You all know that change names on scratch wont exist, until now…
I HAVE A SOLUTION!!!! (oh hell yeah!!!)
First, add name history on every single account:
The button:
And look like this:


Second, changing name cool down and limit:
The limit of change names is 10 times, and had to wait 1 month to change again.

That's it for today, bye!

The reason they won't implement in is because the ST has trouble with changing the database or something

(Why does everyone wanna change their username?)
However, would that username become open for taking again? If not, there would be a lot of usernames taken over 10 months, and users could still be confused due to the fact they just check their following/followers
The way the ST does it is they make a new account and move everything there, ultimately deleting the old one, i believe due to the system, they can’t just outright change it, and will only do that method if it breaks the CG

Let's say I added an extra 0 to my name. Someone might want my name, since it's not my username anymore. Can someone take it or is it still “Username Taken.”

It's because they don't have a big enough Moderation Team to allow such feature.

And the fact that the current database is incapable of handling a username change.
When they change accounts, they have to make a whole new account and move all the data to that account, thus, username changes are rare.

This was suggested as a solution before, but was rejected.

Yeah, this is still rejected. It still makes moderation more difficult/confusing than the way things are currently set up.

Since this suggestion is rejected, I'll close it to help highlight the answer and prevent future responses. Thanks!
