Can we have a topic where name changing is not allowed?

Lots of people feel the 'atmosphere' has been somewhat lost, due to MN becoming so big and so many people name changing for dubious reasons.

So how about a new topic where name changing is not allowed?

So to post in that section, you choose a different name (much like in Mumsnet local). But you have to stick to that name only.

That way, in that section at least, there would be less arses/goady fuckers/Billy bullshitters and drama llamas, hiding behind name changes.

People will become 'regulars' again (in that section at least) and when you go there to chat, you'll at least 'recognise' other people.

OK I'm sure there are 1 million reasons why this is a stupid idea/impossible to set up, but can anyone think of them? Grin

Hi guys, I'm new to MN. What a great site, you're all so witty and clever. I don't want to out myself but I'm married to someone very, exceedingly famous. Wink

I'm very excited the site has actual royalty.

An inhaler Zombie also has. No. Wrong that is. Three inhalers Zombie has. Need them she does not.

NoRose, as a bienew good it is that a posting history you seek to build.

TiggyD · 01/01/2016 23:55

Inhalers -fine. Death stars - not fine.

(Wasn't sure if I should have capitalised Death star. Is it a descriptive name or is it actually a trademark?)

MummyToSparklingetc - Gosh! How urban. We're all groovey hip-cats here I assure you.

Good luck to them then, wading through watercress and Yoda speak. Grin

I an image that I feel is properly representative of the post Christmas slump in the Scone household - the dog is currently asleep under the Christmas tree.

She just needs the traffic cone.

RebeccaMumsnet · 04/01/2016 13:57

There'll be no head patting here!

We have had a read and a think and we like the idea but it is a technical nightmare. That's not to say it's a no forever but it's a not-right-now .

If folks still want this feature later on in the year, we can have another look.

Apologies that it's not the answer you wanted and that it's taken us a while to get back to you all but we wanted to chat to those in the technical know before making a decision.

Happy New Year all.

TheZombieIAm · 04/01/2016 14:01

Understand TheZombie does but sad she is.

Thanks, Rebecca.
