I would argue that anyone looking to "start over" with a name change should do exactly that. Start from the beginning, no rank, no merit, no post history. Don't try to hide who you were.
Yeah but what about those sweet sweet sig campaign satoshis... it would take MONTHS to get back to that level LOL
Am I missing something as to why 1 would need a name change? From what I read on his DT case he got caught plagiarizing, he deleted lots of old threads, not sure if caught in lies but the point is now with the name change it feels like he is trying to hide the past.
There might be legitimate privacy reasons for a username change and in this case the username was a Russian last name, may or may not have been his real name, but I guess plausible enough to make an appeal to theymos to change it.
The timing of it though... no issues with bearing that username for years, now a "privacy" issue
