How to change pen name?

How do I change my pen name?

[Doug_Pardee Distinguished Bibliophile]

You can't.

[Ben_Stuffing]

Sorry, but you can't.  

[TiggerBear]

You can, ask a moderator if they'd be kind and change it for you. They can and have done it before.

Hi,

who is this moderator and how can i contact them..please and thanks

[TiggerBear]

Ok look for a green colored poster name, those are the mods. Click it. Then PM and ask.

What users need to do is look for the ADMIN tag next to the name - mods and reader-mods don't have the account access capability that admins do.

Ah sorry, the mod who did it last time must have passed on the request previously.

Proof you can always learn something new on here.

OTOH, Becke seems to have gained some ADMIN functions, if she gets PM'd she may be able to take care of some things.

You can't change your pen name.

An admin can, if you ask nicely.

Why in the world can't you change your pen name?  That's the stupidest thng I ever heard.  No wonder Amazon is kicking B&N's fanny.

[Ritergal]

No fooling. I post all the time at Amazon. I use my own name. I can also insert paragraph breaks. The B&N style is okay for reviews for four sentences, but I put some thought and effort into mine.

I can't tell you why, but I can tell you the site gives you multiple warnings when you choose a pen name that you can't change it.  Those warnings said, to me, that I'd better choose a pen name I wanted to keep.

Most of the forums I've used don't let users change their own handles.

Im kinda confused

[Karen973]

Im kinda confused cause i want to change my pen name to but.... im just confused

[AcuityPlague]

 I'm wondering the same thing. I see in other posts that an Admin might be able to help but I can't find one. lol EEekkk.. I choose my pen name in a different place in my life. I really don't want it now that i've paid for membership and want to be active on the site. Ugg.. what to do eh?

[AcuityPlague]

 WTH..it says I registered 03/22/2012. But it's making me keep a pen name I made years ago. I call foul! Could a kind Admin that comes across this help me?
