Block it if you want no idea what password is.
TBH, it’s not been used in three years, I’m not hugely fussed. I just thought it was amusing, I quite enjoy the Inspector Clouseau side of the job.
Why can’t it just be done?
That’s a good question, and one I’m perhaps not best qualified to answer. My understanding is that it’s primarily to prevent abuse, in so far as there’s a complete audit trail of your activity; particularly important with the classifieds. If you can change your name at will, it invites people to be complete asshats and then wipe the slate clean with a new name. Plus, without that continuity, it breaks the flow of threads.
On the back of that, it has to be an all or nothing policy. Otherwise we get into a messy situation of “well, he changed his, why can’t I change mine” and chaos ensues.
I think, anyway. There’s probably more to it than that, but that’s my understanding.
