Why not just create a thread in reputation and announce if you will leave the forum? in case you want to comeback, you need to sign a message from your old address. I think these two things are enough to prove someone ownership.

But, I hope that you're only asking for curiosity, not have a plan to leave...

The forum needs you, because you're one of few merit sources to fairly distribute your sMerit without looking who post it.

so it occurs to me that an AI could be trained on an abandoned users posts to the point of it being able to mimic the original account holder. it could mimic the original account holder to the point of fooling casual inspection.

so to permanently retire an account (mine for example) i thought of asking a bunch of DT1 etc to red paint my account with neg trust and say its toast and done. the object being to make the account useless as to the point its no longer of value.

Although in the issue of faking an original account AI is causing a nuisance but one thing I always say is no matter how the bot is trained to mimic a user an easier give away is the use of natural language, this tool is one way to use to dictate an original account to a fake account.

Your suggestion is quite good but it seems too harsh to me on persons like you. Negative trust is a negative trust a defamation trust to me, why not use the neutral tag instead, or better still admin go extra length to add custom title to the profile like the one on o_e_l_e_o to indicate that the account is retired

any comments welcome
I don't see the problem: if I leave this place, nobody else has access to my account, and nobody else can use it to post.
Besides, I've been called an AI for years, so I'm pretty sure someone's going to notice the firmware change.

but the AI impersonation bit disturbs me as i can see it happening. or am i in tinfoil land again.

any comments welcome

edit: aside from setting up OTP and setting a password to something ridiculous, then destroying them both. i want something that makes the underlying account useless for taking over in the 1st place.
