Hey Selby! I just wanted to add a couple of points:
ReplyDelete1. G+ policy explicitly states that avatar names, or pseudonyms, are illegal
2. My avatar name was automatically rejected the first time I registered,
3. I used appeal option, citing websites that referred to me by my avatar name to prove that I have anestablished online identity as virtualchristine. This resulted in a suspension until they had decided what to do
4. I lost my first appeal, and was informed per email I could appeal again.This time the appeal option didn't have anywhere to enter links or documents, just a contact box, and I offered to send them blog stats. My suspension continued, and I was not notified per email of a second appeal, so I didn't know what was going on.
5. My suspension was suddenly lifted with no e mail communication. Then I could use my account normally. It took about two weeks the second time.
6. THERE IS A LIMIT; I THINK IT IS TWO TO HOW MANY TIMESXPER YEAR YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR G+ NAME!! READ THE NAMES POLICY CAREFULLY!!
Gee, that was more than a couple! Good Luck everyone!
Thanks for the info. Not as friendly as I hoped. I am glad you got to use your established online name.
