[Crews] Centralised: Change Crew Name
-
@hespera said in suggestion: change the name of the group.:
@ferchohdez As already stated earlier, we want that crew names be unique like manager names. When this change was implemented, we gave some time for users to adjust and we accepted some requests to change.
Now we'll be changing names only in two situations:
> - Old crews with names longer than the actual size and full name not visible- Crews with names that go against OSM terms
We may open exceptions once in a while, but depends on the reason. Name change just because you want to be easily identified as an academy is not a valid reason for us!
Our crew has the name longer than the actual size... the full name is not visible, regards.
@mlombeida Based on the last argument the request will be forwarded.
- Crews with names that go against OSM terms

What we do not understand is that they changed the name to a group that had been created for days and they can not change it to us, which in my opinion is also valid for our reason. We hope you can reconsider, greetings.

@mlombeida The crew name has been changed now.
@hespera Hello, Hi I would change the name of my crew because the current does not fit in full (missing 2 letters +1 character)
unless we can have a waiver to have longer. ?the name of the crew is: Ol Lyonnais French Legends ★
at the moment we only see Ol Lyonnais French Legen since the update, which makes no sense
if it is not possible to add (ds ★) I would like it to be:
Ol Lyonnais Fr Legends ★thanks a lot

@ol-lyonnais11 It's not possible to add special characters to the name, so the new name must be shorter.
@hespera
it was the name we had on the old crew page with the star,
so if it's not possible we take Ol Lyonnais Fr Legends -

More than six days since my colleague vasil66 made a request and still no answer-neither positive nor negative?

@alexander-6666 When we don't respond to the request then it's time to read the part of only reasons why a crew name will be changed. It's posted on page 1.

@motanelu Hello Cosmin and thank you for this post.
You are right mate, this doesn't look good to me either. It's also the first time that I read such a problem, for two Crews to share the exact Crewname. I will inform our CM team about this matter and when I'll have an answer to your question I will return here with my feedback.

@motanelu Hello again Cosmin
I'd like to inform you about the reply I got concerning the two Crew names that look similar .I am sorry if it sounds bad from me ( please don't shoot the messenger
) but the most important thing is that there’s no bug involved in this case my friend.
Although both crew names may look almost identical, the fact remains that for the OSM's system are 100% different and valid, because the new Crew actually used an extra gap between the RO and MANIA words. Of course every Crew Leader is now able to make changes on his crew name. So from now on it’s really up to you guys .
I mean both of you Crew Leaders, to communicate with each other and if this similarity still bothers you that much you could have a polite dialogue about it and possibly reach a gentlemen's agreement for one of you to change a bit the final crew name.
