I'm sorry, but I despise this idea of changing names. Sure, I regret my name, and more so down the track because I chose it from what bullies used to call me, but honestly let's look at the pros and cons of this.

Pros:

1. You can have a cool new username.

Cons:

1. Server Owners can't ban you if you change your name.
2. It is morally confusing for people to distinguish you.
3. It's going to cause many problems down the track, whether system overloads at Mojang, or debates of innapropriateness.

This is why I don't condone this new idea Jeb brought to mind, it's just plain horrible and will lead to a new level of griefing.

This will make greifing go to Level 10 from Level 3 and I absolutely agree. Sure, it would be cool to chang eyour name, but I'm a server owner and a co-owner of two servers and I would hate to ban a greifer then have to reban him 2 minutes later. I completely agree.

I'm guessing no-one here uses Steam? On Steam, merely changing your display name won't evade you from a V.A.C Ban.
Why would changing the display name of your Mojang account be any different? As long as servers are set up in a way so
that using the /ban command will ban the account name, changing your display name shouldn't allow you to evade any bans.

Yeah, they should have an Account Title (in my case, Milo), so this would be your profile name. Then, you could change your IGN name and when server owners ban someone they ban the account title.I know this is completely out of topic, but I'd like nicknames in Vanilla. I go on a vanilla server and everybody calls me "cafe" and I want them to call me "milo" so like enicknames that dont have the little ~ thing.I know this is completely out of topic, but I'd like nicknames in Vanilla.

I'll only say "cool!" if it means plug-ins on Vanilla. If not, I will be as mad as before with no plug-ins on my awesome Vanilla server.Well, pretty cool, I guess. Stil waitng for the answer to my question...
