I understand everyone's concern about "taking responsibility" for comments, but I have serious concerns with the requiring members to disclose their names for the following reasons:
(1) Many collectors with high-end collections (I wish that included me) and even low-end collections do not want to post their personal information on the board which could be viewed by potential theives, and
(2) I have read that identity thieves mine personal data from forums to build a profile for identity theft.
You may disagree with this but these fears do exist and such a rule would deter a significant amount of people from participating on the board (including me).
