Yesterday, I was out and about in creating a new R2 account, so it asks me for my email, in which I put in along with password, birthday, and agreement. There is no place to put in a user name of choice, so I clicked on submit, and was taken into my R2 page (under the new account). Now my question is kind of two-fold:
1. Is there a place where we can create a real user ID in place of an email address like before?
2. How would it be shown in forums should I decide to use that to comment on a different R2 based forum (say, Shadowbound) since your R2 account is across all forums and can't be arsed with changing the signature?
A few pitfalls I find with this way:
1. Many people will see your email address, and send you spam (or put you on lists you never signed up for).
2. People can use that email address to hack facebook or that email service in reseting a password to hijack it.
Personally, I don't like having my email address anywhere, even the ones I used to filter out junk from my real one. So an answer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
