Mailinglist mode: can the 'sender' be the username and not the 'full name' please?

Currently in mailing list mode when e.g. @Plexus posts it shows up as
‘Simon Newton via Qubes OS Forum’ and respectively when I post it shows
as ‘Sven Semmler via Qubes OS Forum’

Since 21 hours we have a new member of the forum @bxvrecaji6 who has
humorously chosen ‘me’ as their full name. So every time this new user
posts it shows up as ‘me via Qubes OS Forum’.

Instead of asking that user to change their ‘full name’ or telling
mailing list mode users to live with it, can we just make it so the
username is used?

So it would be:

‘Plexus via Qubes OS Forum’
‘Sven via Qubes OS Forum’
‘bxvrecaji6 via Qubes OS Forum’

interesting point. I kinda like the humor of @bxvrecaji6 but do agree we should be relating to usernames. @deeplow

Disabling the following setting seems to solve that. If folks prefer it, I can try disabling it.

full name

Having usernames there could also help mailinglist users know more easily how to @mention a particular user.

Yes!

Just disabled it. Let me know if it solved the issue and let’s see how others react.
