@rjl20 What is your policy for humans ID'd by a fifth-symbol containing word?

@rjl20 (A fifth symbol is the first symbol in my first IDing word, and is part of the ID word that I would use to log on with, for why I ask. My transmissions would obviously omit fifth symbols.)

@bhtooefr @rjl20 in a pinch, you could always go l33t

@phooky @rjl20 That's not OK under oulipo's policy though, and is ban-worthy in posts: oulipo.social/about/more

@bhtooefr @rjl20 you'll think of an alias, if you must. how about "acid burn"?

@phooky @bhtooefr Sorry about not noticing this until now! But phooky is mostly right: you'll want an alias which omits that fifth symbol, for both your login and your display 'nym. I'm not so strict about l33t, but avoiding it is optimal.
