I agree, why not have this option. Right now your only option is to tell them it's somehow copywritten and they will give you an option to rename it then. It happened to me.

even if your the original leader, after a while you might want to change a single word but cant so having the ability to chnage it would be good.
i suggest to have the rename option available once every 30 days tho, to make people think of the name instead of a rush job- plus the 30 days option can run nicely with the default kick time for the main leader
I agree with you. I really dont foresee this being much of a technical issue as it simply involves the deletion and addition of names much like how we rename characters.
@Turbo_Starr
I agree with the OP. I would gladly pay money for this option. I know a few people that would be happy with this as well.
On a side note, I've sent an email to support for this, of which they replied that they can't do this and just suggested me to post a thread here.
The only - I don't even want to call it an objection, more an issue - I see with it is having it done without the input of the rest of the SG. Yes, we have the "red star," but really, that doesn't' mean even a majority of the SG would agree. Being able to show some percentage of the active (accounts on in the last 60 days, say) membership agreeing (or at least not disagreeing) to the change would be a nice check on this.
Other than that one point, /signed.

While I personally think this is a very valid objection, I hate to say that I think that the devs created the Super Leader position so the GM's/CS could distance themselves from internal SG politics.|

When they first announced the new rank they told us that the person with the red star is the defacto owner of the SG and pretty much has carte blanche.

I also need this for my hero SG.
I'd support this option myself. At the moment I'm happy with the names of all my SG's but this is a nice QoL addition.

I was originally against the idea of the relatively new "Super Leader" SG rank being added to the game. I still don't like it very much in general. But one thing the Super Leader rank should make very easy to do is a SG rename. Now that there's only one person who has absolute control over a SG it makes perfect sense that person should have the ability to rename a SG whenever he/she wants.
I actually assumed that we were getting the Super Leader rank precisely in order to make things like SG renames possible to do. Why we don't have SG renames yet seems almost weird to me.

I don't see any harm in it.

Well, yeah, I suppose there could be the rare occasions of some guild leader going off his rocker and renaming "The Incredibles" to "LolIlikecats" then ragequitting. That would at least (hopefully) be easily reversible by a gm petition unless you had something else in mind.

Another example is that there is a certain infamous SG on Virtue that makes a habit of inviting low level characters to teams in PI then hits them with SG invites and if they don't agree to join the SG they strand them in PI.

Where does the naming thing come into the first one? That guys name should effectively soiled after that so changing the SG name shouldn't do him much good. (Though in cases like that I'd personally love to see him be forced to turn the SG over to the highest rank he kicked =P)|

And remind me to not stroll into PI without a supergroup >.>

Many of us have multiple accounts. Personally I have had up to 4 at one time. Multiple accounts make running things like personal SG's easier, and a lot of us don't keep those accounts active all the time, so it's very unlikely that those globals will be known to everyone in an SG.|

That being said, it would be very easy for someone that managed to get the SL star to steal the SG (by kicking everyone), transfer leadership to one of his characters on his alternate account, and change the SG name. He can then quit the SG on his original character, and if asked by former SG mates, claim he quit the SG and that whoever got the SL slot after him is the guilty party.
CS/GM's are not going to get involved because we've been told that SL's are the defacto leaders and are the defacto owners of SG's and can do whatever they want. They also won't discuss the result of any petitions that get filed.
Also just by changing the SG name and using a different character on the same account it's very unlikely that people will recognize him in passing or if they see a recruiting spam in broadcast. We don't play with our global name list open, and we only see stars if we are looking at the character and actually click on notes to see why we 1 starred someone.
And as I said before these scenarios are going to be rare exceptions.
True
I agree with the intent of this suggestion. We need to be able to rename groups.
I also feel that if a group hasnt had activity for over 365 days then the name should become available.
@Turbo_Starr
I know a few people including myself would love to see an SG rename option. I found myself becoming the main leader of a VG after the leader went MIA for over 2 years and the red star was passed onto me. Needless to say we compiled well over 50 million prestige which wouldnt make sense in starting new.
Much like how we have a player rename option, why cant we have an SG rename option? As long as the name is available, we should be able to even if its a $9.99 fee.
