Resetting account!

Instead of having to change the username to then delete our account and remake it, why can't we just have a button or something in the settings menu that just says "reset account" so that wins/losses/games played/rating etc are reset?

Games are tied to accounts and once an account has a rating, it wouldn't be fair for opponents to get an inaccurate pairing to the account. A new account is going to quickly get to the same place your old one was anyway, with a different w/l/d ratio until you get sufficient games anyway

A reset account wouldn't be bad if you don't abuse it. Now there's a lot of people that would,
but it would just be nice for a "elo refresh" where you can take an account that hasn't been used in a while and take a quiz or something for you to find your new elo so you don't lose all your chess games when you join back after a while.

how do you do it

get banned

i have a question that can i have the access to a username that is inactive and closed?? also if a id is banned and i wants its username then how can i get it?? pls reply at the earliest...

Only premium members, that have self paid memberships for at least 3 months can request inactive usernames.

Banned usernames may or may not be available, depending on closure reason.

Does a human staff have to approve the username that is trying to be taken

Yes, it's a manual process.

So I just have to hope that no one takes the username I want before 3 months?

Yes. It's unlikely anyone else will request it.

Is it true that each member can only request for an inactive username once?
