFluffykins".

Wiki Skin Overhaul
For years, the Minecraft Wiki has followed the same visual format as many wikis - it's a tried and true look, after all. For one user - namely, Ultradude25, an administrator on the wiki - this just wasn't good enough. Leading the effort to revamp the wiki's appearance, the community has given Minecraft's most popular wiki a complete make-over - head on over and check it out!
Minecraft Wiki will seem quite familiar to forum regulars - keep in mind however, that the visual re-design was done entirely by volunteers! It is, in many ways, another reminder of just how strong the Minecraft community is, and how far it reaches. It's hard to think of another gaming community with such strong dedication, passion and sense of unity. Congratulations to Ultradude25, and everyone who helped him out on this incredibly ambitious project!
You could have one a username redirect sorta thing for a week or so and server mods and/or admins would be notified of the username change, although this would be annoying so your user ID idea is probably the way to go.
I don't like IP banning. I would cry if I used the same computer and played on the same server as a griefer.
Also it would be good if you could un-migrate your Mojang account back to a Minecraft account. I'm sick of logging in with my email and it will be annoying if I ever do an LP, everyone will know my email.
Exactly... I am so glad Adblock exists, I was able to block the style sheet... back to a good old boring look so I can focus on the information.
blocking rule: |http://www.minecraftwiki.net/load.php?debug=false&lang=en&modules=site&only=styles&skin=vector&*
result:
but this feature is on the pocket edition version of minecraft and on servers you've got griefers and trolls and they will just change there name and this gives them something to hide behind while they spam your place with bricks also they will inpersonate others and you've got a group of people chucking accusations at who did this or who killed who and everything goes crap.
Name-Only Bans not working: Every Minecraft purchase recieves an ID to my understanding, banning by that would be a very efficient alt.
Name stealing: Why would you change your name if you like it? Kind of a do at your own risk thing imo.
Morally Displeasing: A fresh start doesn't really hurt anybody, and your bans are already in place, no lose.
People acting as other people: Ban imitators if you don't like it.

But maybe also so that server ops can see the name in parentheses.So guys just quote and reply if you think its a good idea I personally think that's exactly how it should be.
Also I agree, I hate the name KingSnivy, I want it to be TheMarkCrafter.
