Please don't give your users a nickname like "tanglers", groups come up with their own nicknames. It's not as infuriating as when New Relic started calling everyone "Data Nerd", which is actually offensive to me and weirdly aggressive for a corporate product.

What prompted this? I can't see "tanglers" in the OP. Did you see them calling their users "tanglers" somewhere? Honest question.


It's on the homepage under "Recent updates".
