I wish when people selected a user name

[Davey Jones]

I fully agree ! + Even tho not required, members annoy me when they don't fill out their profiles and/or not have their location on their posts.

Well I happen to be one of those that prefers not to say too much about myself on any websites simply cause there are a lot of crackpots out there that want to harm you in one way or the other and its easy for them to do it with all the info some folks post about themselves.
I also hate it when families post pictures of their children and tell us practically where they live and what school they go to.

 

[AZ Jim]

Perhaps there needs to be stated guidelines when signing up. As some sites have for passwords. Then the usernames of newcomers would be acceptable. I, for one, am surprised that you can use just a simple name here. None of the forums I signed up with before coming here would. Mine was repeatedly refused, stating that the name had been already used. So, I gave up attempting to used it.

You can usually put a number behind the desired name, ND.

 

[Catraoine]

My name is different and I have always said to folk, just call me Cat, but I won't change my actual name as it has some special meaning for me.

 

[DoItMyself]

I use the same username on a number of forums. I use it because quite frankly, when I need something done I just dig in and do it myself.
