Hello. i made this account a while back and my two main alts in smogon were Test Rex and Marsopa Trump, ergo the name. back then one of them was just a funny alt memeing a famous controversial figure, but after stuff that has happened I would like to not have any traces of political discourse in my name.
I wanna ask for something unorthodox tho, I would like to have my name changed to "Rex". The account "Rex" exists in smogon, I looked it up, but the user made his account on 2007 and was last seen on smogon 2010, 14 years ago. Since it is obvious that this user is not going to come back ever, I wanted to ask if its possible to overtake the name, I would love to be named "Rex" since thats how I am known in the OM community.
In the default that the answer to can I overtake anohter name is no, I would like to have my name changed to "Test Rex" instead,
Pretty thanks.
Quick edit after informing myself further: Looks like, how it is explained on the starting post of this thread, only badged members may overtake names that fulfill parameters. The user I am proposing, "Rex" has been 14 years without connecting and only hs 4 posts in total. Also, while I am not badged, I do fulfill the requirements for a "Tiering Contributor" badge as I have participated in more than 4 suspect tests in the Balanced Hackmons metagame. I can provide the proof of this if necesary.
Another edit: I have been informed that Balanced Hackmons is an unnoficial metagame and such I need 6 suspects participations instead of 4, so I wouldnt validate. i dont know, I can wait and get more suspects in a try again, cuz I would really love to have Rex as nickname.
you've written so many words that i'm a bit lost on what change you want atp. at the very least you can't have rex until you get badged (and i could also see us wanting to hold on to it as a high-value name, we'll have to discuss it if/when it's time). if you want another variant then make a new post pls
