It would be nice if people said why the voted a certain way.
I changed my forum name years ago, precisely because I was fed up with people talking outrageous rubbish and hiding behind a nickname. To be fair It was not on this forum.

NO leave it alone, if you start trying to police who says what and who says this and that before to long (as already posted on here) nobody apart from the usual people will post which would be very boring. If you don't like whats written read it once and move on. There is a post on here from somebody called redflagmartyrs who is posting about a charity collection being held for Grenfell Tower. This post would not appear if the user had to register his/her details as you seem to be asking. Have a look at Weymouth's forum especially after a defeat it's really funny all their anonymous fans go mad. Basically the people on here requesting non anonymity need to get over themselves.

What's to stop anyone registering with false name and a different email address, can this be done ?

I certainly do not think that, as suggested in Rob's thread, that email addresses should be visible. I much prefer leaving things as they are - I have a vested interest because a) I use a nickname and b) having been updating the prediction league which links predictions to usernames, if they change midway through the season it could lead to mismatching.

Good point about the prediction league - not that I’m doing very well in it! This isn’t about changing usernames though, or showing email addresses - simply about adding a signature with your ‘real name’ to your posts. |

It really is up to the individual registering on the site. Give the option to either have your name in public view or it being witheld. Personaly I don't mind either way and sometimes its fun trying to identify who is behind which user name!

50/50 split on this (looking at the result so far), it's almost a bit like Br***t and look how well that is going at the moment. If anything tells us to leave it alone it should be that!!  Slightly more seriously I think that if you remove the anonimity then you'll lose some posters (not me I don't post anything too controversial) and I think that people should have the right to say whatever they like as long as it isn't defamatory or unnecessarily rude about other posters. We all have the right to disagree, some people don't like confrontation so wouldn't necessarily say those things that might sometimes need to be said that they otherwise would. |

How long is this poll going to be open for?
As I said in a previous post it I can't recognise you from either your forum name & you have no photo then I take your posts less seriously than those who are easily identifiable.

Yes - when everyone signed up they would have had to agree to this? Fair enough. Anyone remember agreeing to anything when they signed up ? Could we have a 'screen shot' of what we signed ? I’m sure you could if you felt you needed to. You’d just need to contact Proboards I imagine? |

This bit is particularly interesting: 10. FORUM CONTROL; MEMBER DISPUTES ProBoards does not control the forums made available by means of the Website and Services. Forum administrators and moderators reserve the right, in their sole discretion, to delete or modify forum posts, revoke membership to the forum, block access to the forum, modify Your account profile, or modify any User Content (as defined in Section 15 below) on the forum. You should contact the forum administrator directly with any complaint, grievance or problem. ProBoards reserves the right, but disclaims any perceived, implied or actual duty, to monitor disputes between Website members. You agree to hold ProBoards harmless in connection with any dispute or claim You make against any other member. Particularly interesting |

WelshDolphin said that if you "remove the anonymity then you'll lose some posters". Some people just don't like publicity.
Choirboy Dave asked, "How long is this poll going to be open for?" I'd like to know that as well because then we can all start squabbling about the result.
Just joking! There's been some fair points made on both sides and I have no hard and fast view either way.

To all those who have voted to stay anonymous,can the explain why? What have you got to hide,? Why do you want to out people? Forums are to put your point across some feel it easier to do this under the protection on a forum made up name,as long as they are not abusive in anyway whats the problem,and if they are abusive delete the post and ban them,simple really. You can put your name up but i dont know who you are so whats the difference. It does seem 3 or 4 people have taken offence to others posts and a couple find it ok to be quite rude about people but say thats fine as i use my own mame. Some of the "moaners" on here actually make the point others are thinking but dont dare say it.. Leave it as it is,if you want a nicey nice forum set up a new one with own name only users, it will be quite boring though id imagine |

Choirboy Dave has told us twice that he will not take posts seriously if he does not recognise the sender or their is no photo. If we start moderating we will end up with sterile debates about the length of the grass or whether the sky is blue or not. Fair enough take action if anybody is abusive or outwardly rude, but apart from that I think that things are probably best left as they are.

I'm intending to leave the poll running indefinitely - to see if the results swing either way at a later stage. You can change your personal vote at any time - clicking on the option you voted on previously will remove the vote.
I think its an interesting debate [ that was already going from Rob's thread ) and at the moment the voting is pretty even so keeping the same as we are seems to be the right option. Those of us who are happy to be identified can remain so - those under a cloak of secrecy can also remain.
Looking around - ours is one of the 'most posted on' forums among those with similar match day attendance, and we certainly want that to remain.
