Change username of Apple Support Communities

Hi,

I want to change my username "6547890jhkg" that i use for the Apple Support Communities. I dont know how i got this username but i was in hurry and i wanted to read something on the Apple Support Communities. So at some point i was confronted with a screen where i had to type a username in and i typed random characters on my keyboard. Is it possible to change the username? I heard that it is possible but only moderators can change the username.

P.S.: I dont want to change my Apple ID, i just want to change my strange username which is right now "6547890jhkg"...

Thanks in advance

George

And by the way, I understand protecting the hosts from being contacted by anyone about anything, but isn't this a slightly insane system for fixing username problems?

In the Apple Support Communities Terms of Use you will find the email address for the Hosts in § 1.13 along with language that would encompass someone having a problem with their username

Because you asked to have your alias changed. The hosts are the only ones who can do that so I reported your post so they can be notified and get in touch with you. Have a new one in mind.

I cannot answer that. I freely chose my username when I began with the Communities. No matter, the hosts will be contacting you.

Could someone please pass a request on my behalf?

I would like to change my username to something close to my real name. The current one does not represent me.

Can you alert them for me as well? I would like to change. Thanks!

I have alerted the hosts about your request to change your username. A name change will not delete your responses in any posts.
