@cpradio I just confirmed that non-admin users can also change their usernames. This [user](http://forum.freecodecamp.com/admin/users/6872/rafase282) (who is a mod and not currently an admin) was able to change his username last night even though the “username change period” was set to 0. So this functionality does not seem to be working currently.
