Mitchell Respond to If someone is using their real name as their alias and then for whatever reason they wish to become anonymous, should that not be respected? new to SI, uses their own name, and suddenly realizes they made a mistake doing so, I'd allow them to change to an alias with no official mention of it (i.e. any record of it in their profile or via a people search).not new to SI, uses their own name (like me), and suddenly realizes they made a mistake doing so, I'd tell them to simply make a public farewell and stop posting using that account. I'd then allow them to open a brand new account under an alias. The old account stays intact "as is" (i.e. with their real name still attached). If someone tries to out them, that's their problem.
