Nickname rejection solution

Make sure you read it
Its also a solution
The suggestion was rejected for confusion
so I got a solution:
By adding @%realusername% right next to a nickname
so it will stop confusion
You change the nickname in the account settings
and the real name will be right next to your nickname
if you don’t set the nickname
then the nickname will be to your realname
it can be automatically changed by the ST for things just like the username one
and it has a filter


The solution applies to forums, profiles and comments
also it can be useful if someone is impersonating

But will this affect the Username URL?

So, changing the display name but it still shows your username clearly?

Me when my last 2 posts about the same exact thing get taken down so I make a 3rd one:

Please stop reposting your suggestion, it got taken for a REASON

use contact us to get your post taken back up instead of just reposting

this is like robbing a bank, and then letting yourself out of jail because you think you were arrested for hostage taking instead of bank robbery

Nickname rejection solution

Support, I would like to have a nickname, just a question, with this new nickname feature, would a url look like:
https://scratch.mit.edu/users/@MulitigenderMess-/
and theoretically I could have my nickname be “Multigender Mess (School)”?

So - this is text that would appear next to the username wherever the username shows up now? Almost like “flair” on some other websites/

I think it would appear as
Nickname @Username

This sounds almost like a built-in Scratch version of ocular statuses.
