Syn: it is not possible to change an account to a syn one.

It would be great to state explicitly that it is not possible to change an account you maintain (personal/shared/community) to a syndicated. I have two concurrent ideas about that:

1. Put it as a sentence the FAQ 137.

2. Modify FAQ 195:

( sweet changes under a cut )

status-resolved, faq137, faq150, cat-syn, faq195

Is this question frequently asked?

I've seen it about three times lately.

Why not add it in the 1st paragraph of FAQ 150?

Modified sentence: "You cannot log into a syndicated account, syndicated accounts cannot be deleted or renamed, nor can another account type be converted into a syndicated account."

With this wording users still can ask whether it is possible to have an account deleted and re-created as a syndicated. However, I like your idea.

Done by modifying 150.
