»Lynx Posted May 28, 2008 Report Posted May 28, 2008 Chambahs and I were in SS earlier, and he noticed the ?Setemail command is disabled, anybody know why? Regards, Lynx
Aceflyer Posted May 28, 2008 Report Posted May 28, 2008 The command can only be used once, ever, I think. This is to discourage the practice of name-trading.

BlueGoku Posted May 28, 2008 Report Posted May 28, 2008 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.
»Lynx Posted May 29, 2008 Author Report Posted May 29, 2008 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. -Lynx
Incomplete Posted May 29, 2008 Report Posted May 29, 2008 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...
Dav Posted May 30, 2008 Report Posted May 30, 2008 I also agree with this, too many people are losing aliases becuse of this and IMO nametrading isnt a major problem.
