Lol, missed this the first time around.
CHANGING USERNAMES.
Change your pic all day, but what's the point of changing your name? There is no point beside to run from past posts and comments. I'm open to hearing another logical reason, but it better be good.
"The people changing usernames or creating new one's are blatantly obvious."
Obviously doing WHAT, exactly?

Before it comes up and you guys wake up, I know you can search past comments and posts even if a user changes their name. I get that. There are users that have started an entirely different account though. Curious2 brings up the old system of tracking aliases and I'd have to agree it might be a good idea to bring back. If I argue with my friends, I'm not able to just change my name from Bill to Peter and the argument goes away. Or if I was wrong. That's my point with this post.

The hand full of true trolls will find ways to keep posting nonsense garbage no matter what is done. You can spot them in about 2 sentences. so what is the difference?

This was my original name. Captain Shuddap was for educational purposes. To show the world how to deal with Smug Condescending Liberals who's antics saw no ends.
I was at war in 2012,
Basically what we see now on the streets how the Liberals shut down discourse they don't agree with. Was exactly how they were treating people here that weren't sucking Obama's balls with a finger up his asshole.
What I had 2112, Hussein, Liar Liar pants on fire, all three I tracked down to Tampa Bay Times. a whole slew of them doing the Internet version of "Hey hey, no facist nazis no KKK!" in every thread I posted.
Obama was elected twice because the Left successful intimidation on line, on the job, and in public. People were afraid if they didn't vote for Obama they would get fired.
Tenpoundbass saysI miss CaptainShuddap back in 2012, now there's a guy that saw Trump coming.
You've at least kept this username for a good while now. Thank you.

I think what he’s getting at is people who have established names then change them to mask their former troll like identities and history.
It happens a lot here. I know a few who have done it but just ignore it for the most part and flag if they get out of line.

Ding! Ding! Winner! You've literally proved my point in 8 words. There's ZERO point in ever changing your anonymous name on a forum. ZERO.
bob2356 says
While I agree with your sentiment, the quote above kind of lays it all out. It's an anonymous forum. Who gives a shit. Which the same could be said for me even starting this thread. But if you're petty enough to create a whole new account or even change your name, doesn't that signal some insecurity? Do people change their legal name when they get called out at work? Get their ass kicked? Lose an argument?
I guess I'm an oddball. Whatever. I will never change my name on an anonymous forum or create another account just to fuck with people. That's loser stuff in my book. I'd like to see the option go away and I think it would improve the site. I don't want to have to ignore a bunch of people (who sometimes while annoying, still have some good content) just to view the site. If I ignored the people I didn't agree with, I'm guessing I'd see maybe 25% of the content here.

Little do you know all these avatars are just patrick, and yourself. This is a 2 man forum. Its a micro truman show to see your reaction.
Proceed.

I've actually thought about that, lol. It would be funny, but almost impossible to perform with just me and Patrick. The amount of posting here would require full time dedication and I'm not sure that Patrick has monetized this thing.

They would if it was as easy as it is to do here. There are many petty insecure people in the world. Why does it surprise you to find some on patnet?

I am talking about what you say here. And yes it's still annoying. Sorry.
The bigger problem is the users that will legit create a new email address AND new patnet account. Again, still petty to change your name alone, no one does that in the real world. Not sure what joy anyone would get out of it either. It's the crazies that are creating a whole new setup that trouble me the most (email & account - not just name change).
Change the avatar, cool. But can someone please give me any logical reason, on an anonymous forum, that you would WANT or NEED to change your name? There is none.
(missed this, sorry for the late reply)
a) they are still there and b) your new identity and photo are still tied to them and displayed as such?

You didn’t read my post or comments here.... no biggie.
Which is an entirely different problem than what you posted.

My take is one email address, one username. If someone wants to play games and get a bunch of email accounts to circumnavigate the rules, they're probably losers. Block the IP address at some point.
The people changing usernames or creating new one's are blatantly obvious. The writing style is exactly similar. No interest in calling out users here since it's against the rules, but either make it completely anonymous or stop allowing people to change usernames. It's your site, so don't take this the wrong way. It's meant as constructive criticism. There are 3-4 trolls that change their identity every month practically. I'm starting to think it's the same damn person just fucking with the board.
