It's not just about government problems, when more information about you is in public, the chances to get a problem is so much bigger.


Yes, the internet never forgets, but there is a big difference about having your name associated to cryptocurrencies in a google search and with a search of your name in cached websites.

And I thought about using this case as a lesson and give up of my username, but sometimes a action like changing the username is simpler and a enough decision.

First of all, I want make it clear that this is a alt account created by a banned account (which I want to leave it anonymous if possible) and this is not a ban appeal.

Mostly if someone wants to change his username you will have to pay 50 BTC to become a donator and gain the permission to change your username as you want.

But the problem with it is that the username is something very powerful when talking about privacy because if you have the same username for a lot of services it will be easy to link all accounts to you, and this forum is not a exception.

Now, talking to my situation: I created my original account more than two years ago, when I didn't expected that the cryptocurrencies could turn into a serious political discussion as it is today, and as I usually do I just created the account with my username that I use in a lot of other services. Now, for personal and even security reasons I don't want to have a account with my username related to a forum about cryptocurrencies anymore, so what Im asking for the forum is to have some option to disassociate a username of a account.

I know that deleting a account with all posts could create serious problems with old posts, but this is still the best option for someone to conserve the privacy. And if deleting account is not a option I would ask for simple options such as the ability to disable the account and turn the username to random characters for example, I know that will still have "evidences" of the account if someone typed the username in another post, but this could be better than nothing...

*Please, I sent some medsages to the staff asking for the same thing and I sent my old username to you, so if it's possible don't post my username here.

*Sorry for my bad English.
