Hi - I'm unsure what a search by "user" name is. That's someone's REAL name, correct? As opposed to one's "ARTIST" name? If so, then I'm for stopping it. Anyone who is looking for my art knows me or has heard of me by my artist or "branded" name which I use everywhere I post on the 'net. I've known a number of artists here who have been hounded relentlessly with much cruelty and have had to change their artist name and then had sign up with a fake name in order to continue unharrassed because their real name could still be found. Or they just left. I know one lady who had her personal business website hacked badly a couple of years ago because they found her real name here and followed that lead back to her site overseas. She has now lost the use of a "brand" that has made her a decent bit of money and recognition over the years and now posts anonymously here if at all. Banning someone for a violation doesn't work. They just rejoin with a different artist name and a throwaway Hotmail address they can whip up in like 3 minutes and continue. People who do that sort of thing are, typically, not very interested in making anything of their art, or maybe aren't smart enough to understand that your branding or "signature" needs to be consistent to be recognised and, to them, one screen name is as good as another. Now, if you've misspoken and by "user name" you meant one's screen-name - their "artist" name - here at Rendo then it's a matter of semantics and in that case I am for reinstating it. I'd love my artist name to show up in a LOT of searches but as for my real name, no way. If they are looking for my art, then they will search for the name it is published under. Why would they want to find the "real" me - unless they are a bill collector or my ex-wife sent them. :-) Though, I suppose they might want it so that they could write me a fat personal check for a print of one of my images....nah! as if! lol Besides, I have a pretty weird real name - lol. Anyhow, it's not important enough to me for someone to be able to find me by my real name for it to be an avenue for harm to even one person, let alone the many that have had that kind of trouble here....
