Can I delete my Community Account and then come back and open another account so that my Name will be CORRECT?

Cruredes IS NOT MY NAME‼️


Some years back I came in here and asked how I could change my "psjkelly" name, no one answered me so a Moderator named Cruredes intervened and asked for me.


The next thing I knew HIS NAME BECAME MY NAME‼️


I have asked numerous times, even BEGGED for this to be fixed, here, and writing to the team, NO ONE HAS ANSWERED ME. I asked Apple and they told me it had to be done HERE.


For the love of pete somebody has got to know how to do this; right?!

Well IdrisSeabright, I'm certain you are correct, this is surely not how it usually happens, it's definitely not how it should happen, nevertheless, this is how it happened to me. Yep, for reals. Weird, right? Well of course there is no one else named Cruredes now, maybe he got my name, maybe he used that break to change his name? Honestly I have no idea what happened to his name, LOL!


I am trying really hard to maintain a sense of humor here, but it's not been made easy by everyone gaslighting me about the fact that it happened at all. IT. HAPPENED. REALLY.


So yeah, I want to choose & wear my own name, not someone else's.


Anyways, I have written to communityaccounts@apple.com several times, absolutely NO ONE there is answering my emails. Why? That seems really odd to me.


I only came in today because I received an email that there was another answer to this question, but here I am and there is NOTHING HERE. I'm dropping the email in to show you that yeah, I really did receive it. I might begin to get a bit paranoid about this whole thing, seriously, wt_ is going on?

When you request a username change, it's generated randomly. It's not a moderator's user name. The person who reported your request for a name change wasn't a moderator and wasn't called Cruredes. There is no one else named Cruredes currently in this forum.


You can try this email address from the Terms of Use:


communityaccounts@apple.com


Since you have very few points to lose, you can certainly create a new profile. But, really, what difference does it make what username you have here?

That post was deleted by the Hosts for some reason (which they do not share with anyone but the poster). There is nothing nefarious about it. It happens all the time.
