Hello MNHQ

Apologies if this has been suggested before!!

Oneone of my previous threads on this forums, you guys advised me why you have the username change facilities!!! That's great and I see your point!!

I find it had to follow names and get to know posters and their views/stance etc

My suggestions: A new MN's member or an existing member has one main name, like the one they use the most.
Then, have a permanent second name that could be used as a secret name, EG, those that know you via your main name wont know your second name.

This IMHO, will make it easier for posters to embrace or not the main names and or the second names, a way of building trust and respect, etc, etc, IMO

I hope I'm clear as often reading back the forth time my longer messages get a bit diff to follow, so sorry about that!!

Please lock the thread if this has been considered previous;y!! Thank you ll!!

I don't know why but I was thinking of a weekly sitter like you have for the kids on date night rather than an annual sitter. I thought what an awesome job! Blush 😂

EDIT - and this is one good reason name why name changes are essential. I don't want to be known as the dumbass hamster sitter person for eternity 😂

There you go, DSCommentator. The perfect answer to why we don't want your system.

Honestly, mush easier to like, ignore, trust,etc posters IMO

I don't want you to like me. I beg you to ignore me Grin and I do not trust you. Not sure anyone does tbh. I can smell trouble at 100 paces and you have a very definite whiff of fish. Is your list of posters you trust very long? Do you keep a notebook?

Absolutely howling bonkers!

Now. Shall I save you the bother and just report my own post or just leave it to you? I know you enjoy it. 🙄

My fabulous cat sitter sends me videos of the cat(s) playing, eating & enjoying being fussed when she’s with them. I expect hamster sitters do that too but the videos might not have so much in them.

You have a hamster sitter? 😮

I have not only had a hamster sitter but have also boarded my hamsters with a lovely lady during a long Christmas holiday. I had to negotiate their return to KnitnNatter Towers as she fell in love with them and wanted to keep them
