I have no problem submitting my name for registration purposes, but I hope it won't be posted on this board without my permission...regardless of what I say. It seems to me that the poster was in the wrong originally, but why was his full name mentioned? Without looking up his registration information, how could one know who this guy was? He has only posted four times, has never identified himself or even shown cards that could identify him. I hope I won't be outed to the world if I have a bad day and say a couple things that upset people. I mean, I really don't have a problem putting my real name out there, but I didn't think that was a requirement for posting here. In fact, the Net54 "rules" prohibit posting "Personal information about people including but not limited to: Phone numbers, addresses, email addresses, etc, unless given permission." Am I missing something? Please don't PM me either, if you have something to say then say it here publicly. Thanks.

"You may remain anonymous as long your post is not controversial or confrontational. Email addresses and full names are required in these cases."

Fair enough. Here is the full text from the rules though:

"You may remain anonymous as long your post is not controversial or confrontational. Email addresses and full names are required in these cases. Anonymous posts that are controversial or confrontational will probably be deleted."

The way I read it is that the original poster is responsible for posting a name and email address in the case of controversial or confrontational emails. If the original poster fails to identify himself in such a case, a moderator will (probably) delete the post. Clearly that is not what happened. Instead of immediately deleting the post, discussion was allowed to continue, the original poster was outed by Leon, and then people piled on by chiding the OP about his hobby contributions and Napoleon reference. If it was just deleted right off the bat (no pun intended) I would have no problem at all. I'm really not trying to be annoying, it's just that I'm new here and this really kinda bugged me a bit. No offense Leon, from what I've seen so far I think you run a great site.

edit: Leon, we posted at the same time and I just wanted to add that I understand moderating a forum like this one is a daunting task and it's impossible to make everyone happy all the time. Best wishes.

Hi Texas Leaguer
As I said, I am going to redo the rules to be more explicit very soon. Nothing will change except it will be more clear what is going to happen when anyone accuses anyone, or company, of something and/or gets confrontational or just wants to be a jerk. I do understand the rules are not clear enough at this moment. They haven't been redone for years and especially since our new board s/w was implemented. I will spare the original poster the embarrassment of saying all of the things that I was told in emails, about breaking laws, being sued, breaking board rules etc...etc.... suffice it to say that so far most members seem to be OK with not allowing privacy in those cases. And you are absolutely correct in that *I, and the other moderators, will never please everyone. That would be impossible. best regards

Maybe he can put his head together with the Bruces and file a class action

Well, unfortunately you might have come to the wrong chat board then. As Tim just pointed out, if you say something controversial, accusatory, confrontational etc.....You will be expected to put your name in the public. Now, if you just want to talk cards, then no, your name won't be made public. For the record the rules will be redone soon to be more explicit. Rest assured, nothing will change otherwise. So, if you don't want your name out here...just stick to cards and such or don't post those types of things that will mandate your name being known. Now, you might say, well, why is that? It is because we have been over this about a thousand times in the last 10 yrs (or at least it seems so) and have always come to the same conclusion. Hypothetically, if your name didn't have to be known then what is to say this couldn't be a person working for a competitor of Legendary's saying those things? Knowing that your name will be associated with what you say helps keep the board "real" so to speak. Through many years of being on the board, then moderating, I can safely say there is absolutely 0 doubt in my mind that this is the manner these things should be handled. As such, this board isn't the place to go after someone and stay anonymous. Also, conversely, anyone would want to know who is saying something about them. I know I would. Same rules for everyone. best regards

edited to add....btw, Anthony, love it!!! Thanks for giving me all of that hair too
