I see plenty of folks not using their names on here and all of a sudden you changed mine to my mundane name. There are plenty of folks I dont want to know my name so they can find where I live. Hence why I use a different login name than my mundane name. I dont see you changing anyone elses login....ya know what make yerself happy and delete my account on here Im done with this website.

When you registered you could clearly see that you were asked to use your real name. We had no way of knowing that WmHoras was not your real name. At the time registration was automatic and was not checked prior to approval. We are in the process of correcting any that slipped through. How would you see if any had changed? A number have. Please confirm you wish to be removed.

Would you prefer a variation on your name? Like Paul or Paul E or P Estes?

You have identified yourself here before and on other forums. Why do you have an objection now?

I'm cool wit' it. I've used Cybo ever since 'Lawnmower Man' - the freaky Stephen King sci-fi film. If I really wanted to be anonomous I wouldn't be all over the web~!

When I signed up for this site it asked for a real name. I think if anyone signs up without following the rules of the site they are at risk of admin action. I suggest to the admins that that action be a private message to the persons, plural, (several others immediatly come to mind) informing them they will have to abide by the registration rules before being allowed to use the site logged in. I don't know the history of this situation but it's not cool to change someones info without prior notice to said someone.

Notification was given. Now I am saying "please".

Grant could things be set up so we could modify our headings to be the way yours is with your full name below your net name or the other way round? That might help avoid confusion. It can sometimes take a while to figure out who who a person is on other sites.

It is nice to see real names as the anonomous mudslinging that can take place on some sites can be annoying.

Would you prefer if full names were used?

I'll look into that. Any real name that serves to identify you is fine, some are more identifiable than others. Wouldn't want a bunch of "Bobs" for example.
