Answer:

ID could be changed, but most software doesn't allow it for complexity and security reasons. What sometimes is possible is to create a new account with a new user ID, migrate the information of the old account to the new one and block the old account.

Explanation:

  • Security reason: For the sake of maintaining a consistent user identity,  changes are not allowed, imagine what would happen if an user that is on everybody's block list decide to change it's ID, the blocking filers will stop working and this blocked user could damage people again.
  • Complexity reason: To ensure consistency across your system and to avoid security problems usernames can not be unique IDs in a database so you need a more complex system.
