Hey guys, can I ask that, how to set the real name for the sceners?

You can not. That is an admin-only feature, for the reason that we do not identify people who do not want to be identified. So, unless the person in question gives explicit permission and/or they have their name and handle publicly available on updated social media, we err on the side of caution and do not display that information.

menace: That's a load of horseshit and you know it.

havoc: What the actual crap is your agenda with these random bursts of negativity, really? Feel free to step forward and explain what you mean with your outbursts, or you are welcome to stay in your own corner and be a sour patch over there.

We absolutely mean what we say, and we are serious about being a good-natured place to discuss the demoscene.

Sure, you mean what you say, that's why I had to argue for days with you to get my name off this site! For the record, that's not negativity, just the truth :)

As far as I can see, you discussed that not with me but with another admin, who made a notice you wanted it removed on january 19th 2015.

For the record, you have a history of negative, sarcastic, aggressive and confrontational behaviour and language here (and elsewhere), which is what lead to my wording it in that particular manner. I'm sure you're a nice guy in person - most people are - but online and in this context you're not coming over like that. That might be something you'll want to work on.

Congratulations on the rapid switch from speaking for your team to just yourself, that's so skillful of you indeed! Furthermore, I don't care a whole lot about your analysis or advice, so I'll just end this message by wishing you a great day! (Even though I realize you could spin a shitty day equally well :))

To add a bit of info to complement what menace said in post #2: We might have this info in the database, regardless of what's being shown. There's an internal permission field for describing the circumstances of why/how the name is being shown or not. For public display, there are checkboxes that we can toggle, where we can show first or last names separately. So there are nuances of privacy levels possible. :)

So how does one go about checking what hidden data you have collected on their person?

As far as I'm aware of: Asking. There's no "hidden data" with the exception possibly filled name fields tough.

Why not just remove the realname information alltogether? Hardly serves a purpose.
