...Sorry for that. Hopefully everything will be back to normal/stays the way it is sometime soon.
You will need to. Otherwise, when you go to update one of your maps, an error will come up saying that you're not the beatmap creator.zhangze611 wrote:

To fix this, you'll need to edit the creator field of each difficulty (either in the editor or by manually editing the .osu files in notepad). Then, while you're submitting, make sure that the "download location" matches your currently uploaded one. Whatever message you had in the text box should be there as well.
Example Submission and Beatmap Info
I'm not sure if this can be done easier, since I was a bit afraid that I'd mess something up when updating (and I don't have any other pending maps to test atm).

If you have any pending maps, you will need to change them before submitting. Ranked maps will not have your new username until osz2 is implemented (which will mean they are fixed).
Am I supposed to be allowed to change? I'm not a subscriber at the moment, though I once was.

It makes sense to me that if an account registers and never plays/posts in the forum, that those sorts of accounts should auto purge after a certain time frame has passed. Aqua is one such example of an account that appears to have registered and done nothing (most of these are actually spambots anyway).

This is what I thought as well. Perhaps a timeframe of two years (or even one year) would make sense, especially if the account has 0 beatmaps/0 posts/etc. Obviously there could be more lenience if the user has a higher playcount or such, but I digress...FurukawaPan wrote:

And how is "no longer active" classified? I've seen quite a few people who put osu! down for quite a while, but eventually came back to it. I don't think that's fair to them, plus you could do some nasty things with it. Say I turned into MOOMANiBE, Saturos, or Sarumaru. Actually, they have recent site visits...
But still, I could hijack a recognizable person and mess with people, despite them being able to see I used to be Pokebis.
I think it's just a bad idea 100%.
#modHelp was discussing different restrictions with peppy last night about this. Number of ranked maps, playcount, (and possibly forum posts?) would be taken into account. Therefore, old ACTIVE users would never be touchable.Pokebis wrote:

The accounts that people want seem to have <100 playcount, haven't been logged since 2008 or early 2009, or were only active for a day or two.
Well there is no harm in purging the obvious, i.e. 0 posts, 0 playcounts.
Definitely agree with this one.Pokebis wrote:

I can't imagine peppy was thinking of letting people grab the identities of people who were substantial contributors and for whichever reason have stopped playing/mapping/posting. I assumed inactive account meant 0 plays/0 posts anyway which would definitely not be the case for any significant past contributors to the community.
Apprently once someone changes names, the old one IS grabbable.
Example: http://osu.ppy.sh/u/gladiool (Gladi before)
And now theres: http://osu.ppy.sh/u/gladi as of yesterday.
Just pointing it out.

For the time being the old username will be obtainable by others. If you are worried about this being a problem, then don't change your username yet. I may look at the possibility of reserving the old one at some point. I think most people who want to change their names won't be that attached to the old name (they shouldn't be if they are changing it) so apart from obvious impersonation attempts (which can be dealt with on an individual basis) I don't see there being too much harm the way it is.

oh cmon haha, i knew something like this would happen
I did read the part about 'recognize you' and stuff. I was just being emo, stupid, and trying to quit chat 'cuz a friend got banned so I changed my name. The moment I pressed the button I realized what I had just done and went, "AH SHI-" because I knew I did nothing but confuse everybody and frantically pressed 'back', but it was too late.

The next well-known player to change their name to an unrecognizable one will force me to rollback all similar cases and block further name changes for these users.

Well were those usernames listed above/below that got their username changed back requested by the user or did you just decide to change it for no reason?
Shohei Ohtani
He changed it because the name change system was intended to be used for things like Beuchi-chan becoming Beuchi, and stuff like that. Therefore, he kicked some ass and rolled back names that didn't follow this original intention.DataCirno wrote:

He changed them back because the rules state you are not allowed to change your user name to something unrecognizable (it says it in big letters) to what it was before, those people didn't follow that.

Cuddlebun?
Cuddlebun used her name in IRC for months, so her name change didn't cause any confusion to most people.
Others were either recognizable under their new name or just weren't well known (AKA no one cared about them).
The names that were changed were the ones that caused the most confusion from what I can tell (including DataCirno's name change, he's a frequent Off-Topic user). Except for CDFA. That wasn't that confusing to me, since CDFA is the only person on this planet who would change their username to Justin Bieber. It was probably confusing to other people though.
This is why we can't have nice things.

And expounding on Ekaru, not only did I use it in IRC for months, I usually talked ONLY in irc, so there wasn't conflict between Cuddlebun/Todesengal, even when I was on osu. Not to mention I was Cuddlebun elsewhere, like vent ^_~

What about that:
No direct Change.
You can "Request" a new Username and a Bat/Peppy have to check it. If its oke, the change will be done, if not, the Player will get a PM with the Reason for "NO!"
