  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Real names...

Michael,

Interesting story. If you are a business person who houses their gear at a place of business apart from your residence then there is a little less to worry about. A business insurance policy is easier to get and collect on than a rider for business equipment in your home. There is less risk to your family. Just to be clear though, the home invasion point was just one illustration of possible risk. It isn't the only negative.

The first name last letter idea is a twilight zone of anonymity in any event.
Why not full surname as well?
Is a separate anon forum a good idea?

The last initial whether it is acceptable or not, is a small but effective insulator from the search engines. A query for Michael Brennan will not turn up results for Michael B.

I wouldn't ask Red for an anon forum, but when I become an owner I would certainly be interested in a private forum just for owners and select guests. That could easily be an invite only kind of arrangement that would require far fewer man hours to maintain and moderate than it is to screen all manner of online applicants.

I didn't throw my hat into this ring in hopes that prolonging the debate would change anything. I understand that the time for debate is over. I just wanted to make the opinion known, and voice some disappointment because is isn't a choice that I am relishing.
 
You make some valid points if RED required you submit your full name, but as you have rightly noticed, RED only requires first name and last initial. There is plenty of anonymity in that. I just think this is an important distinction to remind the forums of as it may save more needless rumination on this matter.

And also, there is no reason for you to assume that just because my username is Antony M, that my first name is actually Antony or that my surname really does start with "M".

Therefore, I think we can still remain as anonymous as we wish, whilst using a first name/last name policy.

Regards,
Cecil B Demille
 
Wrong account

Wrong account

Hi,

Please ignore this username, as I have only created it so that I can post in this thread...

My correct username is AntonyCASAFilms.
Which has my real name in it.
If this does not comply, then do you want to change it to AntonyM ?

I have sent about 5 emails but received no reply, and now my account shows as Banned.

It looks like the admins changed the wrong account.
I now show as only having made 4 posts, instead of the several hundred which I made.
Also, when I go to the control panel to correct my email address, it says "The email address you entered is already in use".

Please enable the account which was "AntonyCASAFilms" to be AntonyM, not this one.

Thanks.

Hi there, looong time lurker, 1st time poster, soon to be RED One owner (hopefully this fall)

My real name is Charles Ravussin

Cheers
 
I have to agree with Joseph, Lineup is registered at August, thats only like a day or two ago, which begs the question, shouldn't we be like immigration? Questioning the names of people, as in when its not following 'Real Name' policy, given though this is a difficult process understandable but if the front door is open its going to be even harder surely...
 
I went to re-register but it said my email was already in use, so I'll try to change my name via this route. Please change my user (ofx) to Jeff Nielsen.
Thanks!
