Handles and Names on Scooploop
On sign-up, a new user is asked to enter their name, and also to select a 'handle' (shown as @handle), a personal ID which is unique to them.
A user may change their display name if they wish; however, they cannot change their handle. The handle is the name that absolutely and uniquely identifies a user through their time on Scooploop and ensures that, whatever the display name, other users will always be able to identify the user.
