I don’t believe so. There’s a fairly long tradition of allowing any 
recognizable name - look at the series of CFJs on alternate ways of referring 
to omd, for example.

However, the only recognizable name you have right now is 天火狐, since that’s the 
only one you’ve ever used. If you object to someone who has the temerity to 
call you “Josh” or “draconicdarkness”, I suspect it won’t happen a second time. 
The right to choose one’s own name is fairly well recognized here.

Thank you for your pledge/ I don't think it's something quite bothersome
enough to make a proposal about, but I would like to express to all
individuals that I would prefer to be referred to by my nickname.

Random question: Is there a way to formalize the fact that I do not want my
name (as opposed to y nickname) to be an acceptable way to refer to me?
