What do I get?

I think senior member is gone now. Seems it was replaced with our real name's. GREAT

That was a mistake guys, it was supposed to be your real names from the beginning. Something went wrong and it's been corrected, there were other strange names issued to some as well. It will take a little time to get all the bugs worked out - please bear with us.

Just trying to work through some of the new features, being fairly computer illiterate and all. How does this buddy list thing work?

I changed mine over for a reason. If I wanted my name on the internet I would have put it there. For this website to use deception in order to put names with the handles is a real slap in the face. Please remove it.

Deception? Its been pretty much common knowledge that they want ya to use your name in some way. Theres a post in this thread that specifically addresses the "issue".





Changes



So please explain how you think you were decieved?

Guess I missed that one. I would still like my name removed ASAP.

So does this mean that since our REAL names are now listed and no nameless people are now here,DO WE HAVE TO WEAR A SUIT AND TIE WHILE POSTING?????,,Give me a break here,seems like a reverse censorship deal to me,,So now ANY jabloney that visits can have our name and seek us out,,Do we at the BIG desk not think that all the NON member email crap we endure is enough,NOW they can get our names TOO,,,WHAT A FRIGGIN DEAL!!!!You know providing our names and email addresses to REGISTERED members is one thing,,BUT,WHY OH WHY,in this day and age of high tech computer stuff can't the BRAINS behind the operation here make the names and email addresses ONLY available to PAID suscribers and REGISTERED members,,So the answer to me is simple,IF you feel the need to display OUR real names and email addresses,Then it should be only to those who paid there way to be here,THATS the bottom line!!I'd bet there are more than me who feel this way... ... ...

And I thought that the "Saint" was just fessing up to his talents.

That is a good feature, but the name thing is not!

Ok,

The email display is a good thing, bravo.

Now lets get this name thing removed or at least sheltered in the same manner at a bare minimum.



PLEASE

Remove the names. If I wanted my name on here, I would have made it part of my sig.

Please keep your posting on this subject in one thread. With several different threads in several different forums some "posts" or opinions are bound to be lost just by overlooking them.



Also if you will read the thread in the "Main Forum" you will see they are concentrating on the performance issues first and then will discuss the name thing.



It will be in the best interest of both the "users" and the "management" if we were to keep this all in one thread. Its the best way to get everyone "heard".



P. S. - I bet your name is more on the "net" then you actually realize... ... ... and this is my opinion as a "Reader" not a "Moderator".

I'm sure you're correct. I still dont like to make it more often than absolutely necessary.

With all the hi tech tools, and programs, software etc. etc. I'm certain that "the powers that be" can make it so that our names are viewable to say... only other members.

I dont want to get into a ******* contest, just would like my name removed. JMO.

Not trying to start one... ..... just trying to get everyone to post in one single thread so that the "volume" of the opinion will be heard. It would benifit the users to post in one single thread on the issue rather then scatter it about on different threads.

 

[The patriot]

Sorry if I came off a little loud on this Eric. I'm going through some BS with a stolen SS#, so I'm a bit passionate on this since this happened.

You wouldnt believe the s#^t you have to go through to get your own SS# back. I wouldnt wish it upon my worst enemy.

I deleted this posting in honor of the TDR's decision to review the names policy!



Thank you!
