Yeah click the move button on the bottom left and move it to meta, the admins and mods are there who can decide if you need a name change or not...
Standard users won't be able to help on this because we don't know what the admins are after.
How do I contact a mod or admin?
You are free to use any username you want, however, the name is kind of impersonation. xSatoshi = Ex Satoshi which means you are the former user Satoshi. I do not have a problem with your account name although. May be no one else will have too.
You can move it to meta section to get better response.
Thanks, I didn't know I could move it nor did I really know the appropriate section.
Yes, that is what I don't want, I didn't even think to consider x->ex
I guess we'll see what people think, I don't know if bypassing the filter is against the rules either.
I am new to BitcoinTalk and when I registered, I was blocked and it had said I couldn't register a user, because apparently Satoshi was a reserved name.
What exact error message did you get, AFAIK, there is no block on any username, except it has previously been used by someone else
it's likely someone tried to use that name already on the forum, hence you needed to find another variation of it.
Your current username is fine, but to avoid issues of impersonation, you could request a user to give you a neutral feedback on your profile, stating that you have no ties to the pseudonym
satoshi, using this thread as a reference.
The exact error message was something along the lines of
"The username Satoshi is reserved."
Or very similar
How do I go about requesting that feedback?
