Why Don't Members Put Their Name in Their Profile?

The question of why members don't put their name in their WA profile comes up pretty often.

I think I might know the answer!

When someone make the wise decision to join WA, they get a couple welcome messages. One is from the member who referred them and the other is from Kyle or Carson.

Those message refer to the member by their first name. They can do that because it is build into the automated messages that the system sends out.

It is probably only natural that when the new member goes to write their profile, they think everyone can see their name. So, they don't think about including it.

After we have been here a while, we know that isn't true. If we want to be polite and refer to the member by name, we have to search through old messages on their profile page looking for it.

So, please go to you profile page and tell us your first name or what you would like to be called. It only takes a minute and makes it easier for everyone.

Thank you,

Tom
