No-one seems to have mentioned that I, for example, could easily sign any comment [[User:Optim|Optim]] and then it would take a page history and diff to prove that I had tried to assign a comment/vote to Optim. Obviously this would be madness. The solution is a "legal" one rather than technical and is pretty simple:

Rule:

• Don't pretend to be another user.

Guideline:

• Don't change your signature too often. It makes it difficult for other

users to remember who they've built up a feeling of trust with. (example: If Uncle Ed ever becomes Father Ed, I for one would come over all confused :-)

Now that's sensible.

There are a couple of users who enjoy changing their nick regularly - I see that as just playfulness. It's sometimes a little confusing but, as mav says, it only takes a move of the mouse to see their user name.
