Linking usernames? Urgent safety concern

A poster on page 3 of this thread says that premium subscribers can see all a posters user names? Is this true? If so, this is a major safety concern for me and - I would imagine - quite a few other posters, especially those in abusive situations, who may be identifiable.

If it is true, I need to have all my posts removed, as well as deactivating my account. Please advise urgently on how I can do this.

Hi @MissLucyEyelesbarrow and anyone else that's concerned about this.

We just want to reassure everyone that Premium members are not able to see a poster's other usernames. Only us at MNHQ are able to do that, so there's absolutely no need for any alarm.

We think the post on the thread that you've linked to was posted by someone who was implying that there was some sockpuppeting going on (and possibly trying to make the person they thought was sock puppeting nervous).

We're getting in touch with that poster to confirm this but in the meantime, please be assured that no one can link your usernames.
