Change Forum Username

I dont know how I ended up with a username that advertises both my name and city of residence (I would never choose such a name if I knew it would be posted publicly), but for privacy reasons I'd like to set my forum username to something that isn't so personal. Searching the forums has led me to believe that there is no way for users to do this, but that mods might be able to assist me. How can I contact a moderator to request a change of username?

I can't give you a AR so I'll second the helpful someone gave you and add a virtual solved.


You're welcome, good sir! ✅

As spiritofdiscovery said, "due diligence" on the part of the poster can go a long way to expedite things

  • search "People" page for desired username
  • post that name in the request
  • we report that fact to our gracious Hosts
  • Hosts do a quick verify
  • BINGO! no muss, no fuss
  • Hosts award AR to reporter
  • done deal
