I created my initial account, after reading the warning box and ToS, with the user name 'edlau', which is also my GitHub user name. Of course at that point I had no idea that I could not change it later nor delete my account.

I attempted to sign up again, using a different user name; it simply logs into the 'edlau' account.

What I would like to do is change my user name to 'xedx', as that is my Torn user name, and that is what all the scripts I have are for.

I have already deleted all my 'edlau' scripts from the openuserjs.org site. I have read that this is not a trivial thing to do.

To summarize:

  1. Can my account be renamed to xedx?
  2. Are multiple accounts tied to one GitHub account not possible? If it is possible, how would one accomplish that?

Thank in advance,
Ed lau aka xedx

Re: @xedx:

Of course at that point I had no idea that I could not change it later...

Correct and it's obvious. If I didn't need the DB practice then this would not have happened.

... nor delete my account.

Correct... to maintain the integrity of OUJS this is not a feature. You may however delete your content as you have already stated.

I have already deleted all my 'edlau' scripts from the openuserjs.org site.

Thank you for that consideration.

I have read that this is not a trivial thing to do.

It is not and even more so since I get to do this directly in the DB.

  1. Can my account be renamed to xedx?

Completed

  1. Are multiple accounts tied to one GitHub account not possible?

Correct.

If it is possible, how would one accomplish that?

Why would we want to open a security nightmare for bad actors who create a bazillion accounts tied to one auth strategy?! (rehtorical question here as we wouldn't!)

I had to spend some quality time with my patience levels here and weigh in whether to grant your request. As I stated... since I need the DB practice it was granted and you did make a good faith effort to read similar requests on how to do it. However it is unlikely that anyone else will get this sort of grant in the future.
