I guess you need to revisit your list and ask the users for their consent to be on this list.

Some names are not included, by request.

I think I overlooked your notes, looks like you already did the exercise if so then well done.

If by mistake, include someone who didn't want that kind of situation. I am fully available to review this situation.
My intention was not to expose anyone in a negative way, just to do a comparative analysis.

Any inconvenience, I am fully available by PM to deal with the situation.

People have reasons that's why they will change their username and it could be privacy related or just for fun.

Whatever the reason, I guess if the username change is not announced publicly by the user or admin himself we should not be bringing it to the public.

Igebotz and The Sceptical Chymist have discussed it publicly but others are new to me.

Here is a take from theymos on discussing username changes

Quote from: theymos on January 13, 2020, 12:46:57 AM

Why are you guys posting the old names of people who clearly needed their names changed for privacy reasons? Obviously any data posted online is going to be quickly archived somewhere, but that doesn't mean that your highlighting/reposting of it has no effect. In some cases you may literally be putting lives in danger. If you were investigating a scam or something, that'd be different, but you seem to just be indiscriminately & recklessly dredging up data that would best be forgotten.

I guess you need to revisit your list and ask the users for their consent to be on this list.

Even though i never expected this to be possible am it surprised me seeing a number of isers now getting into this change of username of a thing, it's getting common and more frequent and i hope Theymos does not create rules to reduce the rate and tendencies whereby members take advantage of applying for it, also i believe changing a username should come in with a particular reason for doing so, not because others are doing it or one feels it should be changed since he forum never suggested any before at the point of registration, it's an individual decision and choice in selecting one, which i believe if left this way people will continue to increase in number of applicant for a change of name.

Some notes:
I don't know exactly when the change took place, but it must have been between September and December 2022.

I think this member changed his name a long time ago, because I'm pretty sure he was under the new name at the beginning of last year as well. Besides, I don't think that anyone can just avoid being associated with their old name, so I don't believe that a thread like this threatens someone's privacy. Those who want complete privacy can get it by creating a new profile and taking all measures to hide their true identity. There are at least 10-15 members who have changed their names over the years, so even though a lot of time has passed, every time I see their profiles I remember that they used to have a different name.

Had to check it several times to understand what had changed between old and new username lol .
That's a weird name change in my opinion and for sure it wasn't due to privacy concern, really curious on the reason.

I detected 11 name changes.

Not all users in the list changed display name in 2023. Your title is not relevant.

I agree that this topic should not be made because of privacy of others. Even you delete or edit it now, there are scrapers did their tasks already. Don't make it at beginning is better.

Just a heads up: There's a chance that some people might've requested a username change for privacy purposes, and such threads kind of defeats the purpose of the name change.

If this happened, first of all I apologize.
I am available via PM for any adjustments to the topic.

That's quite a lot, in past change of Bitcointalk username was rare thing.

It seems to have been, but then again I don't know how many members have requested their usernames be changed and how many requests have been denied. From what Theymos told me, all I had to do to get mine changed was to be persistent and remind him periodically--I don't know if that applies to everyone or not, but I'm guessing it's probably easier to get a name change than one would think.

Had Igebotz not just sent me a PM I wouldn't have known he was igehhh previously--so thank you OP for creating this thread. I wasn't aware of the other name changes at all except my own.

I know this depends on the admins. But what are the requirements and acceptable reasons why a change name request is accepted, maybe @theymos or @Cyrus or mods can give a hint.

Maybe Cyrus would weigh in, but I doubt Theymos is going to. And I think it's the latter who's making decisions as far as name changes go. Also, I don't think it's that big of a deal since Cryptovator got his changed twice in a fairly short period of time.

Interesting!
I'm curious now what's the process or how to request to change your username.
Is there any factor to consider?

I think the question should be asked the other way around.
What reasons does a user have to change their username? Is it because you feel your privacy is at stake? I think the current name is the result of an "identity theft"?

Anyway, I think that the argument that the user uses to make that request has more weight, instead of the criteria that the admins may have.

I don't think I need a change -- atleast not for now cus I guess it' looks cool on me yunno.

Sounds like your username is your used name irl, so for me, i would think to change it later on for security reason, but that's just me.

Everyone has a reason for a name change.... yeah

Yeah, if that's for security reasons, we need to respect them and IMO, if my username changed, I don't want to disclose who I am in the past. Cheesy

Because it's useless changing your name if everyone knows who you are, not unless you want to change your username for the brand name of your company.

Goodnight, ohh Leo!!! 🦅

Everyone has a reason for a name change.... yeah
I had that experience from when I got registered a year or two ago; at some point, I was confused which display name to use... Not until I came out with a resolution on my current name..
I don't think I need a change -- atleast not for now cus I guess it' looks cool on me yunno. The former problem gets peeps even more perplexed that they'll have to use something that sounds very awkward, with an intensions to change 'em afterwards.
I thought there was a way an individual could make a name change -- way back in my rookie days -- that'll only cause some trust disruptions ....alot of disadvantages yunno. You did a nice job dude

Well, well, seems holiday spirit is positive around here, admins starting to care more and more about these cases, maybe they should put aside their decrimination towards some green troll and give him the 4 years long waited user name change, *I promise to behave and be a good helping member of the forum given the chance of course.

*= when some one promises and you ignore them just because a distrust, that would affect the person deeply, thinking nobody values them, and you might wanna research about serial killers and criminals and their life histories, people treated them similarly in a way. Not implying that I will lose it, just saying that if you show love, you'll receive love in return whether from the person or the universe (God). Karma law.

But I think that you missed The Cryptovator. It's unique case because he changed his username twice and IIRC recent change was in 2022.

In recent weeks we have detected that some users have changed their name.
So I decided to find out who made these changes. With the help of some data from LoyceV, which I had already saved, along with new data, I come to present a quick list of who made this change.

I detected 11 name changes. Here they are:

_________________________	_________________________
Old Username	New Username
Nekrobios	N12
deego	fgmnp
glassuser	atomium
m0gliE	mOgliE
mfort312	RejectedBanana
Spondoolies-Tech	Guy Corem
The Pharmacist	The Sceptical Chymist
iwantapony	Murat
DroomieChikito	Chikito
#BitcoinCore	Forsyth Jones
igehhh	Igebotz

Some notes:
I don't know exactly when the change took place, but it must have been between September and December 2022.
There may have been some more changes that I couldn't detect based on the data I had available.
Some names are not included, by request.
