Can you change your Facepunch username or delete your account?
30 replies, posted
Hi all, I'm just wondering if you can you change your Facepunch username or delete your account?
you used to be able to change your name for $20 (not sure but i think it was $20) but it's been disabled
you can't delete your account but you can request a ban by PMing [url=http://facepunch.com/showgroups.php]a moderator[/url] or just making a thread about it
but why would you want to delete your account?

by the way, requested bans are usually permanent (don't do it)
I don't, i just want to change my username on it. I was asking to see if i could delete it so i could make a new one.
just create a new account, [url=http://facepunch.com/login.php?do=logout]click here[/url] to log out and [url=http://www.facepunch.com/register.php]click here[/url] to register
Ok.
you can't delete posts
+ you don't really have to, this thread won't get you banned if that's what you mean

[QUOTE=elixwhitetail;44487145]Before you do that, you should probably ask a mod to pban this account, as you're not allowed to have multiple accounts. Explain that you don't want this one, or ask if you can get a name change instead (since it's now removed from Boostar, you don't have the option normally) of having to make a second account.
Just creating the second one without anything is going to complicate things unnecessarily, be proactive about going to the mods instead of waiting for them to find it.[/QUOTE]
there's no rule against having multiple accounts
iirc the only rule is you can't use an alt to avoid a ban (perma or temporary)

No that's the worst thing to do he won't be able to use the new account without getting banned if he gets this one pbanned

what are you talking about, you can have as many alts as you want. i have more than a hundred of them, and the entire 7 years ive been here no mods have ever hunted down inactive alts

It's weird too because I've posted with my alt despite being banned on another account and my alt never got banned.

I guess I could see someone wanting to delete their account in order to get rid of their 'internet footprint' or at least make it harder for someone you don't want searching what you post here on facepunch.

Same with me, and I was such a noob and a dumbass I even admitted I was using an alt and I was never banned. Guess why my name ends with "v2"?

Ouch, 2008 account too. Feel that burn.
Yeah but only 11 posts.
[QUOTE=maximizer39v2;44513748]Yeah but only 11 posts.[/QUOTE]
Doesn't show the full picture.
There have been many post count resets over the years.
I posted a huge amount back on the earlier years, these days I'm just here for the daily lurk.

Post count resets.
I went from 25,000 to 3,000 and am now at this.

Yup. I was a dumbass with my old account name being my name. Never again.

Don't draw attention to yourself and you'll be fine.

Okay but can you lurk with an alt without getting banned?
Having an account especially for lurking would be sweet

it's not advised because that's still ban evasion
I wish name changing was still a thing.
Not too hyped about my 2005-self's naming ideas... But oh well.

I've only ever had posts deleted along with threads.

You think you have it bad? :v:
I was waiting for my financial situation to improve and I was going to buy a name change. Garry removed the feature 2 weeks before I got the money to pay for it.

I changed my name just in time.
Still, 20 bucks is more than I payed for Gmod.
