Change username to user ID.

This would help track scammers down. I suggest removing it as soon as possible, well editing it to a specific identification number which can be done by signing up.

Can you please be more specific?

Can you please be more specific?

You profile link is: http://demonforums.net/User-Alex
It should be: http://demonforums.net/35353 (or a UID)

I agree with this user, because if I scammed someone and someone linked my profile saying im a scammer all I need to do is change my name and my profile URL will change aswell. If everyone gets a UID number it wont change if you change your user name so a scammer cant get a fresh restart.

Good idea buddy I'll second this

I can see where you are coming from. I'll discuss this with the other staff to see about it, but currently we don't regularly have issues with scammers, if we even get any.

You wouldn't have to change the full URL. You could just add a little tab on their profile next to their name w/ the UID.

You'd need to change the URL because when searching for a user, you would not be able to search for the UID, unless a custom plugin was made.

Everyone already has an assigned UID when they register that doesn't change when they modify their username. I personally don't see a need for this so my opinion would be don't waste your time with make a custom plugin or doing any extensive work.

I don't really see a point in this since scammers will get perm'd regardless.

This would make it easier for the admins to track down the scammers.
What happens if the Skype is compromised?
