🔷 What is SA Handle?
Your SA Handle is your permanent, site-wide identity on SugarAsian.org
It is chosen when you register and used to:
Log in to your account
Be mentioned by other users (e.g., @mySAhandle888)
Show up in search, internal moderation tools, and etc.
🔑 Technically, your SA Handle is also called a "username" during login — but we standardize it as "SA Handle" to clearly distinguish it from your Nickname.
🟣 What is Nickname?
A Nickname is your optional public display name.
Example:
SA Handle = YourSAhandle888
Nickname = SweetBarbie 🍑
→ Others will see “SweetBarbie 🍑” on your posts, but still mention you as @YourSAhandle888.
