That is one positive step that should cut down on the racist posts and personal name calling.
I would go one further - print the real names of the posters and not just the screen names.
Thank you, Administrator!

I do not believe it would change a thing nor am I in favor of providing this forum with real names.
I do not support the printing of real names because (1) people deserve their privacy (2) some members even with usernames feel intimidated to post (3) brazen members would be at your door steps (4) some members would hold back their real thoughts (5) some of us focus on content of other posters comments, not the poster, and respond to those comments (ie its pure dialogue) (6) if one so desire s/he can meet other posters every third Friday at Crisper.
The Political Forum was closed before because remarks and behavior had gotten out of hand. Many members of that forum knew each other personally and/or by username. It got ugly it got personal and nasty on line ,and with PM's so TOTV Admin shut it down and rightly so.
I prefer username, I prefer PM's and I prefer the ability to edit but its not available with Political Talk. I will accept all of those precautions to protect members and to keep Political Talk viable. I assure you if OP's suggested and sincere request is acted upon in the affirmative political Talk won't last a month
