Version 0.81.0

The public code on a question is the sender's own, checked by the server.

A question carries your public code so that everything you have asked can be read together, printed beside it under the heading 「보낸 분」. Until now it was whatever the sending browser wrote there, checked only for length — and a public code is meant to be handed out, so anyone could file questions under another person's code and we would read them as that person's. The code now comes from what the account itself published, a request naming a different one is refused, and an account that has not published its public code yet simply carries none: better to show nothing than a name nobody checked. One person with several accounts still looks like several people; this stops using somebody else's name, not having more than one of your own.

Writing back on a question you asked without an account puts it in front of us again.

Once we answer, a question leaves the queue of things waiting on us, and writing back put it there again — unless you had asked without an account, in which case the reply sat where nobody looks. That queue is also what two legal deadline devices read: the ones that send the extension notice and the missed-deadline notice for a demand for an explanation or for human review of an automated decision. Somebody exercising that right is the person likeliest to have no account, which is why questions sent that way are already kept for ninety days rather than thirty. Both roads now behave the same, and the deadline itself is still counted from when the question arrived, so writing back does not restart it.
