Real name forums/servers, fixed name accounts at least?

[raptorak 2]

Was wondering if, to lessen the amount of horrible trolling that goes on around here on the forums and in game, there should be a real-name section of the forums and real name servers. It could work, since in my experience at least there is less trolling on Facebook from real accounts.

At least there could be fixed names, so if I am raptorak here, I MUST be that raptorak that shot you in Cherno, and I can't have changed my name to XxXcodSNipez4beAnzXxX anywhere else. Ultimately, it would be great if this could extend to all BIS administered games.

I am aware of the absolute shit-storm such a change could cause, but I don't see why being an ass on the internet should necessarily be completely incognito, and there should also be an option for anonymous servers.

What do you all think? I'm guessing terrible idea?

Hmm... so you're saying you want people to have to have a persistent name through the forum and through each character they'll ever play? Why?

First of all...all actions in game are in game and thus part of the experience...they could be roleplaying for all you know. Second of all the forum is separate from the game and thus the identities should be kept separate unless the player wishes to reveal themselves.

What would the purpose be? Reduce trolling? That sounds like a forum issue that should be addressed by the forum moderators and has nothing to do with the game.
