Usually, i follow Hanlon’s razor for whenever people make silly suggestions like that…
For Tulln, i make an exception with him, given the fact he has proven that it’s not the case of stupidity a lot of the time when he suggests things like that, given his past behavior. (and alts)
In my personal opinion, anybody who suggests having real names, or any of the actual private information be public, should be an immediate red flag for that person. (not report “flag” mind you.)
I don’t want anyone seeing my real name. The reason I post on here and not facebook is because here, the media doesn’t try to twist everything you say. If they convert the forums to realID, I’d want the opportunity to delete all my characters and posts.
Here, I am a cute little innocent gnome (with a teeny bit of an evil streak!)
If we go by the Blizzard standard? Kinda depends, apparently ‘raiders’ in general are to be believed over everyone else, and promoted/hired on to the dev team despite never having any experience working on games.
This is very anti-queer. As a queer indentifying person myself, sometimes I identify with different characters, so I switch. Can Blizzard please stop this clear anti-LGBT(Q) hate speech? I am shaking right now this is literally violence.
It seems like someone putting in that amount of effort into researching which forum avatars may (or may not) belong to the same players issues might be at increased risk of having… issues. Someone like that should probably look for healthier pursuits with which to fritter away their free time.
