I don't know about deliberately doing it, but I know that when staff changes rule-breaking names they change them to namechange and a bunch of numbers.
Their user name wasn't inappropriate or rule breaking (at least I can't find a reason it would be) it was one of those people who try to be minimalist and have 1 short word as their UN. It would be ironic if it was rule breaking because it literally was just Rule lol
SA I did just read their profile comments and apparently they got their old account closed for multi accounting so idk. Could be they did it again lol some people never learn
I recall an instance of this happening some years back to someone when they got banned for having signed up while under 13yrs old, their name wasn't rulebreaking otherwise and they were from the US iirc.
I'm not sure why exactly staff does this to some accounts (outside of bad names ofc) and not to others despite similar ban reasons
I wouldn't put it beyond a player to change their own UN prior to a prospective ban but that particular format is the one staff uses.
DA Yeah, the only reason staff would change the username to "NameChanged###" is if they sign up under the age of 13 or their nickname is inappropriate. It's most likely the former. It's not legal for flight rising to collect the information of anyone under the age of 13, and so even if they're no longer under the age of 13 but had an account then, staff wipes it.
