Good day everyone,
Just a small PSA to let you all know about something regarding the Minecraft names created with the recent filter change. Lots of nice names were brought into com because of this, but you should be warned there's a chance some may leave soon.
There were two types of names made from this change, the first being the "filter change" names and also the "caps bypass" names.
First off, DO NOT TRANSFER or TRY TO TRANSFER any names made by the filter change, including the caps bypass ones. The filter was reverted, so any names made with the filter change are deemed inappropriate again. This means it's impossible to change the capitalization on any of these names and it's impossible to claim them on a new account. Any names claimed with the filter change will need to remain on the account it was claimed onto.
Another thing to be wary of is Mojang possibly reverting names made by using the caps bypass. The difference between the caps bypass names and the filter change names is how they were obtained. The filter change names didn't require any capitalization changes in order to claim. The caps bypass names, however, required the user to capitalize the name a certain way in order to bypass the filter. For example:
Crap - Name made with filter change, doesn't require certain capitalization
anALSex - Requires capitalization change in order to bypass the filter
The latter category of names might be reverted. Reputable member Phobia covers this in a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCfXefQAb6E
What does this mean for the filter change names, specifically, though? Not much. Any names that didn't require certain capitalization to use should not be reverted nor tampered with. As mentioned before though, you cannot change the caps, reclaim the name on the same account, nor transfer it.
So, if I were you, I would not waste your money trying to transfer the name. If you plan to rotate between two names, you'll have to pick now which one you want to keep and which to discard:
This transfer will fail because the name is deemed inappropriate once again, making it unclaimable.
You will need to pick between a name if you planned to rotate between two. This user won't be able to reclaim Hoarding since it's deemed inappropriate again.
Hope this helped. For some reason, italicize won't turn off, so RIP.
