Description Bit Twister 2013-09-21 04:31:13 CEST

Description of problem:

Requesting an option to change the id and/or delete the account.
Should be easy enough, add the options, copy the capacha code, should not take much more than 2 hours of effort for some who know what their doing. :)

Tried to log into wiki. Seems it is a problem when user id has underscore(s) in the id. Ok, can I change it, No. Fine I'll create a new one.
13+ capachas later, I find out there is already someone with that email address.  :(
FRAP, I wonder who's it is. 

If your database has a last login date field, it might be nice if unused accounts are deleted which have been idle for a few years, or less. Pretty sure my first attempt created a "BitTwister" account which I could never log into is still there from several years ago.


Account screen also might warn the users about using underscore(s) in their id will prevent them from updating wiki documentation and recommend not using them.

Would be nice if there was a line indicating text in capacha can be laying on its back or face. Did not see any that were upside down in the 13+ attempts I made before I figured out characters were laying down. Just one example: I thought a k on its back was a v.  :(

I've cloned this bug for the above part, because that is a different issue.
https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11263

Also cc'ing sysadmin team in what remains of this bug, because I doubt giving users the ability to delete their own identity.mageia.org account or change their uid there, is possible at all without their help.

Claiming that something is easy and does not take more than 2 hours when you have no idea what it requires does not really help ...

Changing id will probably create a lot of problems, and we should first fix the problems caused by changing email address before thinking about allowing to change id.
