The trouble is that he was TerrorDæmonum before that.  He's forever changing his ID.

Is he austistic or something?

1.  It makes it harder to search for posts and block people.
2.  It makes it harder to follow a thread because replies and quotes have the old username not the current one.
3.  Only very annoying forum members, like Joseph, have any excuse to do it.

Thank you, Greg.  For reference purposes, I'll link also the post I just made:

Yes, he is on the spectrum.

If the "change user name" feature gets disabled, will those of us who used it be defaulted back to our previous name?  Or will we keep our current name?  I had the absolute worst user name on the forum, and would like to stay rid of it.

The rule states clearly "2) We permit users to have only one account.".

I am not sure why the owner of this site permitted Joseph to have like 3 or 4 different accounts already.

More than 3 or 4, Andy.

They're not different accounts, at least not now. We can change our user names which is what Joseph did.
In conclusion, I can leave you with no better advice than that given after every sermon by Msgr Vincent Giammarino, who was pastor of St Michael's Church in Atlantic City in the 1950s:

    "My dear good people: Do what you have to do, When you're supposed to do it, The best way you can do it,   For the Love of God. Amen"

Don't look now but he did it again. I think that's twice in one day. Now it's his name in Greek.

Something tells me he likes being the topic of conversation.

I thought that your old handle was one of the coolest (apart from Stu-Cool).

"My brothers, all of you, if you are condemned to see the triumph of evil, never applaud it. Never say to evil: you are good; to decadence: you are progess; to death: you are life. Sanctify yourselves in the times wherein God has placed you; bewail the evils and the disorders which God tolerates; oppose them with the energy of your works and your efforts, your life uncontaminated by error, free from being led astray, in such a way that having lived here below, united with the Spirit of the Lord, you will be admitted to be made but one with Him forever and ever: But he who is joined to the Lord is one in spirit."

He doesn't have multiple accounts. In case you missed it, if you go to your account settings on your profile page you will see the option to change your username.
 
Using that feature does not increase your number of accounts. It changes your username if you choose to do so and that's it. 

It can't be used to hide anything or fool anybody.

Thank you, but if you listen to the Rihanna song Pon de Replay from which it was taken, you will understand just how bad it was.  Not that the words themselves are problematic, they're merely a patois for "put it on replay."  But the song itself is execrable dance-hop.  It was actually not my original user name; I chose it in a fit of peevishness when some users on here were speaking positively of hip-hop.  I think my new one is a definite improvement.

I can see a reason/need to change a username once.  A transparent (simple) person will announce it somewhere, and that will be the end of it.  Repeated, arbitrary, or sly changes are in fact an attempt to hide and deceive.

We will have to disagree on this point, but it appears that a number of members do hold a view similar to mine.

A person can do many things allowable by regulations, rules or even civil law, but the manner and frequency in which he or she does so will reveal intent.

Well in Joseph's case he didn't hide anything or deceive anyone. His posting style and content remain the same each time he changes his username.

None of the arguments, though valid/understandable concerns, apply to Joseph's use of the forum feature.

My only interest in the matter is informing people that it is in fact an option allowed currently and not an issue of multiple accounts. And hopefully, prevent members from bearing false witness due to not understanding the difference in the definitions of "forum account" and "profile options".
