Title: Username opinion
Post by: pintofwater on February 07, 2013, 05:51 am
What is everyone's opinion on having your forum username the same as your buyer/seller username?

If you're not a vendor then I wouldn't really worry about having the SR forums username the same as on SR. I would suggest just keeping it under two different usernames. I use to have both usernames identical as well but "forgot" the password for my account on the forums so I just started out new this time with a completely different name. Every bit of security counts.

I addressed this recently in a thread:

Alot of good points on there

Long story short: it probably doesn't really matter in the end.  But I (and many others) are just more comfortable keeping them different.  I do kind of regret it sometimes when I want the guys I order from to notice my name or something from the meth thread... but they're too busy for that shit anyway, so it doesn't matter  ::)

Personally I would not use the same login. Twice as many things LE can connect to you.

My guts were telling me to use different nicknames, which I did. Can't see any privileges using the same nickname?
