RE: Utopian Rules Update #7 - Biggest Quality Enforcement Ever
Great updates as usual. I have one question though:
If your account on an external platform does not match the Steem/Utopian account you must either change it or use another field to show you are the author.
My account name on GitHub does not match my Steem/Utopian account name. I would really prefer not to change my GitHub account name because I have been using it for a long time and I can't change my Steem account name, obviously.
How can I use "another field" to show I am the author? Also, since I have connected my GitHub account with Utopian, shouldn't you be able to know that my Steem/Utopian account has access to that GitHub account?
Please let me know how I can handle this, I would like to make sure my contributions are submitted correctly going forward.
On Discord @deathwing said that putting your Steemit/Utopian username in the
README.meof the GitHub repository can serve as proof.Thanks @amosbastian, would like to get confirmation of this from someone at Utopian. This seems like an odd way to go about this since as i mentioned they should already know if you have access to a particular github account if you connect it with their site.
Yes true @yabapmatt. For github specifically this is more a fast patch until we can implement a way to recognise the user on the frontend directly, while fro crowdin is harder since there is no crowdin connect.
That seems like a pain - if I contribute to some random open source project will I have to ask them to add my steemit username to their readme? I can't imagine too many maintainers would be ok with that
