Anonymous names

Why are some words for anon names so bad/negative meaning?
I saw some names that include words such as:
killer, loser, dumb, kidnapper, racist

Just saying, from all the words you can use to form unique anon names you chose these with such negative meaning? :/

Re: Anonymous names

In history, we have learned about many negative anonymous writers. What is the difference? If you get a bad name the world will not go down.

I guess you doesn't know what the thread maker talked about. Try read some more times.

Re: Anonymous names

Did you not get the chance to voice your opinion on anon names? Where we are now it's just slightly set in stone. Changing it now would mean changing every anon name in topics past. Unless you only modified the words while keeping the starting letter and number of words constant. For example replacing noun "killer" with "kitchenette" and adj "stupid" with "salty". Then only the names with those specific adjs and nouns would be changed, which would be a tolerable amount of change IMO if there was enough support for the change in the first place.

So this is possible, but with a catch or two.

Re: Anonymous names

Idk when or where was anon being discussed. I don't see any hurt in changing past anon names but if not many people care about this, then fine -.-

well the essence here is losing track of who exactly made what post... so if I quoted "redracist" and we changed names, you'd be looking for "red rhino" or something. If there's a number, things would be slightly easier to figure out, but still with a layer of ambiguity.
