Hi there! First, I recommend creating a new username and not giving any details about yourself.  Some of the users on this site are very dox-happy and they love to threaten users, once they find out who they are, to get those users to leave the site. Since this is a new username, you'll do just fine by deleting and making a new username. When, and if, you do - and even if you don't - please participate by commenting in others' submissions so you build up some Comment Contribution Points (CCP) and also so your username doesn't look like the usernames used by those that caused us to have to approve users to submit text and link posts.  That's why this seemingly draconian/censorious hurdle is necessary - those bad users created a bot to make new usernames just like yours to spam our sub to the point it was unusable. It's nothing personal, but we have to be very careful with the sub now, and adding usernames like yours opens us up to the same kind of spam that caused us to lock down submissions. Really happy to have you here, whatever you decide! WWG1WGA!
