I've put up with a lot of crap from this site. I don't expect much. We're using each other. You use me for ad revenue, and I use you to build a reader base. You've been utterly unresponsive to feedback I've offered since I started writing on this site, but that's fine too, you don't have to respond to me.
BUT.
If you're going to update the site with a change that puts author's full names, as opposed to their pen names or usernames, give us a warning. Putting aside that many of us prefer to write with anonymity, others of us have already started building a brand around our name. When you screw with our name you screw with our brand.
I'm honestly speechless. Are you all trying to go out of your way to screw with your authors? Would be nice if you had given the rest of us a heads up so we could protect our brand and our privacy.
