Questions from a new user about names, anonymity, and viewing posts.
I would like to point out that I am asking these questions as a Patron, not as a Creator.
First of all, is there any way to not use my real name? I tried looking it up, and I saw some information about a "Display Name", but it seemed to just be geared towards creators, not Patrons. I know there is a "My Pledges are Publicy Visiable" option I can disable, but is there no other privacy/anonymity settings beyond that? I don't want my real name shown if I leave a comment or anything else. Right now I just entered my display name in place of my real name, but would that work once I want to pay one of the creators, or does it use that name to process your credit card payment and thus it would fail?
Second, is there any way to search through a creator's posts? I know you can search creators themselves, but many creators have had hundreds of posts over the years, and unless the creator themselves has been extensively tagging them, the only method to go through them appears to just be to click "load more" for hours and hope you find what you are looking for. Is there any way to search the posts themselves?
And finally, in relation to the above, is there any easy way to see all the non-public posts you will have access to at your tier once you start paying the creator? Or, again, do you just have to manually go through years of posting history one by one?
