What would it take for you to reset your account? A particularly embarrassing loss? A long enough loss streak or losing enough rating points?

I don't get resetting an account in most cases. I can see it for stalking or abuse, so you can start off with no one knowing who you are.

Because if you have a particularly embarrassing loss/string of losses why would you want to find out?

Don’t be embarrassed. It’s just a board game, and doesn’t really amount to anything but fun.

That's incredibly stupid advice.

You're anonymous anyway. I've had embarrassing losses. Have them OTB too. Nothing worth worrying about what others might think about it.
