Comment 3 for bug 516441

@Curtis Hovey: i wanted to have a new launchpad-ID (my old was ~thomasbechtold). But i had a PPA so it was not possible to change the LP-ID. Then i added a Question to soyuz (see https://answers.launchpad.net/soyuz/+question/99673 ) where Michael Nelson told me that there's a faq with a workaround for the problem (https://answers.edge.launchpad.net/soyuz/+faq/569). Then followed the instructions and now i'm a member since today and have karma=0.

I think that is a bad situation because eg i'm a ubuntu member and if other people watch my profile, they can not understand why i'm a member (because "member since" in LP profile is today, so i'm totally new and karma=0).

The "member since" is also wrong because i'm a member since 2005 (my old account). And when i merge 2 accounts, i want to have the lowest date (because that's the reality).

 * Is it possible to set the member-since date back to the old date?
 * Is it possible to recalculate the karma again?
