Discord-Profile-Nickname-Communication

Basically it is hard to find WA users on discord and same the other way.
A lot of people have one nickname on WA and completely different on Discord. WA doesn't allow direct communication (Other than guestbooks)
Which makes it hard to communicate between users, who want to get in touch.
For example, I posted a world update few days ago, proposing to create Writer's Chapter. Few people are interested, but we are struggling to find each other on discord, to talk about it and decide how we wanna do it.
So my proposal is, to display the nicknames of user's World Anvil Profiles, on their Discord profiles and to display their Discord nicknames, on their WA Profiles.
I think this would allow us to interact a little bit better with each others.

Follow up

Michael Chandra - What I am talking about, is the fact, that if we want to connect with somebody who we found on World Anvil, we have to use Guestbook to do that. And that is not as convenient as direct communication, trough discord, or maybe trough private messages on WA.
AuraGuard - I think it's way easier to communicate on Discord, so it's not an issue to ask somebody there, because we have direct messages there. I think showing the name of your discord, on your WA profile, would be enough.

We already have a system for this on the Discord's end, and it's been working wonders for the past 4 years. Discord etiquette is to include your world name in your Discord name, by which you can be found. I wouldn't mind Dimitris expanding the profile options to include Discord username, however, so I will give this some points in consideration of that alone.

While it's possible to customize WA and Discord profiles to include this information, having something that auto-updates would be extremely convenient for people like me who have memory issues (therefor may think a thing was done but it wasn't) or who have trouble navigating. Don't think WA has the ability to update Discord profiles, though. That's something that would require a degree of authority over Discord that WA doesn't have. Auto-showing Discord handles on WA profiles is the only part of this that can be executed, at least without requiring illegal hacking.

Anyone can customize their WA Profile and Discord Server Profile to include this information if they want to.
