Namefag
From Bibliotheca Anonoma
Definition[edit]
A Namefag is an imageboard user who posts with a custom name in the name field, distinguishing themselves from the default anonymous posters. The suffix "‑fag" is a common slang postfix on 4chan and related boards.
Usage[edit]
- Often used pejoratively when a named user is perceived as attention‑seeking.
- Can be neutral in contexts where persistent identity is helpful (e.g., project coordination threads).
