Chambahs and I were in SS earlier, and he noticed the ?Setemail command is disabled, anybody know why?

The command can only be used once, ever, I think. This is to discourage the practice of name-trading.

Yep. ^^

A few years ago priitk enabled use of that command for a short period of time. Theoretically it was supposed to be enabled for a short period of time every couple years, but that didn't end up happening.

 

The SSCouncil has been lobbying for it to be re-enabled permanently for a while now, but I doubt it ever will be. In my opinion if it was enabled it would actually cut down on name-trading, since it would ultimately mean that once you give someone your name, you aren't going to have any way of getting it back.

Ah, I figured it was because I had already used it once before, but I was sure I never done it with my current alias, maybe it's time to drop the passive protest.

I tried that a while ago and I couldn't get it to work, never had it done before either.

True. I agree that it'd be a good command to have enabled, after all some people do change email addresses over the years...

I also agree with this, too many people are losing aliases becuse of this and IMO nametrading isnt a major problem.
