Listen closely, there is meaning in my words.

- Smooth Criminal
Finally got this page to update.
Mako - stay out of it.
Not even asking you to. I'm *telling* you. I'm making a point and your attempt to subvert it is not appreciated. I'm not "bringing up drama again" - this is not a discussion of that. But this is between me and Aaron, and you have a very nasty habit of doing this sort of thing - and this is an occasion where you need to quash that instinct completely.
He made a point, I made a counterpoint. Simple as.
Thank you.
Excuse me? Stay out of what?
When did this thread become just about you and Aaron? If you want to discuss something explicitly between you and him, and that's all, PM him. But I've already just been told by Aaron, he does not like where he works being posted about in public. So leave that out of this thread please.
John Marston said:Since when is this about you? Where is this "we"? He made a point of his post to single out Aaron.
"We" as in the staff, as in the enactors of the policy on user name changes. This is what he was talking about. I'm explaining it.
Well it is extremely confusing. I'd be happy if there were no name changes at all. Are these the same complaints that Aaron was talking about? Because I could understand them then, when this policy was first introduced, but that was before groups of friends had formed and everyone go to know each other well enough that they are pretty identifiable to the majority of people with or without an AKA field. If new members stick around and get integrated into this place, it stands to reason that they would do a good job of keeping up with what their friends changed into regardless of an AKA field.
Well we don't want to just throw out the whole system to begin with, hence we did the AKA field stuff. And that should still be respected because not everyone is familiar enough with the members here to recognize every single poster without the aid of the AKA field. That's just how it is.
I personally don't think its unfair. But I do think having to have a comprehensive list of every username you've had is pretty absurd. The AKA field should be there to show people your most recognisable usernames, rather than the ones you just kept for a week or ones you adopted as part of a theme.
We don't need a comprehensive list. But including your most well known user name, and the last one you used is a pretty good start. I think that'd be enough.
