Do you judge the person online with his/her username?

Lol.. I used to think that certain users registered just to explore the world - not with the motive of becoming an active member really... so they used a foolish - stupid user name. However, with time they mixed with the community and became active enough to - may be - think that they should have used a proper user name. That's what I even did. Well, yours is a real name, right?

Well, I did that once - but it wasn't at mylot... it was at some Indian site - for earning money through your own cell phone- but I dont think it really worked. I left it already. LOL.

yes you are right. they may think to change their user names after enjoying being on mylot and interacting nicely with other users. but i see nothing wrong with your name. at least, for me it is like a name already regarding mine, well, that's an accident. when i filled the register form, i thought i have to use my real name as it will be connected with my paypal account etc. it will be great if i can change my user name, you know, something more up to date like russel crow or whatever LOL..

Yeah, we really come to know about the person from the online experience from with that person, but don't we have so kind of conception about the profile pic and the user name - we can atleast know how serious the person wants to be while he is at a particular place, and what is his motive behind...

Well, no you are not actually judging any user because of your not liking it with many digits - you just don't like it and that's it! But I like that you realise the user's traits only with online experience!

Sometime yes, it happened to me LOL. I don't really like username with too many digits on it, without particular reasons. Do I judge a person by the user name if I do that?

Thank you so much for replying and considering the discussion nice! Quite true... Happy Mylotting!

Good thoughts and nice expalantion! I liked it very much! Keep the good work going.

Its great that you are not influenced by the people's usernames and profile pics, and are purely on the topic! I like it... thanks for your response...Keep Lotting and Have a nice time! Nemo

It does seem little weirdo, but I thought, may be - there would be people who fall in the same line as me...

Yeah i wonder there may be some people even who may have such kind of judgement criterias as well... Cheers!!!

It seems interesting to discuss about personal lives, but however, discussing too much is harmful! lol. Your friends are lucky that you respond as many discussions of your friends as possible! So am I! Even I don't go after avatars - but when it is a very cool graphic, I do get attracted to it... love graphics really!@ lol... Thanks

Well, thanks for not considering me one... . Yeah, some users do turn out to be that way, well, but I really stopped caring about my reputaion this days since it doesn't matter me much now... it is increasing, I am happy but the more I tend to improve it and look after it, the more slower is the improvement... Hence. Anyways, the topic should always matter.. and its great thats the case with you! Good luck and Have a nice time!

Well, thank you. I believe you are doing very much right. But do you ever tend to have some idea of what the user would be like from the user name he uses? Did you have any judgement for me, eh?

Well, you are quite right and honest in your response... But I am not talking about their real names - its their user names.... the user names with which they register. Amagnimo is not my real name - its just my screen name. And its an English word - which doesn't have any meaning at all - because I worked out with my synonyms and just blend a new word - with no motive of coining a new term, really... and that's my screen name. This topic was my motive to be discussed... Thanks!

Lol... quite funny indeed... so you have some kind of aquaintance with something like Stardust? I remember it as a gemstone in one of the videogames I used to play. lol. Anyways, welcome to Mylot and thanks!

Well, I believe the same, but they should not interefere with the topics that you want to reply... Really, discussions are different thing, I learnt it already from all these 42 replies! lol. Thanks

Yeah - very true about books really. Welcome to mylot anyways. People tend to keep funny user names really, but it doesn't seem so cool or good to see silly insensible names at all - there are people who would have filled a user name in random like 'aojcaks10905' - this letters were typed in random - my brain had no connection with what I was typing except for the impulse to move finger on keyboard and press the key whichever comes! lol.

NO really - we actually mustn't judge people from their user names - I must already have left that trend by now... But I still can't stop believing that people should keep some good sensible user name, it seems no good to read a stupid username.

Wow... quite straight forward. But do you tend to have some views or ideas about the user when you read the user name or see the profile pic? Does your mind read the person's basic personality trait when you see that? I did think you to be straightforward and trustable when I first read your name - to be really honest. Well, but I haven't reached that level of understanding people that I can claim myself to be right. In fact, I know just one person who ACTUALLY can read people just from face... he did it with 8-10 people - he read the people's charecteristic from their photo. Wow! I mean, it wasn't anything that he used to bluff, he even tried that on me, and My gosh, all the things he said was true! Including what kind of things I Like! - Internet, Laptops, etc. He judged what kind of people I respect, and he even judged how I would be influenced by him! Really interesting that people have such talents. Hats off!

Well. Quite true indeed - mine one is something like a creative thing - I sat with dictionaries and thesaurus to make up this word- which practically has no meaning, and is derived from a few words - I don't really remember them, just one I remember and that is magnanimous. But this is quite interesting to create new names - I love doing that... I used to do that when I used to make fan-spells in Harry Potter - the naming ritual of the spells and charms used to be my favorite part! lol... But is mine one silly, or looks grand? Or what does it indicate?

Well, I am having nice time having responses from you... thanks! Lol. Yeah, sometimes people do have really silly username - mine's one of them too, but I haven't added the numbers which can really make someone think that I have registered by a silly name - cause many would think that this would be some regional word...lol

Well, I think the very same way - I wouldn't just shed off my replying to any discussions just seeing the username, but atleast, I can guess what is his motive, and stuff.

Well welcome to mylot, if you are gonna stay active...but its not always so... May be because many do register in that way, and you might know them... but I don't think there are people who use the opposite... Only a few who really want to be what they can't be... and they dont usually succeed in being a reputable and active user (atleast at mylot)...
