I just realized users can change both nickname and display name. On my website, this can be used to manipulate giveaways. If someone wins the prize and doesn't claim it, a user can just change his name to the username of the winner. Is there a way to stop users from changing this info?

Thank you

It's rather disappointing that simple fundamental things like these are not built in already but ok. Thanks.
