Here's a simple solution: Give users the ability to change their own user names. That way if a mod messes with you and changes your name, you can just change it back. No harm, no foul, no "leaving forever" thread.
I know this is possible with vBulletin, as I was a member of another vBulletin site that provided this feature.
For what it's worth, I understand why Amnorix was annoyed, but he over-reacted on an epic scale.
And the name "Asterix" was pure genius.
My name was changed a couple of years ago under similar circumstances. I politely asked a mod to change it back. He did.
