Codeforces Magic will come in a few days, so everybody might attempt to change their handle to a different one. I want to take "tamzid", but it is already taken by someone who has been inactive for 4 years and is also unrated. I think Codeforces should consider banning such accounts so active users can get the names they want.
Alternative idea: Give them usernames like "user12345".
In fact, you can take the name like this:

So you can't take "Tamzid"...
I think it's necessary to ban something like this.
not just unrated user but also for user below a certain rating
this guy https://codeforces.me/profile/akshitgupta took username, solved 2-3 problems, and has been inactive for 8 years
well i took the username of an inactive user and have been using it for 2 years now. you can take their username if they didn't send any messages to anybody.
ban banme1234
whats codeforces magic?
it's when you can change your id name and temporarily the color of your account like you can become a GM color with newbie rating and vice versa.
