Thats why I would not report any more issues on redmine.

I just leave it here.

Edited: Wrong link >:( -
It certainly seems silly and arbitrary. Surprising that it's coming from JimT. The pfSense twitter retweets some anti-Trump stuff from time to time, and with Russia sticking its nose into the US elections perhaps there is some sensitivity there?
-
Who cares? I really don't.
There are no politics or any harm coming from me. The name selected 5 years ago, just whatever else it can be.
I would not change my name to anything, just because "he wants". -
Redmine and Github record change histories, and are used to generate change logs/release notes… so I would think it is reasonable to have a policy that users on those use their real names (or the names they are commonly known by, or at least not re-use the name of some "well-known" person (however you define that)). That way official release notes and... that acknowledge those who logged bugs or contributed or... will have "reasonable-looking" lists of names.
Of course such a policy needs to be written and published.
Then of course there will be lots of people called "Vladimir Putin" across Russia, not just the President. So for cases like that, someone would have to ask the person to declare that their name is "Vladimir Putin" and if they say yes, take that at face value.
The forum could have a different policy, or no policy at all on user names, because "the project" does not later redistribute forum threads as release notes/change logs.
-
Yes, Thats what I mean.
If policy accepts use of real name only I will use real, no problem, but not that way as just "change…not kidding".
EDITED: Just tired, sorry. -
There are lots of others with pseudonyms there, so if there is a policy it's certainly confusing.

@KOM:

I don;t think there is any official published policy - so as I said, such a policy would need to first be written and published, then enforced.
-
Perhaps re-register as Иосиф Виссарионович Джугашвили or Владимир Ильич Ульянов?
Eh… :P ::)
-
Yea, good point doktornotor 8)
-
Excuse the guy from not wanting his stuff to be a laughing stock filled with nonsense.
-
Expecting someone to change their name/ID etc. without any justifiable explanation is unreasonable.

I disagree - I guess it's house rules, though.
Everyone is talking about Russian hackers and whatnot and theres bug reports signed by V. Putin. Could you imagine someone scouring through this at some point and seeing that?
That kind of thing isn't tolerated in serious environments, and I don't know about you but my opinion is you can't get more serious than network security.
And hey, this would be hilarious on xkcd.

Would you feel better about it if it was the persons real name? Would you still expect them to change it? I'm sure there are plenty of V. Putin's in the world. Silly to say they wouldn't be allowed to use their real name. Assumingly because it's also the name of a famous person disliked by some.
In a fortune 100 company where user id's were, still are, constructed of first initial and first n characters of last name. Some times it created what some might consider to be vulgarities. So it was up to people to just be professional about it and take it for what it was. A user id. I say take it for what it is. It's just a name. Whether the persons real name or not it is still just a name. Stop making a federal case out of it. Mountains out of mole hills.

Conceptually I'm with you, contextually I'm not. I don't want to spread devious ideas but the last thing we want to find out is there are some devious people out there submitting bug reports that may or may not cause vulnerabilities.
In the grand scheme of things it probably is pointless. But in this paradigm, being IT, you are only as good as your data. Why even bother protecting it with security if it's just nonsense? Kind of defeats the purpose of what this is all about in the first place. It is about data. -
You are just being paranoid. I am not kind of "some devious people", so stop flooding here, W4RH34D.
The reason is just no reason or probably he is glued to TV/media propaganda and thinks that everybody who take the "Putin, Trump" or whatever name is an enemy of world order, who knows, he can explain or motivate me better but he just does not. Not providing policy nor commenting anything.
As I already said I don't want any revolution here or anywhere else, just put some Terms of use or policy onto redmine site and I'll follow it. -

If you have a problem with it, then it is more likely an ego issue more than that you have a real concern. I think you're taking this way too far. What is wrong with treating this project seriously?

I don't have a problem, but I see to much useless words and this is my opinion, looks like you have a problem with it :)
Sorry, really nothing personal, sure you can talk anything you want. -
What is wrong with treating this project seriously?
Seriously? Nothing wrong, but I think, serious project should publish own rules, policy, terms of use before take any action on a user, for example pushing him to change it's name to something else other then in the UNKNOWN list of prohibited well-known names and rejecting the real issue even if it's not just as critical to crash all over. It's just unprofessional. IMHO.

What is this? Irony day? It is clear you are trolling. You have a kind of script to you where instead of contributing original thoughts I just see my thoughts though mangled by your terrible interpretation spit back at me. What is your contribution here other than stirring up a mess?
-
Trolling? That's what I feel when reading your posts, really.
[sarcasm]Yea man, I've just registered 5 years ago just to troll you and all project around.[/sarcasm] :(
