We would like to suggest that you use your real name rather than a made up identity.
Like in any community, it's easier to "Assume Good Faith" and build trust when you are interacting with a person. It just feels different to interact with real people rather than faceless pseudonyms like "3l337ninja".
For this reason, we encourage those who would like to join the community to share a bit about themselves. Becoming a CommunityMember is easy and fun and recognized by others when you:
- Include your real name
- Upload a photo
- Indicate roughly where you live
- Contribute to pages other than your own domain name on AboutUs.
If you'd like, create a user page now!
