I see what you've done there. I wonder whether anyone else has noticed yet.

In addition to what @NearlyAugust said above I also name change on a regular basis depending on the time of year... I have Halloween, Christmas, New Year, Spring, Easter names.... and lots more, like ones I use for Telly Addicts, Games etc... I have nothing to hide and no malicious reasons. I don't think it's a bad thing to name change, each for their own.

And this. It is one of the things that is MN.

We may as well ban swearing and just merge into mediocrity

Fuck that! @AndNobbyDancing!!

I'd def be posting in Flouncers' Corner. ;)

In the old days I loved reading a good flounce! Don't think it's had a post in it for about 5 years!

I've just had the first thread where I am genuinely sad I can't name change. I could add something of benefit to someone in a difficult situation but can't as it would be revealing something identifying.

Can't you just dm them? But yes, it's a drawback to the new system.

That’s a shame @AndNobbyDancing

Do feel it has helped a lot to cut down the trolling on the Property forum though from the House Price Crash guys who were using multiple usernames on the same thread to agree with themselves & attack anyone with a different opinion. Expect it has reduced trolling on other forums too.

I guess it shows any changes Mumsnet makes will be beneficial to some people but feel worse to others.
