The better question would be why would you choose a nick that resembles the hosts name? It's pretty obvious why it was changed. They cannot have a loose cannon on the board appearing to represent the site.

Then have the courtesy to inform me through email or such. How am I to know there is a restriction to a nick/ID which we had choosen? its just a generic nick, those who know this site knows that there is always a "MODERATOR" beside the nick of the hosts. I am just a newbie member pls.sundaymorningstaple wrote:The better question would be why would you choose a nick that resembles the hosts name? It's pretty obvious why it was changed.

Why did you change it to sgexpat, knowing that is also a forum for expats in Singapore?
I agree with sgexpat, you should have just told him not to choose the nick he chose and then advise him to change it to another one he or she likes.
Bit silly, don't you agree?
Fair enough. But why change it to Sgexpat? Coincidence?sundaymorningstaple wrote:Having said that, I will admit that I was the one who brought it to Admins attention and to have a look. I did so because if the poster started posting garbage it would look like it was being done by someone connected with the site. Trying to explain it away with the Moderator/Admin/Newbie tag doesn't cut it. I actually queried Admin on the 12th, a week before the nick was changed, e.g., the day he/she started with his/her first post. It wasn't until a number of posts in the 'Relocating, Moving to Singapore' and 'Staying and living in Singapore' Forums on the 19th that Admin did something about it.
