Ask HN: How does HN allow username changes?
2 by changemememe | 2 comments on Hacker News.
I've noticed that someone recently admitted to breaking employment law in several European countries and after a while the poster's username, which linked to his Twitter and LinkedIn profiles, was changed to a random sequence of letters. Are username changes common on HN? Or was it likely an one-off damage limitation/attempt to hide ass?
