Just got off a 2 week ban for losing it.

 

Need to trash this account and create a new one.

 

Thanks

You can't.

 

You can edit your posts for a limited time - but you cannot edit or delete after that certain time. You can even change your user name for a short period after joining. But you don't get to delete your account and start again.

Why?

 

I'll make better posts with my new account.

 

Thanks

You have one account - we don't allow multiple accounts, neither parallel nor serial.

 

I wasn't around when the rule was formulated - but I would expect that it was designed to allow debate in an atmosphere of mutual understanding, respect, and camaraderie; you can get this only when there is continuity. You take responsibility for your posts and your opinions. There is no (or very little) impersonation and duplicity as one's posts remain on record. Post stuff that you are happy with now and don't mind being associated with in the future.

 

But don't overly worry about the past - to the largest extent people will judge you on what you post in the future not in the past.

To add to Imatfaal's post, each new thoughtful post you make pushes the old one back into the past. One or two of the best posters on here have been found very much wanting in the civilty and sensibilty department in the past. You are not just a username and as such changing it doesn't really alter anything...your personality comes through in your writing.. if you want to just change your style from now on, just do it.

The Vexen of today doesn't, and shouldn't, have to be like the Vexen of yesterday ...you evolve. ...C'est la vie.

Believe me, when I see a positive change in someone's discussion style, an attitude adjustment that suddenly makes them more productive to respond to, I think that's a great time for a reinforcing rep point.

 

It's all about interesting and informative scientific discussion. Angst and drama and personal outrage should be edited at the source. You have the power!

That would be cheating. Like getting new life, new incarnation, after committing crime.

People would not know about what you have done in the past.
