Hi,
I am tomfoolery from
lbc,
bitcoin-otc,icbit, etc. The user account tomfoolery
here 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.

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.
