Update: OH MY GOD!

It's back up!

+ Show Spoiler +
Already, only been 24 hours!

Oops I entired my Full name First Middle Last instead of just First Last and then add a nickname (Middle) xD

Anyways I'm archiving my FB now (backup), and then will try to change name.

Some reason it doesn't let me specify what new name I want when I change, instead there is a little scroll down bar with a couple options. Middle Last, Lim Yo-Hwan. Amazing! So basically they allow me to try to change back to the old names?


THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR HELP! <3

__________________________________

Hey all, I just found out that my Facebook got disabled for not using a real name.

This concerns me because I used a fake name in order to avoid colleges stalking me, but apparently Facebook does have privacy settings that stops that from happening?

Anyways the problem is, since my name was Lim Yo-Hwan (hahaha i know), and I posted on Husky's status and replied to someone by saying "no, i'm not the real boxer" (or something like that), someone probably reported me, and I'm guessing if someone reports you and your name is on their blacklist (which I just found out about) they automatically disable your account without even checking.

First of all this is dumb cus why can't they just give you 24 hours or even more to let you verify? Why do they have to disable it first? Yeah I know it's their website they can do what they want, but what if they make a mistake?

tl;dr

Anyways the dilemna is this.

When my parents named me, my current middle name should have been my first name. This is because they planned on calling me by that name and they continue to do so; everyone at school calls me by this name, too. The [stupid] reason why they made this my middle name instead of my first name is because apparently, my FULL name sounded better when read as First Middle Last (like now) rather than if they named me properly, Middle First Last.

So the point of having a "real" facebook name is to make things credible, but it's also to help you connect with people. No one's gonna find me since they don't really know my official first name.

Since I have to upload a government ID to prove my name is real, what do you think TL? Should I upload my real ID and then try to change my name later to my middle name? (They say that once the account is verified and given back, they delete the ID, hopefully meaning that they have no record of what your real name was)

Or should I try to edit the ID to have my middle name?

Either way there's a chance that I will get warned/banned/deleted, though the first option seems safer as long as no one reports me (people change their names on FB all the time). I just hate my First name, hope you all understand, because it has never been a real name of mine and does not feel comfortable.

On a side note, I was thinking that perhaps the 2nd option of editing my ID would not be that dangerous, since they probably don't give a good look at the ID, if at all, before re-verifying you. If they truly delete your ID, how will they know if it's fake?

Thanks so much in advance for any advice!

Oh man, yoshi. What have you got yourself into?
Do you really need Facebook to live with your life? If yes, then upload an ID

you need to understand that your perception of your own name is so completely out of wack compared to other peoples perception of it (which is generally 1000% neutral, or entirely based on what they think about you rather than what the name sounds/looks like)

You're not the first one they have done this to for using a fake name. There was a story about a famous activist whose facebook account name was forcibly changed. However, after much protest (because he has many fans), facebook was forced to relent: http://www.rferl.org/content/facebook_salman_rushdie_online_activist_internet_privacy_twitter/24393752.html

I know you can deactivate it, aka no one can see you and you are basically deleted. But I think you can delete your account fully. Check under the account settings etc.

Edit: Someone please PM me what tl:dr means. LOL. Not joking.

I have several people who changed their display name to whatever random shit they choose. All you need is your real name to register.

That's kinda lame... being forced to use your 'slave name', as Artosis puts it, is not the kind of shit I want to see on social networks.

Hm well I don't see any reason to delete my account, I'll probably do option number 1 for now, but I really don't want to be stuck with my first name, so I'm wondering if anyone has had personal experience with this.

Wow that's really lame. Maybe... upload an edited version of your gov't ID that says your name is Lim Yo Hwan? Say you're not boxer but you just have the same name :D

Well if they really have privacy settings then I guess I'll go ahead and not bother editing an ID... I'll just make a secondary account with my middle name, maybe transition into using that as a main so I don't risk losing all the memories on my first <3

But I think they must be aware of past names somehow. If I "proved" my name is Lim Yo-Hwan but someone reports me again, would they just have my account be disabled again? Maybe they'll see a previous incident and think I'm lying again and then just delete my account or permanently change my name.

I love the idea of a TL;DR being longer than the foreword. It defeats lazy people; someone wanting to skip the first part and read the summary is instead forced to read more than what they tried to skip. Ingenious.

Yoshi, my advice is to simply wean yourself off of Facebook. Too many people have an unhealthy attachment to finding out what sort of cereal their pretend online friends are eating, or some other such inane thing. Take this incident as a sign, and realize that your time is better spent on more productive activities. Cut down to maybe 30 minutes or less on Facebook every day (preferably less), and you'll come out ahead in the end.

Thank me later.
The room is ripe with the stench of bitches!

Then I can't access any of my old information =/


Nevermind though guys, I've figured out what to do. I'll just not bother photoshopping my ID, upload the real one, then use one of these awesome facebook account archivers ( wow I'm amazed by these, they automatically save all your photos, notes, messages, etc. etc. to your PC! amazing! )

And then try to change my name back to Middle First Last. If that fails then it's ok cus I have all my previous info <3

Anyways, I'm trying out ways to restrict my fb time, so 30 minutes seems feasible :D
