Social Sites options - user names poll. Real Name or Anonymous?

News sites moving to Facebook ID's for commenting ...

Another bad idea.

I'm an old fart who has no interest in "social media". So I would just be watching the parade from the curb.

Hi Everyone...

I believe the posters real name should be used all the time for all circumstances...no exceptions

I voted for real names, but the more I think about it, the more I don't think it really matters. I doesn't usually take long for people to figure out the real name of the troublemakers on here. People think they're so slick posting under a fake name, but most of them say at least one thing that will tip off who they are. This has been proven time and time again.

Yes, there was one pot stirring poster with 2 ID's that gave his self away just a couple of weeks ago!!! LOL

Real Names. Nothing to hide. Shoot--my original and only screen name is made up with my initials. When people know who you are, it's amazing how much nicer you become. It's too easy to hide behind a fake screen name & blast at others.
It's simple...be known and be nice.

Why exactly is it assumed by the forum that if you are anonymous that you are a trouble maker or have ignorant views?

I think it should be a choice, but also limit it to 1 account per user if you can somehow.

By IP# or whatever.

They shouldn't be allowed to stir up a bunch of ???? and then just change names.

It's also pretty funny when a new account pops up and their 1st post is something negative about this tournament director or that organization.

I would imagine the moderators here and on most forums can tell stories about different user names with the same IP#s agreeing with each other.
