Confirmation Popup for Username Changes

Hi Discord team,

I am writing to provide feedback on the option to change people's usernames. I believe this feature could be improved by adding a confirmation popup or similar notification to the user whose username is being changed. The popup should show the user's current username and the new username that the admin or moderator wants to set for them. This would allow the user to approve or decline the request to change their username. If the user approves the request, they should still be able to reset their username back to their original one, even if the server they are on does not allow username changes.

I understand that some admins may need to change users' usernames for legitimate reasons, such as if the user has an offensive or troll username. However, I believe that adding a confirmation popup would be a good way to protect users from having their usernames changed without their consent. It would also allow users to have more control over their own identity on Discord.

Here are some additional details about how this feature could be implemented:

The confirmation popup should be displayed to the user immediately after the admin or moderator requests to change their username.
The popup should show the user's current username and the new username that the admin or moderator wants to set for them.
The user should be able to approve or decline the request to change their username.
If the user approves the request, they should still be able to reset their username back to their original one, even if the server they are on does not allow username changes.

I believe that this feature would be a valuable addition to Discord and would help to protect users from having their usernames changed without their consent. Thank you for your time and consideration.

In addition to the above, I would like to add that admins should be required to provide a reason for why they are requesting to change a user's username. This would help to ensure that the request is legitimate and not simply an attempt to harass or bully the user. Additionally, users should be able to appeal a username change request. If a user believes that their username was changed unfairly, they should be able to appeal the decision to the server's owner or moderators.

I believe that these measures would help to ensure that the username change feature is used fairly and responsibly.

Now i know some might say "but if his original username has something offensive in it or like troll usernames (everyone, here etc.)". The admins can just dm him or add a note to the username change request saying that if he doesn't change his username he will be kicked or banned from the server, or smarter admins can negotiate with that person a new username that both parties will agree on.

Thank you for your time.

Yes i asked GPT to write this but its still my own idea he just polished my text

A confirmation popup for username changes is a pop-up window that appears when a user attempts to change their username. The popup displays the user's current username and the new username that they have entered. The user must then confirm that they want to change their username by clicking on a button.

This feature can be used to prevent accidental username changes. For example, if a user accidentally mistypes their new username, they will be able to see the error before the change is made. Additionally, the confirmation popup can be used to prevent users from changing their usernames to inappropriate or offensive names.

Here is an example of a confirmation popup for username changes:
