Title: 3 Requests: Username change, File deletion / reattribution
Post by: Varin0x on April 25, 2025, 15:00:27

Hello helpful souls,  ;D
I have three requests about my account(s) as well as a more tricky attribution issue:

1) Username change
I registered a new account on the ModArchive website as "Varinox" but decided to replace the "o" with a "0" (zero). I changed the display name successfully to the new spelling, but would like my username (for logging in) to reflect this change as well.
TL;DR: Change internal username to "Varin0x".

2/3) Deleting old account / reattributing old .MODs to new handle
I started tracking .MODs this January and really like it. I started releasing some under a different username and would love to change my scene presence to the new handle, including changing / reattributing the releases I have so far. (Would also like to reupload the lone module I have up on "Varin0x" to fix spelling.)

I have been posting mainly under the artist account "Ezo Fuzz".
https://modarchive.org/index.php?request=view_profile&query=97084
I can provide proof of this account belonging to me. I would like for the account and the associated .MODs to be removed. I will then reupload them on my new artist account (Varin0x) with updated filename and sample names to reflect the new handle.
TL;DR: Delete old account, allow me to reupload my old mods (just a few) with updated attribution.

To sum up my most likely annoying request (sorry about this):

• Change spelling of Mod Archive internal username from "Varinox" to "Varin0x"
• Delete EzoFuzz's account / modules (Will reupload soon under new handle)
• Delete the single .MOD I have in the "Varin0x" account currently (This one also has the wrong spelling):

---> https://modarchive.org/index.php?request=view_by_moduleid&query=209957


I can provide proof of ownership of both accounts via personal message or E-Mail. I hope this isn't too much hassle, but I would love to finally clean this mess up and get to tracking under the name I want to use ;)

Thanks all,
Cheers.

Okay, so.

1) I find it unreasonable to change the internal username. To begin with, I haven't seen services that allow chaning the login username for its users. Just changing the screen name is enough.
2) Maximum that I can do, is to reassign your music under your previous account to Varin0x and remove previous assignment as a result. We do not delete music already in the archive on such requests. for further info, please refer to this article: https://modarchive.org/index.php?faq-removal-policy (https://modarchive.org/index.php?faq-removal-policy)
3) I will disable your previous account after you provide proof you're the actual owner of it

Cheers

All have been done. I've asked ziphoid about the login, so you'd have to wait on that.

The login should be changed, I think
