Hmmm this seems annoying for you! Really good example of the value of user flairs

So long as this is a public community it feels like a perennial problem. Though private communities aren’t here yet, it seems you and the mods here want this to be a relatively public community. So community specific user flairs seem like the only workable solution (where there could be a default “use handle” flair or something or a requirement for first time posters to select a flair).

Don’t know if there’s an issue for it or others pushing for it, but this situation seems like an idea case for its value.

Ah right. Makes sense. Sorry for jumping in then if that was annoying/repetitive.
