Suggestion Name: freeing of inactive usernames

 

Suggestion Description: I would like to suggest the implementation of the feature of freeing a username if there hasn't been a login to the corresponding account for a certain (reasonable) amount of time (a half year, a whole year, you name it)

 

Any example images: self-explanatory without an image

 

Why should it be added?: Players come and go, and some players may have left the game for good. But even after moving on from the game, their usernames remain reserved for all eternity, unusable for others.
Why not free those for active users that may have an interest in such a username?

It's a good idea because now players have '' ' , . '' in addition to their names. '' They started adding these punctuation marks. The main reason for these additions is that the desired nickname is owned by another user.

However, as in other social media, a given nickname cannot be accessed unless users permanently close their accounts. Even though we want this player to have his nickname given to someone else because he hasn't been logged in for a long time, if the inactive player changes his mind one day, we may be able to withhold the nickname he previously had. That's why your opinion is a bit problematic on this issue.

While some of you might agree on this, there should be few exceptions from username freeing. One of them are staff members, who passed away at some point.

If you want to ask anywhere on forums whenever 32-bit version of MP will be supported in future, try to start GTA V on your 32-bit machine before checking game's system requirements.

Instead of quoting the post above, use the ^ character. The character is actually pointing to the post above.

I see... this is easally fixable by reminding long abcent* players to remove their accounts. This will free some user names for sure.
*A long abcent player is such a player that hasn't been online, in case of THM, for more than 2 years (in this calculation are included banned people).

I strongly support this proposal. After setting an overage limit that no one will be victimized, the system should take the names of users who exceed this limit and give them a default name. Those who occupied these names years ago are preventing many people from getting names today.

I don't like this. Imagine you didn't play for 1-2 years and then comes back to the game. Then you see that your username was claimed from another player.

It's a good idea for people who was banned for ever with no chance for an unban.

True, people come and go. I certainly wouldn't like my username being taken because I didn't have time to play the game. I like your idea to free usernames of people who were banned permanently.

Agree with you. Nice explanation.

I like this idea, this way people can have the name they want and they won't use things like '.' anymore :HaulieLove:

However, you will need to contact your email address to contact us for deletion. And I agree with this opinion

I agree that perma-banned people accounts should be reverted to just numbers and the names freed, but the names of the people that have stopped playing years ago should also be subjected to the same treatment as long as there was no activity for more than 12 months without bans been involved.

I think the word here would be more appropriate to use "login" instead of "playing".

 

Bacause,This is because some people have been unable to play the game due to problems with their PC specs and can only access the WEBsite.

For this reason, 12 years may seem like too long, but this is also true for those who do not have a job or are a student.

The low PC specs are not a problem, but the usual excuse lazy people have when lacking the motivation to upgrade or buy a new PC. Just man up, go to work and support yourself. If you can't, stay quiet.

Freeing up usernames of inactive users after a certain period of time sounds like a fair way to make those names available for active users.

Furthermore it would help keep the username pool fresh and accessible for those who are actively engaged in the game.

Does this mean someone can have your name?

Supported!
Add check every 1-2 year to see if it was used in forum/games tho and if found keep it for another 1-2 years

If I met this requirement, my username could be used by someone else.

 

But since I'm an active (forum) user, it doesn't apply to me.

"Furthermore it would help keep the username pool fresh and accessible for those who are actively engaged in the game."

In ur initial comment was slightly misleading then
