but then you should als oallow for people to *change* their username

see CallerNo6's dilemma earlier also for example.

I'd also agree with not allowing completely differnt names too
2016-02-29 06015, 2016
CatQuest
but i'd also think it's fine with *small* variation, ie : "CatQuest" vs "CatCat" but not "Barnaby McCattaracht"

CatQuest notes that on jira he is ZaphodBeeblebrox (which could be changed i wish)

Well, my understanding of that is that we don't generally allow username changes for the same reason I would enforce the same username in Discourse: because it's harder to know who everyone is if they change username at will. But I'm not even sure tbh, maybe it's just because a username change feature never got written...
2016-02-29 06045, 2016
CatQuest
both i'd assume
2016-02-29 06037, 2016

but also.. I agree.
2016-02-29 06037, 2016

people should change their name 3 times a month (lol me saying this)

buuuut..

2016-02-29 06038, 2016
CatQuest
people use names
2016-02-29 06001, 2016
CatQuest
and people associate themselves with different names over time
2016-02-29 06019, 2016
CatQuest
people are , as always, the problem
2016-02-29 06046, 2016

sorry that ist sentence should say "people SHOULDN'T change their name 3 times a month (lol me saying this)"

2016-02-29 06027, 2016
CatQuest
it should be like.. mandatoryally keep it for atleast 5 years or something, and if you *do* canhe it, there should be a ledger showign all past usernames you had, and there should be an icon or stm next to your username which means "you've changed name recently"
2016-02-29 06042, 2016

OR allow *small* variation
2016-02-29 06018, 2016

or a *small* pool of alternate names. like Leftmost -> Leftmost cat

For internal Brainz sites, we could get away with not storing username/email in domain-specific user tables, and instead store user id. That would make central name/email changes no harder than it is now
2016-02-29 06050, 2016
Leftmost
It would also require storing all basic user information in shorter-term cache.
2016-02-29 06028, 2016
LordSputnik
But you get that information in the OAuth response anyway

(/oauth2/userinfo, that is)
2016-02-29 06011, 2016

Right, you get it in the OAuth response, but then you need to cache it for display, at least until the next OAuth call.

Not saying this is a dealbreaker, just pointing it out.

CatQuest: You were not supposed to have registered yet. I did just delete one user because I couldn't figure out what their username on MB was. As reosarevok said, it's supposed to be a continuation of MB, so we'll want usernames to be the same. I'd be happy to support a request from you to change your username on MB (and subsequently on comm.meb.o), even if I can't actually do the change myself (yet?).

If you (or Gentlecat) had registered now, you would not have been able to change your Discourse username in the first place.
that looks like it could avoid this confusion, since there would be no separate account creation

Freso: I think we should have a new “Discourse” component in JIRA. That way, we have a clear view of which old-forums ticket still need to be handled (either wontfixed if no longer relevant, moved to Discourse if still relevant, or fixed in whatever form the forums are archived).
