Attn Forum Members

With some increased issues with Trolls, Spammers, Instigaters, etc. The Mods have decided to implement a forum rule change. Those members that do not use their real name and use a screen name such as "Nubtard007", will be instantly banned without warning if they insult, challenge, or are inappropriate to other forum members.

This forum is about sharing knowledge and exchanging ideas in a positive atmosphere as we are a team and a family.

This doesn't mean you can't have a healthy debate, just keep it civil.

Eisner and I have difference in opinion on the 50/50 guard and how it applies to leg locks, even though I'm right and he's wrong ;), it doesn't mean I'm gunna call him and ignorant d-bag. I have respect for the man and the work he does to benefit and further the system. Agree to disagree it'll benefit both parties and we can continue to learn and grow from each other.

So play nice and spread the love.

Is there a way to change our usernames? When I registered I wasn't aware that you guys preferred us to use our real names. I have no problem with using my real name. So yea, can we change em or what? Thanks. :)

I believe you can change them in your profile ,you have nothing to worry about Matt, you've been cool in all the posts I've seen ;), if you can't I know Scott Elkin can change it for you, you can just send him a PM.

For the record it isn't necessary to change your screen name (real names are preferred), just be cool to each other is all we ask.

Thanks. I searched but can't seem to find the ability to change usernames on the profile page, so I sent Scott a message with the request. I actually like the using real names pseudo-rule... makes things more personal and helps to weed out the crap that this thread is referring to. In the words of Renato... I come for Jiu Jits. :)

Here is how to change your user name. First click sign up. You will see a prompt that says you have already done so. Click edit or change profile.

Thanks Micah!

I have noticed this place is much less dick-ish than most of the interweb. I like it. I think I will hang out for a while, and not be a dick.

Dude...I just hard core LOL'd. Nice! For the record, I think you are an awesome leg lock guy...it's just a difference of opinion and that doesn't mean I am not willing to listen.

Debate is healthy and how real friends/teammates speak to one another. I consider Chris my friend and teammate.

Thank you for not calling me an ignorant d-bag. :-P

unfortunately you cannot change your username yourself. if that were possible, i wouldn't have already changed about 40 people's usernames...grrrr.

I almost went with the name "Fukhead Jones". But I didn't..............

It is too easy to be critical. To help takes actual knowledge, integrity and self-control.

As I said to RW when he visited Burbank last week - this site is going to get even more personal. People will be using this site to get ranked and for honest help with their technique. If people feel like they will be mocked or ridiculed, this site will lose much value.

Fine for what? Since you train at 10th planet moon I assume you won't need to be ranked online (one of the main reasons eddie wanted people to use real names). Were only talking about banning trolls and pains in the ass that hide behind screen names, unless you fall into one of those catagories your fine.

Well said Coach Herzog and I agree. I was eagerly awaiting a rule such as this. It was starting to look like there were some serious trolls hitting the site.
On that note, anyone catch the heel hook that wasn't last night and the bitching that ensued? Curious as to everyone's take. I have to get on that leg lock thread more.

I wanted Palhares to get Nate in the Heel Hook but to bad for him I dont think Nate was greased though.

To add one more note to this - IF you do get banned unjustly, we can remove the ban. If it was ignorance or you were just misunderstood, I will reinstate you and change your name to your correct name.

If you send me an email asking why, and you apologize and understand why the moderator did what they did, then great - you learned something and we'll move on.

I can pretty much gauge whether the ban was legitimate or not by what the person says to me in the email anyway.

I didnt use my real name when starting to thread on here cause i didnt know how much of a family you tenth planet guys are im not a troll anyway so i got no worries

unstuck :)

I'm all for real names...

By the way, my real name is Jeff Race...so its all cool.

I'll put here my real name, but I do NOT want my username changed.

René "Zendokan" Gysenbergs.

I have always been using "Zendokan" as username and in real live where it is shortened to "Zendo", heck you will get a faster response from me when you call "Zendo" instead of "René".

wish we could change to our real names...

Hey Mods, can we just put in a request? I would just re-register but I signed up for the mastering the system pod casts and don't want to have to pay again....

I'm in the same spot. I paid for a year, so I just cant re-register. and Scott hasn't gotten back to me. Not that I'd talk shit anyway, but I feel a little dishonest not using my real name, when everyone else is. I didn't read the post about it until it was too late.

yeah me too man...

My name is James Davis

i still got to figure out how to get my pic on here
