You are eligible to request your name to be changed if you are UNDER 500 posts.
"The reason for this is because we respect user IDs. You build a reputation here based on your username through your posts and post count. "

From what I understand, they perfectly fill the prerequisite.

They do not fall under the prerequisite for rule number 1. If you have 500 posts, don't bother asking. The reason for this is its easy to recreate accounts and get back up to their 40 posts. The Team Liquid mods are not going to waste their time, especially on people with less than 40 posts.

They may fit one prerequisite but they do not fit the other one. They do not need their name changed through admin powers. Just recreate an account.

Are you able to read? You are not allowed to get a name change if you have MORE THAN 500 posts. You can ONLY get a name change if you have LESS than 500 posts. You are wrong and have been corrected numerous times already, yet you continue telling people completely incorrect information. The OP is written in pretty clear english and they reference the 500 post rule more than once in different ways.

There is a perfectly valid reason why someone with less than 40 posts would need their name changed and would not want to make a new account, like the 3 month wait-period for stream applications. If I wanted a new name I would have to make the account, wait THREE MONTHS, then re-apply for the stream listing. This thread was probably created specifically to accommodate streamers who needed name changes because of this exact scenario.

If you're going to call people out why don't you take the time to read and understand the OP yourself?
