I don't care about hacking, I don't cross-use passwords, I don't want just anyone to Google my handle and find out I'm a member. It's a pretty gross negligence on the part of admins (I doubt accounts CAN'T be deleted, as far as I know the software this board runs on is capable of it) to not respect the privacy of its' users, especially when it comes to the fact that several authorities connect anyone associated with any crypto talk with illegal activities.

If you're so worried about whatever entity Googling you and find out that you're part of this forum, then why didn't you sign up here with whatever other handle? As per the rules (aside from the fact whether or not it's possible to delete accounts within the forum's tool set) it's simply impossible to get your account deleted.

Could someone at least change my handle, then? To literally anything other than this? Please?

In your case -- requesting to change your handle can only be done through donating 10 BTC where you'll be upgraded to donator, and from there you can succeed in getting your handle changed.

Because I don't see into the future and couldn't know that in 5 years law enforcement in various countries will see people who used what was just a cool tech thing as potential terrorists? Sorry I'm not an oracle. This is a pretty serious fail on the site's part, how do you run a service that's been linked to illegal crap in the past and not let people back out?
