Suggestion: Change the default forum user name to something other than full email address

Could Logos change the default display name (when users don't enter a display name) to be just the "userid" portion of the email address (the part before the @ sign)?

That way there won't be so many users posting their email addresses on the internet by accident or getting frustrated because changing the forum display name is not intuitive.

    That would really help many new users. The other option would be to make the Name field compulsory, not allow user to finish his registration without filling the field with a name.
