After counting these names individually, 128,000 Robux.

Why would anyone do this?

I need this so bad, if this becomes a feature they shouldnā€™t make it paid for sure.

Bumping this!

I know this is off topic but you should also be able to hide your profile itself from specific players or it should automatically hide your profile from people whom you have blocked.

honestly i dont even know why they keep past usernames taken

ive been looking for a new username, one really good one was taken by a user who had changed their username to something else, its just mildly infuriating

Thatā€™s because it is to prevent people abusing username system to impersonate you as old name.

theres only a handful of people who are both famous enough to be impersonated and have a fanbase that can be fooled by an impersonator, and those people dont really change their username much anyway, so i dont see why the entire platform has to deal with it

Roblox is the only mainstream platform that ties you to your old usernames with no way to remove or hide them. If enough people express their opinion on this, they will have to acknowledge it at some point.

i agree if iā€™m honest with you,

there are some people who got doxxed in the past or such and want to get rid of such identity;
plus and if we are talking about moderation, user ids exist afterall yā€™know

To prevent impersonation.

They should give us the ability to hide past names. I would give people the ability to pick and choose what past names they want displayed. But they absolutely should not free past usernames, unless someone releases the name; that could also be a good feature.

this is a very important update for privacy and should be implemented

oh and one of my past usernames appears in a data breach so thatā€™s fun ;-;

We really need this. Itā€™s long overdue.

Bump, been wanting this for years.

If implemented- I think it would still be good to be able to find people by their hidden names in user search.

We need this feature. Thereā€™s already a million replies about why.

This should definitely be a thing. Some people have previous usernames that either have personal info they wish to hide, or maybe regret making some and no longer want to be associated with those usernames. No other platform ties your account to all of your previous usernames, and USER IDā€™s already exist for moderation purposes.
