Why can you use a different nickname for replies but not new threads?

Shouldn't it be the other way round? Doesn't the "use a different nickname" option encourage sock puppets? I'm very confused.

Hullo Appletini - can we double check you're seeing this option on the app, and not on the mobile site?

Yes, this option is available on the mobile site because NCing on the mobile site is a faff. Not sure why it's not available for starting new threads - is likely to be an oversight rather than a deliberate decision I should think! We will check with the people developing our exciting new mobile site whether this option will be available for new thread-starters then.

You can only change to nicknames that are already assigned to you (ie names you've already namechanged to in the past), I think?
