Title: release of inactive username/username change request Post by: merakicoin on March 31, 2014, 12:13:50 AM Hi,
I am tomfoolery from lbc (https://localbitcoins.com/p/tomfoolery), bitcoin-otc (http://bitcoin-otc.com/viewratingdetail.php?nick=tomfoolery),icbit, etc. The user account tomfoolery here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=150375) never posted and has been inactive since November 30, 2013, 09:32:02 PM. There is a potential for abuse here. Just earlier there was a guy(seemechine) "nick squatting" and trying to scam people using that name on freenode in #bitcoin-otc and #bitcoin. Quote [04:21] tomfooleryLBC is ~tomfooler@unaffiliated/tomfoolerylbc * Thomas Johnson [10:36] tomfoolery is ~RibbertJa@50-199-115-173-static.hfc.comcastbusiness.net * seemechine [18:00] tomfoolery is ~Azaye@6532224hfc82.tampabay.res.rr.com * seemechine I was able to get freenode to release the nick tomfoolery to me and I set enforce on to prevent this again. If someone were able to get access to that inactive account here they could hit a few people using my name before they were found out. Is it possible for bitcointalk to release the inactive account to me or change my username? I don't mind going through any reasonable verification steps to prove I am tomfoolery from the accounts above.

Title: Re: release of inactive username/username change request Post by: BitcoinEXpress on April 01, 2014, 08:18:00 PM I am all for permabanning user names that are scamming by impersonation. I am strongly against "releasing" inactive user names. Satoshi is a prime example. But none that matters since this forum isn't run by a consensus, ;) ~BCX~ Title: Re: release of inactive username/username change request Post by: merakicoin on April 01, 2014, 09:11:30 PM I am all for permabanning user names that are scamming by impersonation.

I am hoping to get the username so that I can keep things normalized between the various exchanges and communities. I went yesterday and registered accounts under tomfoolery at litecointalk/local and doges as well as several other exchanges. I am hoping to prevent anyone from stealing from people in my name and my rep I've been working my ass off to build.
