From mdbannister to Daniel@R2R

[Daniel@R2R Verified Admin]

Hey guys and gals! I've been known on this site for the last 7 years as mdbannister, but lately I've been thinking that it might be easier for people if my username wasn't my initials and last name. Since my goal is to help our community have the best possible experience, it seems it makes more sense to have a username that people can easily identify and maybe even remember. It's kind of like the difference between having an email that is [email protected] vs. [email protected]. I dunno...maybe I'm overthinking it, but at any rate, I figured let's try this out and see what you all think. ;Smuggrin

When I saw this the first thing that came to my mind was a major game developer years ago implementing an idea that users accounts and in-game communication required real/personal names. Similar to what you would find on legal documents, drivers license, mail, etc. The reason was to try and reduce the amount of on-line bullying that happens. Thought was that people react one way on-line but differently when face to face.

I thought it was an interesting idea and in some ways think this should be the new norm as we navigate this digital age. Similar to an email address or mobile phone number. In any case your new name that is what came to mind never the less and probably not what you expected or intended.

How did u change it? I've been trying to do same

 

[Dr. Dendrostein]

Welcome, comrade

I don’t remember reviewing this name change request....

• “Usernames: In an online community, usernames are the best (and often only) way to distinguish different members from one another. A person's reputation is associated with their username as the community gets to know them by that name. R2R staff reviews name change requests on a case-by-case basis. While name changes are occasionally allowed, we generally prefer that users retain their current usernames.”

So let me get this straight...

You’re the artist who is formerly known as mdbannister who was nearly named hooplahsixtyfive1214 and you want us to accept “daniel” when your first initial is an M?

Ok, that sounds simple enough!

EDIT: Wait! It’s not “Daniel”? Now we’re supposed to remember the @r2R also? I’m so confused!?!

Jk
