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.

You are assuming people on here have mates and if they do, they read the board.

What do you want it changed to? Should list your address too so there is no hiding place.

Great idea. Please change my user name to my real name - Ronnie Hotdogs - with immediate effect.

Maybe we should have a username amnesty where people can change to their real names.

Cheers, Andrew Buonocore

Should have said John Leslie

Could we have "Ronnie Hotdogs née RedO" please - it gets confusing otherwise

Hiding behind a nom de guerre is one thing, but hiding behind an alias is despicable.

Pathetic................says it all really.

Eh? Do you want your name changed or not?

Ronnie Nose might be worth a sniff

My username is my real name with Chicken added for comical value

Have you seen Facebook?

West Side Story, I agree with you.

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.

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.

He's gone fanny mad, collecting wives and meeting old girlfriends, best of luck to you Clive Evans.

Hoovering it up, it’s a delight to behold.
