I am open to ideas if anyone has any (if resetting 98789's password is the way to go, I would at least like to read some sort of consensus that that won't cause additional "shadiness" to this process). Thank you to anyone commenting, especially the ones who are actually contributing (giving ideas and at least reading/paying attention to what I write).

You are overthinking all this.

Regarding the concensus you basically already have it as many members told you that nothing will happen if you wake up your old account, unless you start doing some dodgy stuff mentioned before. The more you continue this drama, the more people might get suspicious.

Everything is somehow confusing. Was your account hacked or sold?

The long and somewhat distracting story is also confusing to me but I think he's indirectly claiming he owns the account to the forum moderators and other members. It is only possible to verify your bitcoin address account by signing your bitcoin address account, which you are not able to provide anymore, and the forum moderator is extremely strict about it.

I was thinking you could tag my old account referencing this? I would prefer/thank you if the tag is neutral, as I never scammed anyone and I would not want to see my old account in red as scammers are tagged.

I am not tagging anyone for anything without seeing some proof, and I don't really care who the member is.

All the reasons you mentioned sounds like bs to me.
Merit is not that important, even less important is what other people think about your account activity, unless you purchased an account.
You could easily change email address for original account, for this you would literally spend only few minutes.

rambling navel gazing

Incorrect.

I am DT 1.

If you want to bury your head in the sand, then that is your failing.

Do more research.

I have seen some people spend time finding alts and then making drama about it, for that I wanted to avoid being involved in such a situation in the future. I would rather have the drama right now, at the beginning of tg9's life, than in a couple of months and maybe having to deal with someone claiming that I am a scammer just because of an alt (if someone said "tg9 is an alt of 98789" I would have no issues acknowledging so, which is what I proactively tried to do here).

If you dont share merit/trust between your accounts and if you don't join the same signature campaign/bounty campaign you will be fine even if someone finds you having alts.

The alternative would be posting multiple answers one after the other, but that would make this thread grow unnecessarily.

Fyi you can answer multiple members in the same post, no need to make consecutive posts for each answer (that is also against forum rules).

Edit: I just got pissed off, recovered 98789 and will be putting it to rest (I will change its email to not be associated to it and I will remove as many posts as I can). I guess this unequivocally proves that I was not lying, but I do not care anymore. This will be my last time in this forum. Feel free to remove the neutral feedback if you want, or tag it in red if you prefer. Thank you for the last time to the (few) ones that did provide ideas.

Nice. you should have done that before opening this useless discussion. If you are afraid that you have left some personal information or anything compromising, I advise you to go through your post history and private messages now (you have access to the account) and delete everything that you think could be risky.
Now lock this topic, it has fulfilled its purpose.

Op has also deleted all posts they've ever made with this "new" uid, so no need to review the distrust I have in them.

Lol. User 98789 is a Newbie again. OP forgot to remove the avatar.
What's with the dramatic responses when someone asks to prove what you say?

[FatFork]

OP, fyi, I edited my trust, as I said I would. I must say, I'm not exactly thrilled that you jump to the rant station, mention names, and then delete everything before I have a chance to respond.

I'm sorry you're disappointed, but I'm not sure what you really expected to happen here.  As you could have noticed, only a few members were actually interested in this discussion and spent time reading through your walls of text. If nothing else, you should respect that.

From the very beginning, everyone advised you on what steps to take,  and that we can't just accept your word without valid evidence. Using accounts on other platforms can't be considered sufficient proof, and, as you mentioned yourself, those accounts can change names or be hacked and what not. In this community, the only acceptable proofs are either posting with your old account or signing a previously used wallet address. I'm sure you'd appreciate that if the situation were reversed, someone falsely claiming of being your alt account.

But you were persistent and ignored all the advice which ultimately led to your current frustration. Now that you've reactivated your old account, you'll see that none of the negative predictions will come to pass, no one will tag your account for no reason, which will prove you were wrong.
