Hi all,
We have a rather large Discourse instance and currently allow users to change their username up to 3 days after they create an account.
We’ve grown rapidly in the last few months, and the amount of requests we’re getting to change usernames is becoming untenable.
We’re considering upping the time period for users to change their usernames to essentially forever, but first I wanted to see if there might be pitfalls with doing this that I’m not thinking of. Our users must be verified members of our organization, so we don’t have any anonymous accounts or random users.
What’s been your experience? How long do you allow users to change their usernames? Is it working for you?
