Name Change Command (Flagme/Flag)

Hi there,

I can't seem to find any command relating to name change.

There should be three types of flag commands:

:flagme <new username> Allows user to change their username
:flag <username> Allows Staffs to enforce a name change on a username.
:flag <username> <new username> Allows Staffs to perform a name change on a account forcefully.

Flagme and Flag Command

:flagme <new username> and :flag <username> <new username> commands should validate the new username entry to the wordfilter table so that new usernames will not be filtered by the emulator.

Flag Command

To add into permission table so we can define a certain rank [e.g. MOD] is allowed to enforce change (i.e. :flag <username>) while certain rank [e.g. Manager] is allowed to perform change on behalf of user (i.e. :flag <username> <new username>).

Flagme Command

To add into permission table so we can define a certain rank [e.g. VIP] is allowed to change their name.
To add a table which tracks name changes [when was it changed, user_id, previous name, new name]
To add frequency a user can change their name [e.g. change once a week] based on rank. This can be tracked using the user_id column of the last "name change" table (see second bullet) or another column created for this purpose in users or users_settings column.
To add a table (similar to wordfilter, but totally different purpose) that prevents username containing/beginning with MOD-, for instance, to be changed. - Staff using :flag <username> <new username>, however, will not have this restriction. This allows Staff to prefix usernames such as MOD- to a new staff member, where regular account could not do so.

Hopefully this would help some how.

EDIT: Anyone developing this might also want to take note that the commands should also update the new username into the owner_name column of the rooms table.
