You have made 16 posts. If you want to change your display name, I would recommend that you create a new account. In order to have permissions to change your display name, you need to be a VIP account, and in order to get a VIP account, you need to donate 50BTC, or about $2.6 million at current prices (when this was first offered the price of bitcoin was much lower). Sometimes the forum administration will change your display name at the request of a forum member if they have a compelling reason. I believe that in the past, compelling reasons would include being potentially doxed based on your current display name, being a prominent forum member, making substantial contributions to the community, and similar.

Instead of abandoning the account and creating a new one, why no find a lasting solution to resolved this?
To save mod from all the stress of having to change name request, why not make it open for everyone to be able to change theirs name at their will.

Something like a user will only have access to change name once in 365days!

In addition to DdmrDdmr's comment above, changing the display name opens up the possibility that someone could scam someone under one name, and immediately change their display name to something new. With some research, the culprit could be found, however, it would cause confusion, and may lead to some people giving up and not reporting a scam when dealing with modest amounts.

I get your point and that of and of DdmrDdmr's and Dogepuppy as well, no doubt when you give someone a freewill, in must cases they misused it, it's a natural thing. God gave us a freewill to make decisions for ourselves, it's left for us to decide on what to do with that freewill give to us, be good or bad. The important thing is that God always have he way, since he's the creator, we can't neither run nor hide from him, same thing applied to Bitcointalk users!

What we chose to do with the freewill, like changing of one username, this person can not run nor hide, we can always track them with their Unique generated code assigned to them when they were registering for a bitcointalk account, example my unique code 2842708 even if my change my username, my unique code will not change, hence you can always track me with this code.

In summary, the idea of letting user's be able to change names should be looked upon, let's try new things!
