If BoB wanted their identity back why didn't they use the name BoB reloaded in the first place? If they made the decision to join the Kenzoku alliance to get sov1 back immediately they should be held to stick with that decision and not get to change their name to bob reloaded on a whim by breaking the rules

it's a name
little ASCII characters that mean absolutely nothing in terms of the game.
actually they mean quite a bit. the reason bob chose kenzoku was because they could get sov1 back immediately. if they really wanted to be Bob reloaded so much they should have made that alliance and faced the consequences: no immediate sov and the advantages that came with it
now they get to change their name without paying alliance fee, without losing the remaining sov they have...obviously it does have in-game effects

The entire alliance was changed, it's not as if kenny was replaced by beaver, it's still just a name change.
the thing is, that when you look down at it all... it's. just. a. name.
a. name. which. has. effects. in. game. with. respect. to. sovereignity.
if they cared about their identity so much they should've created bob reloaded in the first place, they didn't and chose to use the alt alliance kenzoku which made sense strategically for sov reasons. they chose sov over 'identity', it was their decision
now they're getting preferential treatment to change their name on a whim that no other alliance has ever gotten, keeping their remaining sov while being allowed to change their name. it is absolute bull****

I had my corperation name changed through petition long before this. I accidently misspelled the name i wanted and I petitioned it within minutes of creating the corperation, and it was changed by a GM within 30minutes.
So I do not support this.
in what crazy world is 'kenzoku' a misspelling of 'band of brothers reloaded' ?

No alliance has had thier name changed, however many corps and characters have.
The thing is, this situation has never happened before, where an alliance wanted to change thier name.
'stian' empire (or 'stian' alliance, can't remember which) made a typo and wanted to change their alliance name to stain empire/alliance. they had to disband and remake it because ccp wouldn't let them

BoB was crippled by borderline abuse/exploit of game mechanics or lack thereof and they went through proper channels when they realised that the old name had been "reserved" by another party.
They could have made a new alliance called bob reloaded if they cared so much about their identity, they did not. They chose an already existing alt alliance to join called Kenzoku to give them sov advantage in Delve. They made their decision, they should have to live with it and not break the rules everyone else has to follow.

You can't refute any point made so you whine about alts instead
