Wearing a ring is not particularly practical. Nobody I know uses rings for tribal signaling. Doing so would be weird. Toastmasters goes for a pin. I have never worn my toastmasters pin but I think it would be better than a ring if you want to have something along those lines for LW.
Why do you say a ring is not practical?
A pin wouldn't be my first choice, but if it looks "sober" enough, I could go for it. Although I don't know if I could make the habit of taking the time to pin it.
I don't think that rings are good for blood flow in the finger. Espeically one's big enough to display a logo.
Most women I know wear at least one ring, often more. Their fingers haven't fallen off and don't look to be blood-starved. Most married men wear a ring. Their fingers look fine, too.
Whatever happened to looking for evidence?
Evidence should be relevant to the claim. The claim was "[not] good for blood flow in the finger". The original claim before that was that "[w]earing a ring is not particularly practical". None of these two claims seem to be anywhere close to to reality.

That's a strawman. I didn't claim that it makes finger fall off.
So what is it exactly that you are claiming?
Likely smaller range of effective movement. Woman wears a lot of rings just as they wear high heels that are also not ergonomic.
Seeking around I find studies that show that rings are very unhygenic for hospital stuff but not much investigation beyond that.
Umm... no.
Just like with the "blood flow", I think you're imagining things.
Rings are certainly inconvenient when you're doing some things with your hands, but it's not because they restrict the range of finger movement.
I just have this urge to say this, and I think I'll go ahead: that's what she said

I have worn 3 rings in my life. The first one broke; it was made of coconut. The second one, I lost it. The third one was uncomfortable.
None of those prejudiced my blood flow. Now, I'm obviously not saying that no ring will do this, but that we would only need to pick a proper one. The second ring I mentioned was roughly 5mm wide, which is enough space to write LessWrong on it.

I'm willing to tolerate some repetition of comments, but this is what I'd call overdoing it. (I'm speaking as a commenter, not the moderator.)
Please assume that LW readers can remember what you said if you've already said it more than once on the same page. Every comment takes up a little attention, and it should give something back in exchange-- new information, fun, something.
Yup, I was mistaken. Acknowledged it here and will avoid this in the future.
