There are some questions which were written with my (mainly used) pseudonymous account, but contain some identifiable information, so it would be great if this account could take ownership.  As  and both merging accounts and dissociating yourself from a question is possible, too, would the Stack Exchange team be willing to change the ownership of these posts?

Can I hide my accounts that I already participate in, for a specific site?  For example, I'm in one where I don't want to make my accounts visible for others:    Or is this not possible?

I was using multiple SO sites,like many others, under my one email address. Later I decided to break one my account on one SO site (lets call it X.SE) because I did not want to have public profile on that account. The SO staff helped me create a separate account, with some restrictions, that is   I must not login using my old email address. If I do my account may automatically get merged again. I will lose some of my important gadgets that I worked hard for.   Now I understand this feature is not fully supported and I am fine with. But the problem I am facing now is when I chat on this site X.SE, my SO username is shown instead of my X.SE user name. Can this be fixed at least so I can stand independent on that site and get invoved in healthy discussions?

When something of yours is deleted (answers, comments, questions, Area 51 proposals) it would be nice to get some kind of notice other than just not being able to find it anymore. You receive notices for everything else that can be done to something of yours, and often relating to something of yours, so why not this?  I've never had anything moved that I know of, but if that doesn't send you a notice I'd say it should too.  If you don't know that this has happened, then one might be tempted to think there was some user or software errors and just post again.

I just noticed . Its author doesn't have an account on this site, which makes it show up like this on the homepage:        It looks like a simple thing - but it gets in the way of the 'flow' of the page:        Couldn't we somehow get the author's name, so that migrated questions with authors that don't have an account here still show up, like this:        Much better. Please?

I just read . I found the explanation very clear and interesting, but I don't want to create an account on that site. So, I clicked Yes by "Was this post useful to you?"  Who will get that feedback?

I often see users who appear as user12345 or something similar. I personally dislike this for a few reasons:    I'd prefer to know who I'm dealing with I think the quality of questioning is generally better from users who have an identity Somehow it seems like cheating... disrespectful in some intangible way.. here we all are helping each other for free, and what? You can't even be bothered to show your face?   I've read the question   and there the conclusion seems to be that we don't mind whether the identity is real or adopted.   Fair enough. My problem is with people who can't even be bothered to have an identity at all. (I understand that in some cultures, it might be seen as problematic to make community contributions on your boss's time, even if there's a net gain. Lots of the user12345 folks seem to be asking for work-related answers: even full-blown solutions.)  Coming back to my first point about wanting to know who I'm dealing with; I actually can't tell the numbered users apart. Those numbers just don't stick in the brain, so it becomes like trying to interact with the Borg. Even if people have reasons to conceal their 'passport' identity, why can't they at least be encouraged to put some minimal imagination into making up a fake?   Stack overflow has successfully gamified all sorts of things, so isn't there a way to lean on people (ever so gently) to put a little bit of effort into dumping the auto-generated name. Nag them every 5 logins? Whatever.

I am new to Stack Overflow. I keep seeing so many beautiful posts/answers. It's really a great place for everyone getting to know about software programming. Lots of people post so much knowledge in terms of solutions and algorithms that may be proprietary/open source information.  The least amount of personal information I can provide is my email id, if I connect with Google, Facebook, etc. However, the email id itself reveals my association and the work I do.  This makes me believe that Personally Identifiable Information on Stack Exchange should be absolutely safe and not available to anyone, even the admins.   My concerns are:   Who can see my PII on SO? Is it safe from attacks?   Note:  It may be a paranoid / unimaginable aspect associated with how Stack Overflow works, but I think those who want to break things find ways to do it in unimaginable ways. Most people have work place information available publically on linkedin / facebook / google. Not all will use open id, hence the question.

How I can remove myself from some Stack Exchange sites, but keep my profile? (For example, I subscribed to some sites just for curiosity; I just browsed without posting or replying.)  I found a delete option but I am afraid to click!   Would it be possible also to unsubscribe from sites where I have been active?

Today I came across a situation where I knew that I'd answered another similar question some time ago, but couldn't remember on which Stack Exchange site it was. I ended up doing multiple searches on several different Stack Exchange sites before giving up and just doing the research again - answering the question from scratch.  As such, I wonder if it would be possible to implement  on the  mechanism.  If this had already been implemented then it would have given me a single place to try out the different sets of keywords that I thought might help me find my answer.  Note, this question goes one step further than  and I can see that there might be implementation issues with it due to issues raised , but couldn't the OpenID for the Stack Exchange account be used to filter the questions and answers from other Stack Exchange sites?

Occasionally I will see a post with the author displayed like this:    The username is not clickable, but I don't know of any way to make a profile "private."  So is this just an anonymous user who only entered a name when asking the question (can you do that)?

When you create Stack Exchange accounts and you want them tied to a Google account, when you log into your Google account you get taken to a separate page where it asks for permission and whether you want the setting to be remembered.  I am wondering how I can access the page which lists what accounts are tied to my Google account and have set to remember.   I think it's about time I went in and see what accounts I am not using and get rid of them.

I just posted a question to  and afterward realized that it might not be answered very quickly due to how specific it was. So I also posted it on the   I plan to update both the SU and Ubuntu posts with the final answer I end up using, but I can't help but feel users from both places might not like that I've posted to both.  So my question is: Is it frowned upon to post the same question elsewhere and link to it?

I deleted one of my questions and would like to undelete it. This requires finding the question.  I think you shouldn't be prevented from seeing your own posts that you have deleted. It should be easier than me remembering the link or checking the browser history to easily look these up.   I would currently need 10K to see my deleted items and even then if I can find their URL.

I've seen a question on a site I don't have an account on. The question was very interesting and it's also on-topic on this other site, where I am an active user on.  The question is on-topic on both sites.  Is it OK for me to post the same question (possibly with linking to the original) on the site I'm active on?

I'm pretty sure using the "answer your own question" feature of stackexchange is considered spam/abuse, but wanted to doublecheck. My situation:   I had a problem I couldn't find a solution I wrote a program to solve the problem   In some sense, this is the perfect "answer your own  question" scenario (maybe someone else had the same  problem), but it seems to conflict with "avoid  self-advertising" rule.   Which rule prevails? (my guess is the "avoid self-advertising" rule)

Possible Duplicate:         Is this normal behavior in Stack Exchange sites that after just signing up one can edit not only his/her own comments / posts, but also others' comments / posts?  If so, then the Q&amp;A does not look safe to me. Imagine someone maliciously modifying a post and bringing bad reputation on a Q&amp;A member.  Can you check this and perhaps fix it?
