Wait, the Scratch Team has changed a user's username before?!

A few minutes ago I found another “Can I change my username?” question.
Well, I found something that I didn't know about;

Is this true? I thought that accounts with usernames against the CG were deleted instead..? But I guess the ST can change a username?
How many times has this happened?

TL;DR Is it true that the Scratch Team can change inappropriate usernames?

lh70 / nora/tobi / she-they pronouns / pansexual-demisexual / 14 / sagittarius / furry / artist / intp / stop-motion films / lbp / fall out boy / panic! at the disco / twenty one pilots / stranger things / a series of unfortunate events

They don't actually “change” the username in those cases. They move everything to a new account and delete the old one. Of course, you can do that yourself, but only ST can do it and keep the views, favs, and loves on it.

that make sense, but would everything still save

This is my signature. It's really not that good. I don't even know why you are reading it. It is pointless reading this, and yet, here you are, reading every single word of it. Just stop reading my signature and go on with your life. You are just wasting your time here. Why haven't you gone yet? I have repeatedly told you to leave. You must not be able to read. But wait, you are reading this, so you can read. That must mean you are ignoring me. I don't like being ignored, but if you are good at ignoring things, why is it so hard for you to ignore this signature. I'm getting tired of writing words to fill this signature, so you should just give me a break and stop reading.

I remembered Scratch changed someone's username into “gdpr0000001” and deleted its birthday as well.
