As many of you may know, Stormtrack has always had a policy of requiring the use of real names. Since this is one aspect of our board that is unique from the rest of the Internet community, I thought it would be good to revisit this policy from time to time and see what you all think.
The positive aspect of a real name policy is that it gives us a certain level of professionalism and mutual recognition within the hobby. The downside is the privacy aspect, whether we're talking employers, stalkers, data mining companies, and so forth. I'm sure it has put a few members here in a real dilemma.
So tell us your opinions on this issue and vote in the attached poll. The poll is NOT an official referendum and is meant only to gauge the sentiment among our users.
