How would you change Element 14?

Catwell
Element-14 is a fun, and ever growing, website to visit. I've had over a hundred troubling problems solved here. There are a lot of benefits to being on E14, like Roadtests and CadSoft.


But, you visit here, what would you like to see on the site? What should be different? Have an opinion? Voice it.

  • Get rid of the idiotic site policy of using a person's full name for their postings, instead of their username.  It's bad enough that employers are trying to look at everyones' Facebook profiles to see if there's anything disagreeable in there.  Not having anonymity means people won't express their true opinions about things.

    One of the good things about Element 14 is that mostly people use their real names. It's meant to be a cut above Facebook and other such nonsense. I don't want to read opinions the author won't stand behind and I don't have any wish to express ones that I'm ashamed to put my name to. (my email address is public on Element 14 as well)

    It is a very interesting discussion, one I don't think there is a correct answer and both sides are equally valid. I think some people expect element14 to be a forum style site for discussions, where psuedonym's are almost exclusively used, and others expect a social media site where names are openly displayed and real life connections are made. In reality it's what you want it to be, with maybe a bit more of the latter.
