Editing of Community Username

MSStateDawg

Allow users to change their community profile username with the change being in a pending status until reviewed and approved by admins.

Users can't possibly know all of the other issued UserIDs ... only the Mods  can see that. Which is why, currently, you need to send your desired new UserID to a Mod to get it reviewed and approved.

Presumptuous.

I never said the user would need to know existing usernames, reserved words, or otherwise. [Removed - Speculation] Though I'm certain the quite capable web devs at Quicken would have thought of this on their own, I'll explain.

When a user would enter a new username there would be a link or button called Check Availability. This functionality is present currently on countless other websites. It's not a new concept.

I hope you have a better day.

Have you spent much time in software or web app development?

@MSStateDawg FYI, the code for this website isn't developed by "the quite capable web devs at Quicken". Rather, it is commercial software from a company called Vanilla Forums. The many limitations of this website are attributable to them, not Quicken. As a customer of Vanilla, Quicken can and does submit requests for feature changes, but Quicken doesn't control the development of the platform features.
