I tried to get my name changed several times, never happened. Would love to get rid of this name.

since not everyone has signatures turned on, I would prefer to see it under the handle as well....for 90 days and a certain number of posts. I would have no problem putting the impetus on the poster to request the removal after the required period.

That seems very fair.

Idea and reasons make sense and well presented. ^

I would expect that if the purpose of the notification of the name change is for the benefit of members, that a longer period of time be considered. Even 3 months seems short to me. It would also seem to me that having this notice running a minimum time, with the action of removing it to be the members' responsibility (in terms of an email for the notice to be removed) may be an easier approach to administrate.

Are the unofficial rules still as presented in the OP? I am considering submitting a request because of privacy issues (due to the fact that my name is in my handle.)

Thanks!
