I've found out that the ability to change your own display name has been gone.
Not only that, the ability to change your own custom title has also disappeared.

Even though I think I can guess why, I'll ask: Why did this actually happen?
 
You can't edit your name anymore because everyone was abusing the shit out of the function. Not sure about the custom title though.
 
I just changed my custom title, so it may have been. Is yours still uneditable?

Was it thought of to impose an automated time limit?

Like 90 days (I'm not joking)
 
No. I would tell you I'll consider it but I hate name changing with a passion so no, I won't even consider it.
 
I'm not objected to getting rid of name changes but I didn't consider any of mine harmful since I always had my name in my sig or member title (except on April Fools)
 
If the mods were that annoyed with the name changing, they could've at least warned us first, or ask us to tone it down, or make one of those "ATTN" topics. Just saying. :-\
 
I think there would be at least a "X times a month" limit, so you can, for example, only change your name 3 times every month.
IP.Board has this feature, but I'm not sure about SMF, though.
The removal of name changing caught me on it, because Jeff pointed that out.

Yes, there is no option for custom titles anymore (and it's not even findable in any Profile Settings).
