I belong to a forum where all are required to register and use their real first and last names in every post. Everybody there does.

One result: The posts are quite civil and courteous. Some disagree quite strongly, but not viciously or discourteously.

No, there are no plans here for requiring real names that I know of. I am just curious.

How do you feel about using real names on a forum?



Against it. You should require an actual working e-mail address even if those are easy to get through AOL, Hotmail, Yahoo, etc.

You as Administrators can remove posts you feel are libelous towards other posters or in some other way cross the lines of decency and online etiquette.
