Anonymity vs Privacy on the Net54baseball

[Rickyy]

I see both sides to the argument as well..but posts that veer into nasty comments and personal attacks and those posts that appear suddenly with controversial statements need to be dealt with a swift hand. Your rules are your rules and this is your site...I'm fine with banning, deleting or editing posts as deemed justifiable based on the mods discretion and rules that are clearly set forth...if you don't like that...leave or start your own site with your own rules...my two yen.

What if using your real name was banned -- wouldn't there be fewer personal attacks? Also, if you were personally attacked, wouldn't you take it less seriously if the attacker didn't even know your name?

One of the turning points for me to exclude my last name was one time I googled my name and one of the first things that came up was a thread I started (or replied to, can't remember) here on Net54.

I also agree if you are going to disrespect people, accuse people, etc. then you should expect your full name to be exposed.

One of my old high school friends found me on Net54 - and that was even WITHOUT me using my real name. Just enough people calling me Paul on here was actually enough.

You can put your name in a way that it prevents your real name showing up on google but everyone knows who you are. Bob Jones can be put there as B@bJones or BobJ.ones, for examples. It's not just for style point that I post my name as one word above. Though it is quite stylish, just like me.
