Hmmm this seems annoying for you! Really good example of the value of user flairs

So long as this is a public community it feels like a perennial problem. Though private communities aren’t here yet, it seems you and the mods here want this to be a relatively public community. So community specific user flairs seem like the only workable solution (where there could be a default “use handle” flair or something or a requirement for first time posters to select a flair).

Don’t know if there’s an issue for it or others pushing for it, but this situation seems like an idea case for its value.

I messaged dessalines about it at some point I think.

Ah right. Makes sense. Sorry for jumping in then if that was annoying/repetitive.
