He changed his name 4 times in two weeks. Dumbest idea ever.

That particular person has changed his name at least 8 times (those that I know of, theoretically it could be more than 20). I think in such extreme cases the administrators should lock all accounts from the same IP and enforce the usage of just 1 account, to prevent confusion.

What if you have brothers or sisters who also have accounts?

Maybe do something similar to Steam where it shows past names?

This is just an idea, but maybe we could implement a "Clan Tag" option in the UCP where you enter in a clan tag and it shows it either in front or below your username.

In front: "[TAG] Username"
Below: "[TAG] Member" (Like on the old forum. But I know that making usergroups for specific people can be a pain)

But wouldn't that include the implementation of the sub-forum for each clan again and on top of that, another clan council? With the amount of failing clans we have here, clan related usergroups would be a pain just like you said and only the few clans who deserve it should have their group made.

If your clan can be organized enough to join the league and have matches I'd say that is good milestone for the clan to get their out usergroup this way no clan council is needed

No clan council. I am slowly working on the clan software to make clan sub sections a thing. I am going to have an arbitrary number of forums users to vouch for it. Say like 5. And probably an arbitrary time limit to get 5 users to vouch for it, like 2 weeks. And then a brief manual review before approving the clan.
