I'm not taking about old accounts that have no banned/scammer tag.
But I seriously don't think it's fair those names are gone forever on accounts people have 100% chance of never getting back.

If you're banned and never allowed back it's a complete waste of a name
Is their a reason behind this? Maybe I can get an answer instead of my thread being closed without one? What's the point of letting banned people keep their godly account names. I feel of that lose the account, they don't deserve the name.

This time has been implemented since jsp started. There's is absolutely no point in letting a banned account keep their name.

I can see a scammer account being able to keep godly names because they could potentially pay it back someday. But a ban is a ban and that name is gone forever

Why would you want to have the same name as someone who got banned anyways?

Also, sometimes under certain circumstances a "banned" or "disabled" account has had their ban/disable lifted despite it noting that once an account gains such status that they are irreversible.

Because some of the banned names are awesome and haven't been seen Since the site started. They probably bottled names until they got good ones and the. Just had them banned. Its dumb

Who cares about a name on a trading forum.
This isn't Diablo 2, WoW or OSRS where people care about a name that much.
And no, there are tons of people in this world who do things for money.
Alot of people probably took those names in hopes that someone would try to purchase it from them.

A lot of people care about names
Me being one of them
Its just an old rule I feel should be updated to the people who are abandoned the site after getting banned and will never be allowed back

True, and I would. But they are banned and gone forever lol

I like the idea but honestly I think it has to do with tying the name to the account who committed the offence.

Say someone gets scammer tagged and banned with a cool name. Someone else later takes that name, and everyone is just going to think you're the person that scammed before. Or who's to say the same person doesn't make a new account and use the same name. No one could truly know if the new owner of the name is actually a new owner or not.

The history of scammers would in a sense take a hit and be harder to track.

I'd just like to add that some account names have also been added to the banned word list

I assume not many would like changing their account name to one of those and getting everyone auto-suspended either (although I would totally do this cause it's funny )

So would I



But seriously banned accounts need to go
I guarantee you some of those or aren't even alive anymore
