Best answer

Our system detected that your username matched a first/last name format, so it was flagged and reviewed by our staff. We then changed it and notified you about it. Please understand that we do this for your own personal safety. Other people may have been impacted too. You should never give out your real name online in any format. If anyone has a username that can relate to their own personal information, please change it as soon as possible by editing your profile section.

The profile section was changed for everyone. We are no longer allowing pictures to be shown. Again, it is for your own safety and also related to some recent laws that were passed about what we can and cannot show online. I hope you understand and continue to enjoy the services we provide.

Are you still allowing the "Wall" feature?

commented Nov 16, 2015 by rae (110k points)

Yea well i mean, I think that ya know, being able to post on walls, great way of private conversation. But the whole, full name, I get. But location, THAT was a little excessive, so I'm glad that's gone.

I agree with kidzsearch. This needed to be safer.

commented Nov 20, 2015 by rae (110k points)

yea it is safer now bc if they kept things like location, full name, emails, people could use that information fir bad things. :D sorry I overreacted. As I've mentioned to GymnastPower before, I tend to get a little intense with my reactions.
