I've been posting in one community a lot, but I made my own. I may start just posting in it more often. I'm just curious about people being able to select the same name. It can lead to confusion and trolling. I know the hive-123456 tags are all different, but it would be cool to get something like HIVE-notanumber

I like that idea. You should make a post in the Community Feedback group.
Thanks for the feedback. Maybe I will do this when I write my opinion on communities which is coming soon.
There will always be hive-number but the ultimate goal will have a name resolution api that will allow you to do /communityname/ instead of /hive-xxxxxx/.
The problem is this will require a name resolution service and make it so you can squat names. Currently no one can squat a name as communities are all just IDs.
I'm sure front-ends could make an alliance and use a central database.
Or better yet, Steem could have an auction that will require the escrowing Steem over the auction period and then charging a similar amount each time to keep the name for additional periods (or new auction). Maybe even have a costly buy box after the first week to prevent trolls.
