There is no real way of policing it though.

Yup, very easy to set up a Koos Koekemoer, etc profile on google+ / outlook.com / facebook / twitter etc, and then to use that "real" name to trickle down to a forum

Problem is if everyone suddenly changed their profile names to their real names we wouldn't know who is who.

 

You also learn Avatars, like Dale is that creepy canondale rider, Wayne is a rising moon, Vetseun is that 00:01 thingy. Tumbleweed is that naked guy, flat is a beer, Dips is that Spartan dude, Slowbee is a smurf etc...

Leave the profile pics as they are for a week or two... Or change the title above the avatar to the old hub name.

That would work - changing the title, as quite a few people have the 00:01 avatar at the moment.

Dunno...I have this irrational fear that some WebCrawler or Bot will take my name and surname, attach it in different combinations to gmail/yahoo/homail-addresses and then spam the hell out of me...And then build pyramids with it...

 

Edit: Spamming...I mean spelling...

PERSONALLY there are so many HIGHLY STRUNG PSYCHOPATHS HERE I REMOVED MY NAME off my profile

I've been the subject of such a rant, thanks to a radically misconstrued post that was purposefully taken out of context. Some of you may remember.

Well I am me. GEN is short for Genevieve. Can't think of anyone who actually calls me by my full name cause it takes too long.

 

Nice name, same as my daughters, I just call her Vievie.

that is why I have my name on my profile page. not hiding at all

 

No you don't. It's under the "Private settings" heading - i.e. only you see it on your own profile, no-one else.
