I am on quite a few forums and the Alty fans forum is the only one where usernames can be changed at will.
Although regular users can usually work out who people are, a lot of less frequent visitors do get very confused who people are and their personalities are confused.
On the plus side some of the names are very amusing.
-
In fairness, the people that have a tendency to change their names on a regular basis are easily identifiable by the style of their posts. It's hardly an attempt to escape detection.
In any case, do we really have to know who a poster is in person for their message to be valid?
I actually voted undecided because I like the feel of the fence posts between.......ahemm, I've no real wish to change mine, but I've also no real wish to stop other people changing theirs.
-
Freeish internet. Change at will people.
-
I agree that it can sometimes take a while to work out who is who, however, If people want to change usernames then who are we to dictate to them.
The next thing will be a poll to ask "should topics be deleted if they criticise the club etc.
I don't change mine and I care not whether or not people know who I am

I personally think its absurd that we should have fixed pseudonym's.
Its a pseudonym, if someone wants to know who exactly it is behind the fake name they have made up to represent themselves on this forum they should just ask.
Otherwise just start another forum where everyone has to use their own names only and then their opinions will be judged based on 'who they really are' which is just someones opinion anyway.
If something is posted on here you agree with you have the option to post and agree. If someone posts something on here which you disagree with then you have the option to post and disagree. If someone posts something offensive then the moderators will remove it, regardless of their pseudonym. If someone repeatedly posts personal abuse they will have their account removed.
Maybe its certain peoples attitudes to those who say anything that goes against the grain that causes people to change pseudonyms in the first place. Maybe its jut a bit of fun. Maybe we take ourselves far too seriously???
-
I have to remember far too much in life already without the need to keep trying to work out who has changed their username and who they were before.
Its already a psuedoname therefore anonymous if you so wish, but absolutely no need to change it. I take far more notice of posts where I recognise the username rather than a new random name with 4567 posts who I think, I'm sure they've been around a while but I dont remember them.

might change my name to Hollands pies though.ROFL

I have changed my name on here as I have moved house and around the country. I think they. Have been pretty accurate and a lot of regular Alty fans work out who I am each time. I voted no in this as I believe in freedom of choice :)
-
This thread in no way makes me think you view the forum as something that creates negativity about the club and wanted to see it administered by the club.
No Siree.

Never mind we've won about 5 games in a calendar year,and the chairman keeps slagging of fans in the NLP I'm more concerned about people changing their names on a forum.

I haven't got a clue who anyone is. It doesn't matter. Play the ball, not the man.

There is one obvious reason to keep a constant user name, and that's reputation
If one can change a username at will then it's very difficult for someone to pick them up on any inconsistencies or contradictions. It diminishes the ability to judge someone on their reputation.
For example, if I went around telling everyone I thought Young was a great appointment, people could use this information to judge my future utterances on managers. Clearly it would be worth discounting my opinion on the issue.
If I can change my username whenever I want I can conveniently lose any past errors of judgement...

Arsed, what I care about is the state of our once great football club!
Have you ever kissed a girl?

The irony of a man who posts under the name "Pukka Pieman" advocating for greater transparency of forum users - so he can keep track of who is/isn't being critical of the board or poking fun at his community project...
If these "less frequent" visitors you appear to have canvassed are more concerned about what username Jamie is using this month than the content of the actual post, then I suggest they give their head a wobble. Unless Sybil Crowther or John Crewe happen to stumble across this forum - in which case, point taken.

I dont keep changing my name. How on earth all these other forums ever work with people just having one forum name defeats me ::)
Oh, and the Community project that has dramatically increased AFC income to everyone's benefit,.. so you're not in favour of it then?

sorry to be a bore but how has the increased revenue benefited the first team ? It certainly didn't make us competive with Harrogate for example

I think you may have missed the club statement that said we missed out on Nicky Clee because we couldn't compete financially with Harrogate Town

I have only ever had one forum pseudonym but would like to think I could change it should I feel that way inclined. One of the few pleasures in life for me (and it is a simple existence I lead) is stepping into the shoes of Randy Konk before my sporadic postings. Its a process not similar to that which Mr Benn went through in the changing room without the psychedelic adventures.
On a side issue, I would be greatly disappointed if Tommy Dickfingers ditched his pseudonym in favour of something more sensible.
I'm not drunk.

As an exile whose only contact with Alty fans is via this forum (I left Alty aged 5 and inherited the supporters affliction from my dad) it would be much easier to get to know people if they would keep the same name. it's all well and good for those of you who know each other to say you can work out who is who by the style of posts but it's not so easy when you don't have real people to match them too.

I actually can't believe there are people on here defending what we seen today! We looked more solid defensively? We could have been 5-0 down at half time. Also, 5 of the starting 11 today were Harvey signings. I understand he is limited to who he can get in at this stage of the season but most managers would be lucky to get the chance to bring in 6/7 players in the summer never mind mid season. Drastic changes/improvements needed pronto or it really is time to get ready for the Evo stick.

Now that a vote has been taken which was as conclusive as the Brexit vote was, when are the moderators going to change forum rules so that fans have to stick to one forum name?
Wasnt that democracy?

Sorry if 60% on Rowley out isn't conclusive then 51% here is no where near

So you agree that Rowley should quit on the basis of a forum vote then?

No, you may recall that the referendum was a government led initiative.
There's no actual harm or issue caused by being able to change forum names. There's not a single argument on this thread that makes me think it would be worthwhile.
Dare I say it, if we did this, some people may just find other faults with users on the forum with they do not agree.

Matt,
As Pukka Pieman has opted not to respond to your question, I'll have the temerity to answer it for you.
Research reveals that his previous user name on this forum was Alty Ian F.
