I noticed this a while ago but never thought about bringing it up until now.
Although I've never published a hold myself, it appears that although the hold is linked to your forum account, you can put anything against the Author's Name (I assume this maps to the Architect's Name on the hold download page). I just think it would make more since if the forum name was used in all cases. One tangible benefit is that on the hold download page you could sort by architect and get a true list of each person's holds (I realise you can do this on an individual basis on the forum now as well) rather than being dependent on the architect having used the same name for all their submissions - a good example of this is Brainiac1999 who has published 4 holds under different names and therefore they wouldn't be grouped together when sorting by architect.
Anyway, not a major thing, just something I think might be useful
It would be nice if there were some standardization used, I agree. When I did last year's awards I had to hunt down the different names users used (e.g. mxvladi = Slava) in order to credit them appropriately for recognition. I think it's pretty deeply ingrained in the system now, though.
