just a little suggestion: You shouldn't be allowed to change your hub's name when it was already made because people could easily change it to another game's name and accuse that game of ripping their name....Or make it so you can't make a name that's already taken >.>

Sorry if this is in the wrong category but there's no suggestions category

This is the suggestions category. =)

That wouldn't stop people doing that, though, because they can always just save all the information from the hub entry, delete it, and recreate it.

But then on the hub creation date it would say that they were made after the original game they are trying to rip the name from. because if they just edited a pre-made hub they had then they could say theirs was first.

Trademark your game's name. Then sue anyone who uses it. Not worth taking them to court? Then is it really so important?

I agree with Rvegeta I mean its not all about trademark and you cant trademark a game like dnz, so he is trying to say that if you make a game and you want it to be original, then someone else may still your name and change it on their hub then claim you stole the name from them.. so then you would have a game with a name you made and would have to go through the trouble of making another..

So this is an issue over who stole the name from the rightful owners first?
