Name changes

Name changes

I'm much the same although sadly it can leave you open to personal attacks. Unfortunately I've seen this happen to a friend on Twitter who has been hounded off the platform and subjected to some horrific harassment and slander to the point where the perpetrator (an ex-friend of his) is trying to ruin his life.


more than one way of solving this, PM me if your mate needs a "wee helping hand"
 
I see that a couple of relatively high profile posters have changed their usernames recently. Maybe there are more that I haven’t spotted.

I had understood that in the past this wasn’t possible - at least not without admin help, but I am presuming that these posters have done it themselves and that this is a feature of the new software introduced last year??

I see that the name change is applied to all their historical posts - but it is NOT applied where their posts have been quoted within other people‘s posts. This is a way of being certain who has changed their name to what - as they are clearly identifiable.

I am not sure I like this feature. Not least as I see potential for mischief. Any comments? And could the feature be disabled, even if there is a consensus that we’d like it to be?
Can you do a list, before and after names please bud.
