Hi folks, @Cory, @Robert: Disabling the forum isn't an option, I think. After the forum get online, I recieved so much positive feedbacks, that users are happy to have the forum instead of mailig list. There were also people who were using the ML for a long time, but they were happy finally move to the forum. So, as Robert said, we should try to solve our problems, before just creating a gap between forum and ML users! And if we now think about, what we are discussing here, it sounds somehow (sorry for my poor english, but I do not know how I could say this more politically correct) "childish"!
1. I've changed the template now, so that it looks like: ------- Hi, ... Thank you! Cheers, user_realname ------- (user_name) is replaced by user's real name. However, if users do not like to follow that etiquette, what should I do then? 2. Before i will suspend user accounts, I have to implement the possibility of giving users the possibility to change their messages before it get sent to the ML, as I said before. So this will take time. 3. I still do not understand whats wrong with having only the first name in the profile. I understand that we need to be able to track message sent by the users before, but this is done by the forum's software automatically. You can get the history of message. If I have a discussion with somebody, I do not care, if his name is "John Clooney" or "John Montgomery". Yeah, even google-mail client, do remove the last part of the name, so that only first name is visible ;) I think this is also the reason, why almost half of the forum users, do put only their first names in their profile. I mean people still want to stay somehow "anonymized" and I think this are their rights.
