We need you

Is this breaking the rules? Asking members to join another site, one that requires signing a constitution, sharing risks and costs. 
Define risks.  
It doesn't sound a very healthy proposition and sounds like it is breaking the rules of this forum.

You are asking members to put themselves at whatever risks and to use their money to put themselves at risk. 

Wrong on every level, no matter how much do-good your intentions are. 

EDIT:  Correct me if I am wrong. 

EDIT: the post had said risks and costs. I interpreted that to be money, having read posts again, it might not have been money, it could have been other costs.  Therefore I do no know what was meant by 'costs' and it might not have been money.

The Community Rules are here: https://community.autism.org.uk/p/rules.

I think Rule 7 is maybe the one that NAS51498 is referring to.  Currently this thread doesn't appear to be breaking rule 7 but the Moderators will be checking future posts.

Thank you autie aidie.

I have seen people do this in other forums where I work and its fine. Feel free to express yourself how you wish and please feel relaxed about posting here.  Funny thing is I have talked and helped another person who called themselves  Justanothernobody ( in 7cups,com ) and by the end he had chosen a much better name.

U're not a nobody. I believe everyone has value and your contributions are valuable. We need someone to speak up for all the nobodies :) 

Bookworm, I didn’t realise changing avatars/names causes such paranoia. Sorry. I did it for personal reasons I do not have to make public. Nothing to do with trolling. Not even sure why everyone is so hung up on that word either. Trolling is surely an attack and ganging up on one more vulnerable member? Correct me if I am wrong please. 

I change because I am a chameleon by nature and no avatar I have chosen has fitted me for long. I preferred being a number really. None of my avatars fitted on this forum either. But then, neither do I.

i for one have not disguised who I am, nor have I kept two accounts going simultaneously. If that is not good enough, then it’s simply not my problem. 

I do not communicate here with people I know in real life. Nor iare my private life and relationship successes and failures anybody else’s fault or business. Two people don’t always gel long term. Unfortunately that is life. 

And im afraid this is me. I’m simple. My changing avatars were only ever about how I felt about myself here on this forum. I actually just want to be me. 

There should be some stipulation though on how long or how many times you post before you have to chose a username, otherwise this leaves the site wide open to trolling, also take more ID  information than just an e-mail as anybody could create a different e-mail and identity and then troll the site, at least then you know we are all who we say we are, NAS are leaving some really vulnerable people open to exploitation and it's wrong...

I for one know enough to be able to protect myself but I know for a fact there are people on here who are vulnerable, some seem like they really have it together and are very computer savvy, which I am not but in other ways they are incredibly vulnerable and I feel NAS are just not doing enough to protect them.

Thank you for the clarification.
