The most popular social network in the CIS is Vkontakte. She has been working since 2006. But, despite such a relatively long period, there are still those users who did not have time to figure everything out. In this particular case, we will talk about how to change the name in a contact.
In general, not to say that it is very difficult. But, as noted above, not all users can figure it out. So, you may need to change the name of VKontakte for completely different reasons. Most of them can be described as follows: "I was young and stupid." That is, there are such users who initially created what is called a “fake” page. I mean, it's not real. But now they want to turn it into a real one, with their real data. In fact, if this is the case, then VKontakte is really easy to change the name. The main thing is to remember what is what.
So, before you change the name in a contact, you need to go to your page. They did it all and more than once, because comments on this subject will be absolutelyredundant.
Now we need to find the "Edit Page" link - it's at the bottom under the photo. After we clicked on this link, there is a redirect to this very editing. There you already need to select the "General" tab.
Now we have the right window. In the column "Name" we will have to change the name, and in the column "Surname" we will have to change the surname. You can change one thing at will.
But that's not all. In order to know how to change the name in a contact, you need to remember that the site administration manually checks all such changes. In other words, in order for the name to change, the user's application must be approved by someone from the site administration. I must say that now this process has become somewhat easier compared to what it was before. But once, when creating an application for a name change, the user had to pledge a vote (a kind of Vkontakte currency). Now they did at least like this.
Why does every application have to be manually moderated? Firstly, the Vkontakte website is unambiguously against spamming. Often, such a name change indicates that the user's page has been hacked and is now going to be used to send such spam (in any case, this is very common on Odnoklassniki).
In the same way, Vkontakte is against violence, rudeness, cruelty and so on. You can not change the name to something like that - it will not work. The next point is the opposition to frank eroticism. So such namesprohibited.
Another important point. When changing the name, the user must provide a reason. It would be nice to write your real reason, or, in extreme cases, something humorous. Knowing the positivity of the absolute majority of the site administration, they will definitely appreciate it. And accordingly, the chances of success increase.
In general, there is also an alternative to how to change the name in a contact. Basically, you can create a new page. It's much easier, faster and more efficient. Another thing is that managing two pages at once is not very convenient, because in this case you need to constantly switch between your profiles.
