Hey Everyone, I signed up for the board mid 'senior moment" and wound up with my email displaying as my handle. I suspect that I will need help from one of the Mod's. Can this account have the username changed or could you delete this account and let me create a new account with a safer username??? Yes, I am stupid.... Just in case there was any doubt...... Thank you. S.

Lol if its your email then you'd exactly get much spam to it everyday. But if its just your throw away email, you are good as it doesn't matter. You're not the only one who has this kind of username by theway.
I'm not sure if the mods can help about it, its got to be the admin who has read, write access to board database.

Edit; Quote deleted
Afaik, your username cannot be changed, but your display name can be by the admin. This means you'll still use your original name to log in and it would also come up in searches.
Message theymos with your request and the reason for it. There's no guarantee you'll be attended to, but you can take the chance, especially if privacy is your concern. You can also move onto another account with a name of your choice, but deleting an account is not possible.

It seems difficult to change the name as you want even though the mod can meet your requirements but this is not very important to it so it will likely be ignored by the mod. But you can try what many suggest.
I don't know whether this account can be deleted or not because what I know is that most accounts in bans are not deleted so just leave it, it doesn't matter dude with your email name and don't use this mail as the main because it will get lots of spam coming to you can make a new email in the main.

Edit: Deleted quote.Try to PM the Administrators ( theymos, Cyrus) to see if they can delete your account, or change the username (which is very infrequent). Specify clearly that you messed up by placing your email as the user name. These petitions are seldom attended, but it may be worth a try in this case. Regardless, you may need to change your email if it is tied to any account that you have any appreciation for (crypto related for example), and certainly don’t ask for it to be your forum account’s associated email.

Yes, the Administrator can change your username or delete your account. but it almost impossible even for many established users who request that and got ignored. The user also possibly changes his username if Donate 50 BTC. In a suggestion of the post above, better to change or close your email.

You can find answers for your question with Search or in my topic List of Answered Suggestions. Please don't create topics before read them all!Only VIP members can send get privilege to change username but in past 2 years, theymos is more softly and accept username change request from non-VIP members. You can try and have prob to get acceptance if you are good members and have due diligent reasons to change your username. Delete Account, change username

There is no chance that you will change your username instead you will ask the moderators to help you out but there is no assurance that they will help you immediately.
My advice: create a new account. I don't think you will get your handle changed. If OP will change the account the previous account must be tagged as an alt of OP to prevent getting issues in future. Don't worry OP just a neutral tag as for reference this is your alt account.

The admin should make a difference for each case, here we talk about a new member (so no risk for any bad effect) and not a legendary/known user. 50BTC fee applied when 1BTC perhaps was $5 or less otherwise I would be surprised anyone would pay this nowadays

I don't know if the name can be changed but you can try to ask those people who you think can do some changes like the admins. Maybe they can do something about it. If not, then just let it be. I mean, if that email is not connected to anything valuable like your wallet or other things, you can use that as your name here. You'll most probably receive emails though. But you can always mark them as spam if they're not important.
Well, this is just a suggestion. Decision's still yours.

No, you won't get any answer if you pm any moderators, since it's not a way to contact theymos to change your username. Done. Now only moderators, Donators, and VIP members can change their names automatically. Other members should contact me. I'll probably ignore your request if you have less than 50 posts (unless your posts are very good).
You must pm to theymos by yourself. Actually what's the problem create new account as OP just still newbie? If OP afraid someone will spam or hack his email, he shouldn't create this thread earlier. But since it's too late, i hope OP strenghten his email password and don't click any suspicous link from any random email he received later. I don't know if the name can be changed but you can try to ask those people who you think can do some changes like the admins.
Yes our account name can be changed, few of them already changed. Read few posts above and you will find 2 ways to change our account name.

Best case scenario is to lock the thread and bury it. Whether they get the account name changed or create an alt, it doesn't change the email from having spread: perhaps it would be good to create a new email exclusively for bitcointalk? and if possible, apply to each website.

Oh, and make sure you protect this email on your username with strong password and 2FA security.

We have seen a few days before admin changed a few user display names based on requests. But they are the best contributors to the forum. I don't think the admin will allow you to change your username since you aren't one of them who spend their time contributing to the forum. So, as suggested by other users, it's better to create a new account if you aren't evading the ban. For that, you will not have to request admin or moderators.

These petitions are seldom attended, but it may be worth a try in this case.
I requested a name change a few months back by PM'ing Theymos directly, and I got no response. I seriously doubt Theymos would let OP change his username given that he just registered two days ago. Just create a new account, OP. And maybe request that Theymos delete the current one. If Theymos doesn't delete your account, just don't log into the one that has your e-mail in it and eventually it'll fade away--and hopefully you won't be bombarded with spam. Good luck.

The quickest and easiest way is to just delete all the posts made by this account, abandon it and create a new account. No one will care about a newbie account with zero posts even in your case.

Its possible that your name will be get changed and we have seen that a few times for some Users and Accounts ! Just write a PM to theymos that you would changed the Username or try to contact Support for hacked/lost accounts ! I guess they can also handle some kind of things and also there is Cyrus that maybe can change the name as well if there is a important reason for. Good Luck with that

Now that the OPs request has been granted, there is no need for additional commentary as to what the OP needs to do to get his username changed.
