Why not just create an account with that name and use it?

Maybe I should and maybe thats the way Ill go if there is no alternative. But would be nice to keep my existing few posts to retain consistency.

Because the forum guidelines do not allow multiple accounts.

Quote:
9. Multiple Accounts
Do not create multiple accounts. Do not create new accounts to circumvent moderator action, conceal your identity, or for other purposes. Additional accounts may be permitted for technical reasons - please contact a moderator or admin beforehand if you believe this applies to you.

Maybe it is better to contact an admin directly. I remember that our member "Marcel Grünauer" once asked to change his user name (I forgot his old user name). IIRC the admin who did the renaming was Joaz Banbeck.

I did not realize that. I guess I am used to go servers.

To be technical, if they are guidelines then they do not ban multiple accounts. If they do ban them then they are rules.

I’ve already reported your opening post, typohh, so that the admins would notice, and said that your wish should be fulfilled, it’s Christmas after all ;-)

[admin]

Alternate accounts are usually deleted immediately up discovery. The only exception is when it is an honest mistake, we may delay so that information can be transferred. ( FWIW, that is probably what we would have done here had the OP started a second account )

The core account is usually not banned for creating the second account. But it can happen.

Perceived intent weighs heavily in these matters.
