Character name can't be hidden.

I know the mods here read this post, can we get a word as to whether there is a chance of a hide feature at all?

I hope they don't offer any hide feature.
Why? Because anyone who hides on a mule isn't contributing anything worthwhile, if they were, they wouldn't be hiding on a mule. Personally I think it would be nice if this site made you log in with your main characters name and post from that and it displayed your server as well as linked to your linkshell community beta page, and they should update LS community to be as awesome as guildwork or ffxiah, it would eliminate a lot of the stupid ideas/rants/posts and make these forums a lot better. Giving people the ability to hide will result in more hordecores and stupid trolling, why would anyone want that?

The post was asking the staff, I'm well aware some love seeing peoples char names but I wasn't asking that.

The vast majority of stupid posts I've read on here were made by a linked poster, your idea although nice does not work out that way in reality. Check the forums yourself.

What have you done that's worthwhile to this forum? Almost everything everyone posts here is garbage, don't even try that "worthwhile contributor" rubbish.

I and many otehrs are hiding behind mules, we don't care enough to troll anyone. If certain people are a problem, ban them.

The vast majority of dumb posts/threads came from hordecore, who doesn't post anymore, lets keep it that way.

All I've ever really done is crusade against bad ideas for ninja. I did do/post the math for why throwing is terrible, why ranger is terrible, why ninja is terrible on anything remotely difficult and why yonin and innin are garbage though.

SE won't need to ban them if they make them link their character name and server, then people will be more careful about what they say, or just become a joke in game and not just on the forums where it didn't matter what you said, until now.

Still waiting on examples.

Still waiting on examples.

Runespider and Atomic_Skull, in a sense, are providing examples in this thread: themselves. It's unfortunate that their examples run counter to their argument, but that's hardly a stumbling block in public discourse these days. Thinkin' and logic is for nerds. The correct line of argument is the one that feels right, man.

He didnt post from behind a mule.

Yeah so nothing any better than anyone else.

If people want to be a problem knowing their ingame name won't stop them doing it, they don't care >.> If people are using a mule it doesnt make them a troll/bad poster either. Nobody cares about what you post on a forum ingame as to it ruining a persons rep for being a dumbass, even moreso in the abyssea age.

Oh, you mean Hordecore is still posting? last I saw he hadn't registered a character.

It helps a lot, because people who hide behind a mule are basically known to be full of it. Look at that melee SMN guy for instance, and as I said, Hordecore doesn't even post anymore and never registered a character, that alone was worth it.

On the other hand, you could have just listed a low level job on your main so everyone would assume it's a mule.

You know, there are stupid people in the world and sadly a good majority of them play online games. I'm always telling my LS guys that they need to be careful of the enemies they make, otherwise some grand SE idea (Such as this one) Will make it a very hard situation for them.

While I don't think it's entirely a bad idea, I think that sometimes it makes things harder on people than it has to be because of said stupid people.
