UsingRealNames
We welcome you to become an AboutUs community member. The first step is to create a user page. The first step in creating a user page is to enter your name.
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 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!
