I understand the points some have made regarding privacy. The rental situation is only an issue if/when people are accused of being a 'chaser' when renting a vehicle that they have never had issues with. How do they verify the name with an actual person anyway...there are often tens, hundreds, even thousands with the same name as many here. How do they know that the Jason Foster at the counter is Jason Foster the storm chaser and not Jason Foster the singer.
Now on a case by case basis, if a person is known to be an issue with the car rental agencies, for claims made, etc. then that is on them. ST should not be the one to accommodate that person. Same thing when folks are worried about lying to employers or family that they are taking a 'sick day' and then chasing, it is not up to ST to cover your tracks. If you want privacy, then don't post a report or any other details of your wrong doing...or here is a novel idea....don't lie, don't disobey policy, honor your family wishes, and post freely on ST using your real name. Most here do!
