Below is what I wrote on Change.org.
My name has been Shok for over two decades.
My family, friends, anyone with whom I work and or meet knows me as this. My birthname is not even important unless it is a credit application or medical record. If someone had the name Richard Smith but always went by Dickie, who would think to know Richard? It is the same situation. Facebook locked me out of my account the other morning. I was asked to write my name and take a photo to prove this. I wrote my name and uploaded a photo of my work business card... this comes from the corporation who presently employs me... it is official.
I have used the site to keep in touch with family, friends and work as well as entertainment. In just over a day, I have had friends worried about me and they have reported to me that any messages with me are now gone as FB has named them as SPAM. What about the Tributes & photos I have posted for people and even pets who have passed. While it may only be a site, it can be so much more.... This is so upsetting to not even give me a chance or ANY warning! I hope this petition makes a difference!
