I think nicknames should haeva timer on them so you can only change them once an hour,or day

I know you can assign a nickname on your friends, but I don't know if it can be done on chat rooms.

I don't think forcing one nickname or putting it on a cooldown would be beneficial : people often use nick changes as custom statuses, and removing that will ensure they will be going to want this feature removed.

you can do this without being friends with them already.. just join the chat room, then on the right side next to their name "dropdown" then "add nickname"

thanks man, it was a hard thing for me to do, but i just had to do it, the only preoblem now is new user and duplicate steam accounts of same users loggining under different steam account. but i think overall it would have been better if steam had a better nick change policy, i really dont get what a steam user would have a use to change a nick every 15 minutes unless its some sort of scam, too much anonimity really affect how people talk in chat and have no respect for others,

For the Fun of it, i change most of the time for Status, and i seen soem that just like to change, or do a type and change again
I do not think there need to be a limit on it

i understand that its fun, but i often go to chat and there are literally half of people change their avatar along with nuicknames every day/week/month. i really have no clue what most people really are in that chat. and compared to its usefuleness i really dont understand the use of instantly changeable nickname, if people were not so anonmous there would be much less trolls.

Custom Statuses were "hacked together" because people felt that the provided statuses are not sufficient for their needs. I don't get why either, but it's very useful if you don't want to answer "why are you X ?" all the time.

Another thing to take into consideration is spelling mistakes. Everyone do them, and it's in those cases where the insta-change really shines : why wait for 24 hours when one can correct himself right now ?

EDIT : Just did one here. Nobody is safe from them.

As outlined before, assigning persistent nicknames for you to use is possible. You may wish to use this non-restrictive method instead.

Then you can use nicknames..
And i cant really see that taking down on trolls, if someone want toll that bad he can just open more accounts and use them to troll

Over all i do not think its good to add a limit if there is not a good reason for it

because you do not see why people need or want to change their Alias frequently or their avatars does not make it pointless or shady, that just means you have no need or want for it but they have, it is their choice wether they want to change name every 2 min or 2 years.

as it seems like you want to track every person you are in a chat room with you should probably just make a tool for it because i dont think steam/valve would be able to make a viable option for that.

tracking multiple users is not that hard but it will require a few things.

of course its not a very popular change, but perfectly from a moral stanpoint, people would troll less if they know they can be tracked down. but it would cause less kids be on steam and less revenue for valve.

You can be tracked down also now with what ever name you have

You can change name, or castum URL all you like, these:
