One of the things I appreciate here is that the forum is not regulated to the hilt, while still being moderated in a sane manner. People don't need an extensive rulebook to know what flies and what doesn't, just a modicum of common sense. I don't think I've seen an exception so far.

I haven't seen screen names as having been an issue of note in my time here, so I don't see any need for special provisions.

The simplest way to deal with it - and avoids issues which could otherwise arise.

I was alerted to one case of someone changing their screen name after a fracar years ago, at the time I did not realise it was possible. So i messaged Dave and pointed out that it was something we should disable if possible as if abused as seen once it could cause a lot of confusion and make sorting things out harder. So he disabled it. I have had maybe 5 requests since to change name and have agreed to all as they were perfectly reasonable. The actual log in username will always remain the same unless and admin changes it as in the case of this thread and i expect we would do that only for a situation like this where it wanted changing right at the start and requires admin powers anyway to delete the account created in error.

Indeed. I was once in the top-10 contributors on arduino.cc forum, but I bailed out because of harassment and complete lack of moderation due to high volume and essentially non-existent management. The harasser finally got bored and disappeared, but I was gone by then.
I appreciate the level of moderation here. There are a few individuals here who I don't understand how the moderators tolerate, but as long as I can ignore them I'm good. Happy New Year, everybody.
