Maybe can suggest to have a username hide feature when posting sensitive or awkward posts.

I see many users just create a dupe account to post on cupid corner, constipation, parenting, salary section to prevent their gf, employers to know their usual LYN identity.

So instead of encouraging users to create dupe, I suggest a feature to enable to hide usernames or simply rename to other usernames in those sensitive sections mentioned above.

Me myself have created dupe too to ask for relationship assistance few years ago.

Kthxbye

Quite a reasonable suggestion here, I second this suggestion.

Hm.. Can't say that way thou. I believe there are forumers that has already met each other in real life before, because me myself have met quite a numbers of LYN forumer before too. Either is for business purpose (despite of COD, some are shop based, frequent meet up for trading & services) or kopitiam group gathering (location based most of the time) and eventually become friend in real life. So by having a function life this, I believe it can be handy especially come to privacy matters and perhaps helps in cutting down the dupe counts . smile.gif
