Username Changes

Are they permitted in any circumstances?

Only exceptional circumstances, you'd have to speak to wobbles about it but it has to be a very good reason as it doesn't tend to be permitted x

I actually tried to message her a month or so back and I haven't gotten a reply :/

I've got a crazy mother who I've cut out of my life stalking me on the internet and she tends to make announcements on facebook when she finds out stuff about me against my will. I'm TTC secretely as I have had a miscarriage before. I also have a dangerous ex boyfriend who I am taking to court at the minute, both know me by this name and you can see why I don't want my ex finding me on here, he has tried to kill me before and I really don't want him to know I am TTC :/

No doubt she'll see this hun, I'm sure she'll reply as soon as she can x

Usernames are rarely changed.

It is your responsibility to remain anonymous, if your user account has already been located by others a name change will make no difference they will just see you have changed your name. Posts, account numbers, bookmarks etc will remain the same.

I get so many requests for name changes so I'm afraid no response meant that the username change was not permitted.

They haven't located me yet, thats the thing

Kazine could be anyone, nothing in your username identifies you only what you post on the forum will identify you. On signup you are warned this is a public forum and anything you post you do so at your own discretion.

If you have posted anything that identifies you you can use the edit feature.

If you don't want to be identified removing LOs name from your angel ticker etc would be a good start. The ticker alone would not identify you but the name might!
