Default RE: New User Name???

I'd like to step in here for a minute to point out RCU's policies on this matter. Every member can have only one username, regardless of the circumstances. We do realize that many times a member will create a new username not knowing our policies. This is not normally a problem if we can see that only one of the accounts is being actively used. However, if a member is found actively using 2 usernames then we will take actions. Depending on the reasons why this happened we will usually just merge to two accounts and will allow the member to keep one of them, however there are circumstances where having multiple usernames could result in the member being banned from RCU. So the best policy is to not create new usernames.

It's a pretty simple procedure to change a username if needed. Simply go to your account preferences and put in the new username. This change will need to be approved by our administrator, but that usually happens same day so it's not a big deal.

Here our policies on this matter

USERNAMES & DISCLOSURE:
Only one username or account is necessary at RCU, all others will be removed. If you create a second username to act as a shill or in attempt to bypass a management ban, you will be at risk of permanent removal from RCU. A shill is defined by but not limited to the act of promoting products for vendors, products or the like, and the act of hiding behind anonymity to abuse normal membership policies and etiquette.

If you are a manufacturer, vendor, sponsored representative, retailer or the like for an r/c related company or product you must specifically identify yourself and the particular affiliation in your signature. Any member affiliated with a company not identifying themselves as such is at risk of revocation from RCU. This is identified, but not limited to a member who gains anything financially whether in cash, product, discount or the like.

Web addresses may not be used as usernames.
Please feel free to ask any questions you may have on this matter
