Use your Real Name Poll,

Friends . All this pseudonym usage is nuts. I can't imagine a situation where I'd be afraid to not stand by my words ? Thus I consider pseudonym usage by others to be either cowardice or stirring. So I suggest all of us who use our Real names do not reply to the pseudonym users ! Regardz Colin Davies

We have a few options here: 1) Continue as we are - this means that anyone can post under anyone elses name, or send slurs against another using whatever pseudonym they want. 2) I only allow registered users who have logged on to post comments 3) If someone tries to post a comment under the name of a registered user, then that person must be logged on under that persons name before they can post. Posting under a name not registered will still be allowed 4) Continue as we are, but all posts made by a person who isn't logged on when they post will be visibly marked as such. Thoughts? cheers, Chris Maunder

Not to suggest a hell of a lot of work, but if two 'lounges' were available, one for authorized postings only and a second one for anonymous postings, I think that over time we would find out which one has the most activity and could let the other one go the way of the Wankel.

Here's my $.02. We have to allow Anonymous postings, but that doesn't mean you have to type in a name, why not just have an "anonymous" checkbox. It's too easy to register under a fake name to police things properly, unless you manually verify every registrant (eek). You could do the mailback think I guess, but that just means setting up a free email account somewhere. Could I register Chris. Maunder, or Chris Maunders, or Chris M, or Mr. Maunder. Sure I could, and I hate to say it but 50% of people reading the post wouldn't realise it wasn't you :( Most readers won't be initimate enough with the system to recognize subtle differences in the posters name. It's unfortunate, as I personally don't want there to be a big barrier to becoming a poster on CP, but we certainly can't let the whole thing digress into a mess either.
