After a new reply on a post my username has been changed?

Hi


After a new reply on a post my username has been changed from the already for 10 years used barteatapple to Creomeetron? All my posts and replies are changed to that name?



Is this a known problem or is my Apple account hacked?


I will logout now and see if it helps and brings back my previous username or i can fix this.

It's also possible that i can't connect anymore to my account, then i will try to reply here with my other Apple account.

Yes, all seams ok but i am not happy, because Apple has changed my username after +-10 years to 'Creomeetron' because this:


We’ve temporarily changed your username to Creomeetron because your original username makes it appear as though you are an Apple employee. Please allow up to 24 hours for this change to take full effect. You may notice some inconsistency with your username during this period.

You can read more about appropriate usernames on our Terms of Use page: Apple Support Communities Use Agreement

To change your username, please send an email to applemoderators@apple.comwith three alternative usernames in order of preference. We’ll check to see if your preference is available. 


My username was 'barteatapple' ;-) for +-10 years, how could that be confusing? ;-)
