New, unique Community Center usernames

[Airbnb]

We’re updating each Community Center member’s username so it’s unique and easily searchable. Now you’ll be able to make sure you’re mentioning the right @Annie or @Guillermo in your posts and replies.

Here’s how it will work: We will automatically add numbers to the end of your existing username to make it unique. To keep it simple, you won’t be able to further customize your username, but this change should help you find hosts and be found by them in the online Community.

We’re excited about this change and are happy to answer any questions you might have about it. Just reach out to your Online Community Managers here in the Community Center, @Lizzie, @Stephanie or @Quincy.

I agree with the idea of picking up your own number so it's easily remembered 👍😊👍

[Suze2]

Yes, picking our own numbers is much easier. The info is locked into our brains effortlessly. For many people, who may be unable to pick their own numbers - this can create frustration and challenges. Users could potentially become not motivated to use this service.

I also agree that you should choose your owne number, so you can remember it.

[Sarah977]

@Anna1952  Why do you think it's necessary to remember it? It has nothing to do with your actual Airbnb hosting or travelling account, it's just a way for users to be able to tag each other on this forum.

Agreed

What does Level 10 mean after your name?

@Ally12 It means you do a lot of talking and typing here in the community center.

@Diego541 , 

thanks for the heads up.

I've investigated into this and found out, that airbnb will be assigning numbers to their departements. Here's the preliminary list that I've got:

@ airbnb1 …..... the guest is always right - departement

@ airbnb2 …..... unjustified refund - dept.

@ airbnb3 …..... we don't delete retaliatory reviews - dept.

@ airbnb4 …... the houserules don't matter – dept.

They're working on more numbers. I'll let You know as soon as I know.
