Sorry if this is in the wrong spot. Could any of the admins and mods help me with something? I wish to permanently change my username to SamuraiNinjaDragon, but you are only allowed to fix spelling errors. Another option would be create a new account with a different email, but I am almost sure it's against the forum rules and I can't do that. And there's no way to delete your account on this site. What do I do? This was a username I had when I was a fan of Bleach years ago when I first made the account. And I thought the new username would be much cooler and better looking. Please help. :/
Any suggestions and advice is welcome, but please don't be rude about it. (the forum rules apply here too by the way )
Thanks in advance for the help!

In the upper right-hand corner is your user name. Click on it. Everything else should be self-explanatory.

As I said before, I can't change my name completely because it's against one of the rules. When I go to click on "change username", it says I can only tweak it a little bit. Here's proof:

You know, FMABleach, making a new account is tacitly allowed if:
1): you are not trying to avoid a ban, which you're obviously not,
and
2): you never use the old account again
I've seen plenty of people make new accounts, even well-known users who'd already made thousands of posts. And heck, if you'd made one without telling anyone then nobody would've even known.
You've made a measly ninety-one posts in six full years of being on the site. I don't think anyone is going to mind if you make a new account.

1. Right
2. Agreed. I see some old posts of mine from many years ago that I'm not proud of at all >____< wow I wasn't very mature back then in some of those posts. Ugh....it burns. Luckily, it was only a small number of my 90+ posts.
Oh, I guess I didn't know that. Here, I was trying to make sure I didn't break any of the rules (it's best that I don't get on any of the admins and mods' bad side, right? ^^). Yes, it's true. I guess for years, I wasn't really all that active. I hope that I can be more active with a new account (if my busy schedule allows it).
I just wanted to make sure that I wouldn't be breaking a rule if I went with making a new account. I thought it would be good to start fresh with a new account and a new look. While it would be sad to say bye to almost 100 posts, it will probably motivate me to be more active and this time make more mature posts and what not.
If it really is ok with the admins and mods, I'll go for it.
Thanks nbahn and especially you dtm42 for your replies and thanks again to you dtm42 for your words of wisdom and kind words. I can now make a new account without fearing a ban for doing so. I never broke a rule on this forum before, so I admit I was nervous about doing this. Thanks again, guys!
This is FMABleach's final comment on this account.
My new account will be SamuraiNinjaDragon!
NOTE TO MODS AND ADMINS!!!
Please lock this thread since the question has been answered. If you wish to also delete this thread, go for it. Thanks.
