Question Regarding Deleting LinuxMusicians Account

Post by Shortstop »

Hey there,

I wanted to change my username, but it doesn't look like its possible and I only have 1 email address.

Is it possible for the administrators to delete my account so that I can create a new account with a new username?

Thanks.

Deleting your account and creating a new one is a lot of work just to change your username to "Shortstop". You may as well go big. Change it to "JesusGodAndUniverseCreator".

Lol.

But really, is there an easy way to change my username?

I can't figure out how to do this.

God forbid a prospective employer of raboof should ever google him, and read about him here. I've pretty much trashed his reputation. So far, I've depict him as:

A blackmailer
A drag queen
A drunk
A male escort
A ex-convict
A nun molester
A nazi author

And that's just the past month. Judging by that list of accomplishments, you could describe him as a "jack of all trades" -- but only until next week's operation when he'll finally be a "jane of all trades".

But before anyone accuses me of being mentally deranged, note that I've been thanked over 50 times for this crap, which is more than raboof has been thanked for running the board, so obviously there are plenty of lunatics here.
