Should we display real (first) names more prominently?

You seemingly didn’t read my first post and this feels disrepectful to me. Changing the setting would not require anybody to set their real name and it would also not hide the user name.

@_Chris I wasn’t aware of this. My profile on meta.discourse.org is publicly visibly and I thought it was the same way here. This changes a lot of course.

I would like to thank everyone who has added valuable arguments to this discussion. I didn’t see it like a battle, but in my eyes others saw it differently, which makes me a bit sad. Closing the discussion. (I’m still interested in your stance on this, @Monica.Ciovica :wink: )

Edit: Oh, almost forgot this: There were two or three trolls and we seemingly handled them well if you didn’t notice them. :smiley: :+1:

Okay so apparently it’s possible to set this feature up in a way that every user has to choose whether they want their real names displayed and unlike in meta.discourse it’s not displayed automatically as soon as a real name is set.


Forget that, I misunderstood.
