You speak out of my soul. When will forum nicks be independent from login names at last?! Yet this would mean changing the login name, since the forum nick is not and can't be hidden anymore :/zelee wrote:Yes, it's reasonable to lock out trial accounts from writing into most forums

For me, my account name is just as valid part of account security as my password is. Login name should remain unknown to anybody but the user himself. It is, essentially, *one half or your password*. Don't know about you, but I certainly don't feel comfortable showing one half of my password to everybody. It's like having two locks on your house door, yet giving one of keys to every stranger you meet.

It shouldn't be that hard to implement some kind of forum nicknames and show them instead of our login names...
