Just a little pet peeve...

Postby Kyrit » 08/13/2010 8:53 PM

Okay, so I know everyone loves nicknames and all since it can mean not having to type out a long name. When you are posting in an official list, don't use those. Just because you know the nickname doesn't mean I do. Personally, yes. I do know that haunting-ur-nightmares is usually called HUN because it's a lot shorter. Also, I know Mojave is also called Zein since that used to be her old username. That doesn't mean that I will always know the person you are talking about. What about if you say Sky? You could mean the actual user Sky, or you could mean SkyWolf11.

Anyways, yes. Just... please don't do it. It bothers me because it's something official yet people aren't very formal when they do it. If you've done it in the past I won't kill you for it, but this is for all future posts.

I much prefer to be called Tawny. Is this okay, since my username is evinrude6113?

should people now call me Firetra or Dragon or Dragonice959 as they use to now?

Evin: You have to go by your username, not a nickname, is what Draiz is trying to say.  You can use a nickname with friends, but if you're posting in ownership records or something like that, you need to use evinrude6113.  There is the option of simply changing your username though.  Just PM Draiz asking to change your username to Tawny, and then you can go by that all the time.


Firetra: You would go by your current username, since that is, well, your username.  xDDD


If you knew knew what the bluebirds sang at you
You would never sing along
Cast them out cause this is our culture
These new flocks are nothing but vultures

Because they took our love and they filled it up
Filled it up with Novocaine and now Im just numb
And don't mind me, Im just a son of a gun
So dont stop, dont stop until your heart goes numb
I dont feel a thing for you

It's not that you have to go by your username at all times. It is simply when trading pets that your full username must be supplied. Otherwise the person handling the records may not have a clue who you are.
