Assigned usernames--bad idea?
I agree, fair criticism of the website is that at least "auto-generated" usernames are detrimental to the site.
I think pseudonyms might be needed for some people because some real people need pseudonyms because of the nature of this being a "nudist" social media website.
The Auto-generated pseudonyms are too much even for people who use pseudonyms. I do not want to lose anonymity, but nobody should get "verified" or "certified" if the person is not even creative enough to have a clever pseudonym. Nobody needs the auto-generation of usernames. It is too easy to go under the radar if that is the case.
At least getting rid of the computer-generated Pseudonyms is a good start.
The assigned names are way to similar too each other - I can't make sense of lists of viewers or messages. The little bit of information and creativity in user names is the first, and very important, clue about the person. And these particular sets of names are just dreadful!
I agree as well. The only good these auto-generated names serve, is to make it easier to spot scammers and trolls. It seems that almost every private message, and friend request, has been from new members with generated names for the past few months. FFS, you would think that these wankers would put in a little more effort to sign up.
I posted this in another thread, and encourage newbies to personalise their name if they can:
Yeah, that's the challenge. There were no generic ID suggestions offered back when I joined. They do seem to suggest a 'new' and possibly suspicious member, but if the opportunity to change it to a personalised ID is not obvious, then some genuine members shall miss it and, even worse, lock it in once they certify...
