Username changing (solution)
I know changing your username is rejected, sadly.
But, I think you should have the ability to change your name if you're:
- A new scratcher
- No followers
- Your account is younger than 10 days
I bet 100000 dollars that this is a dupe.

Username changing (solution)
This is still rejected:
8.1 Changing usernames or changing display names
If a user could change their username (or even set a certain “nickname” or “display name”), this could be very confusing for the Scratch community, especially for those following that user. In addition, this would make moderation of the website more difficult because it would be harder for the Scratch Team to keep an eye on what a user may be doing. The Scratch Team has allowed username changes only on very rare occasions, such as if the username contains personal information or causes gender dysphoria. Generally, the Scratch Team does not change usernames on request (including for reasons such as “I do not like my current username anymore”).
However, because of the way that usernames are stored on the server, changing the cases of letters in your username (for example, changing @Za-Chary to @ZA-CHARY) is NOT rejected; you can discuss it on this topic.

Username changing (solution)
This is, the variation in context and possible suggestions makes it an unreliable and inconsistent guide. If you wish to have some examples, try the examples of cloud lists and the Animated Text blocks in the Scratch Lab.no way this is a dupe. Where's my $10 000 dollars?
lgrov44, an Australian Scratcher whose most famous for his follows, followed by his activity, especially on Discussion Forums, and his follower count. Is also a remix chainer and school student. Identifies as bisexual.
My top 3 favourite people:
1. @Higgies (deleted) - First Follower, Thank you so much! (Wish you could see this…)
2. @Dubstepv1 (Banned/Moved) - Remix Chainer
3. @GIitchInTheMatrix (Moved to @GlitchedThrough) - Many small things.
Still looking for one of my first followers who are still active.

And you could easily create multiple accounts to abuse this feature.

at that point, why not just create a new account?
