Changing User Name
How can I revert my nom de plume to my actual name? I want to lead by example. I am very fed up with people coming on here spewing out nonsense. I feel that if people didn't hide behind a nom de guerre, they would be more responsible for what they write on here. They would have to justify themselves to their mates. Although some of the stuff they write imply that their mates are very few.

Re: Changing User Name
You are assuming people on here have mates and if they do, they read the board.

Re: Changing User Name
What do you want it changed to? Should list your address too so there is no hiding place.West Side Story wrote: ↑Thu Oct 01, 2020 12:43 pm How can I revert my nom de plume to my actual name?

Re: Changing User Name
Great idea. Please change my user name to my real name - Ronnie Hotdogs - with immediate effect.

Re: Changing User Name
Maybe we should have a username amnesty where people can change to their real names.

Re: Changing User Name
Hiding behind a nom de guerre is one thing, but hiding behind an alias is despicable.

Yes I happen to use Facebook quite a lot. They have a weak policy of removing " fake " news and misleading entries. But they do do it and I have seen them do it on many occasions. I don't think Thor would see his postings stay on Facebook very long. A bit spurious comparing this board to Facebook, as I think Facebook has a few more users. I have never, ever had a problem using my real name on there. I don't hesitate in challenging people who I think have " challenging " ideas. Furthermore, by myself and others using our real names, I have got back into contact with people I haven't seen for years. Including three ladies ( then girls ) who cruised around in my three wheeler. I hadn't seen them for over 40 years. We now have regular reunions. Going by other responses including from the Immoderator, I can see why people prefer to remain anonymous.

Re: Changing User Name
Be honest. You just want everyone to post their real names so you can see if there’s any fanny from your past on here, like on Facebook.
