Why require First & Last name?
-
If Vivaldi is so privacy concerned, why do you make us fill out a First & Last name when registering for an account?
-
@drizzt321 Vivaldi doesn't care if your first name is Fake and your second name is Sofake. I bet it's a nodeBB thing. Just put anything in there. Personally I went with
luetage _

@luetage Right, I put in fake ones as well. I could see it possibly being required by the backend, but then why not put a note somewhere, or modify (and push upstream) to not have it required?

@drizzt321 Since this is about the forum, I have moved the thread.

@drizzt321 I think it's a little bit more complicated. I know I used to have just one name in there and when the new blogs got introduced I had issues publishing. While troubleshooting with a community manager they pointed out that it's possibly because I have no last name. So yeah, maybe it's the wordpress plugin? Hard to tell. I don't care about the requirement, anyone can come up with a fake name. But you are right about one thing… Vivaldi could put a note on sign up telling users that they aren't required to use their real names. Would make sense.
