Handle id #9897 : dmd
The full handle was Diamond Design but he changed to dmd in 2014. Perfectly OK, but it's not OK to rename the entry. Old handle entry created, I'm trying to restore older productions under the old handle now.
Edit: I've set the separation line at 30 November 2013, when he joined ATL, of course first hand information would be better. |

the original intend and the consequences are quite correct - when someone changes his handle the old one should NOT get renamed. |

@dmd: sorry but YOU are the one not having a clue how this database should be handled.
@theryk: There was already aka field and handleshort but he changed his entry deleting them, all is logged, and today he went forward deleting other fields.
I suggest mods to restore order and lock the entry for good.
I'm done fucking around with other's fault at doing things right. |

ATL = Atlantis and Atlantis = ATL. 1 entry.
FLT = Fairlight and Fairlight = FLT. 1 entry.
GP = Genesis Project and Genesis Project = GP. 1 entry.
dmd = Diamond Design and Diamond Design = dmd. 2 entries.
Makes perfect sense. And thanks a lot for locking my information. It shows what kind of person you are. |

what Dr.Strange said :)
topic was ok till post 2 or 3, then escalated quickly. I hope the best solution can be found soon. Compared to global warming, isis attacks, Kim Jong-un's bombs, etc is a rather small problem, so no need for blood ok? |

Alternate spellings of handles should only be used if they are actually alternate spellings, like me using "cpx" to sign logos as a short form of "Compyx".
One could argue 'dmd' is a short form of 'Diamond Design', but that doesn't seem be the case.
Pro tip: don't change your handle, I've lived with mine since I came up with it as a 14-year old lamer :) |

Compyx is a cool handle. Figure my kids are laughing at me since the day I revealed them what's daddy's secret identity :)
indeed, it's too late to change the nick now. I chose "The Smasher" in very early 80s while playing with a vic20 or a videopac. "Ze" was added much later, copied from GP's best cracker: there's an intro around where you can read "cracked by ze goblin". It's simply short for "the", so stop asking if I'm a brasilian soccer player! :) |

My handle is simply 'comp' of computer and 'YX' added because in the 80's handles with X,Y and/or Z where cool.
Still helps with registering on websites, Compyx is never taken as a username, and if it is, I forgot I already registered :) |

If dmd is short for Diamond Design, there should be one entry: Diamond Design, with the shortform dmd. I don't see the problem here. |
