Just had this thought due to some debate on banning anonymous posting in forum. Are you comfortable in disclosing your identity on forums? What are the pros and cons if we stop anonymous posting in forums?

You will have to post in with your original name and your identity will be verified by a forum member before allowing you to post.

(We will always allow anonymity at Debtcc forums)

It wouldn't matter to me. I have no enemies, and even if I did post my full name (Shawn Michael Thompson), who would know exactly where I live? Try to Google your name...

I can not have my "true name" out there becuase of my work. There are other people who have posted that they were in the same position. They have actually posted that they could loose their jobs over their financial difficulties. One person who worked in an accounting firm did, over her pdl issues. As JCEMT said about google-ing your name..that could really hurt some of the members and has the potential to keep others from getting the help they need.

I also do not want for various reasons my true name out there.

I agree... there are to many crazy people out there and you never know when you might inadvertantly offend someone.

I agree with everyone else I don't want my personal information out there..is there possibly another way to go about this?

Posted: Mon Mar 17, 2008 8:01 am

I am uncomfortable with it because I do use my real name at work. While I don't feel anyone will hunt me down I would rather not take the chance.

I have no problems with the forum administrators knowing my full name. However I do have a problem with having my full name displayed for all to see. I've been stalked before online and in real life and its not fun.

I would feel uncomortable discussing personal matters if my name were public. I would not want people I know to stumble upon my payday loan mess or what have you. What about other forums like medical! They would dry up! Besides I am in the witness protection program! LOL. Just kidding! I left it a year ago. Kidding again!

I dont feel comfy putting my real name on here.....You never though these days......

If posting under actual names became a requirement, I'd be gone. I've grown to love this place, and I consider some of you as 'really-extended family'. But I have valid reasons, both personal and professional, to keep my private life private.

I deal with sensitive data on behalf of my clients. As an IT consultant, I have their businesses literally in the palm of my hand. While my financial woes are older than dirt and all but insignificant compared to many I read here, would you want me hacking on your servers, knowing I was an active member of a site like this? Think about it....

I totally agree. I would never have posted any of my problems here and because of that I would not have gotten where I am today. I hope that makes sense Wink

Makes perfect sense to me.
