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.
Pros: It gives us a certain level of professionalism and mutual recognition within the hobby.
Cons: Privacy issues, whether we're talking employers, stalkers, data mining, etc.
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 to help us set policy.
NOTE: In the option "No restrictions on names/nicknames/handles", this does not mean that users can select offensive or profane handles, but rather that they don't have to abide by any specific requirements and can name their own username.
