Someone here with reporting privileges has to notify a moderator and, yes, they use email to contact you. As another end user, I have no way to know if there are alternate contact methods used, just that changing is not self-serve.


The current system exists because, at one time, people were changing names daily and causing a great deal fo confusion here, including using the ability to change to abuse other members. A handful of people made life difficult or everyone.


I will notify the mods of your questions and you can see if that works out.

I am an end user and can only relay messages. I can't fix, but have sent a second note to the mods. If you do not want to set up email yet, I have no idea what options they have to work with you.


As there are an estimated 3 million English-speaking users of these forums world-wide, many short names are already taken.


That's all I can do here.

Thank you, @IdrisSeabright.

They seem to have changed it without following up with me. The change they did is not to my liking. Can I choose my own?

You now know as much as I do about the process. There is an address in the "Apple Support Community Terms of Use" (see the very bottom of the page in small print to click on the link). You could try that.
