anonymity is the hiding place of cowards and cyber- bullies we can all come up with a reason to not be named but I've yet to hear one that holds water

Agree with every word of that.

But you're a nice guy and have no reason to hide who you really are. Why not come out into the open. Go on, you know you want to!!

steve barnett: the way i see it is before you had the option. you could post under a real name or a fake one. then members could decide which users they listened to more.

before you had
1. real users with real names posting real info (those who are open and don't mind)
2. real users with fake names posting real info (those who want to post honest advice but don't want to get caught)
3. fake users with fake names posting fake info (those who are out to slag off at any opportunity)

now you have
1. real users with real names posting real info
2. fake users with fake names posting fake info

and the the reason you've got rid of second one is to stop fake posting, but this will continue any way because nothing will stop someone signing up with a fake name and company

this forum is getting more closed off to stop the rubbish, but instead risks losing some of the good whilst the rubbish can still continue.

say i did work for you steve every couple months you'd send a big job my way but were such a horrible person about it and would be a rubbish payer/lier etc but it was worth it just about as the money was eventually coming and it was some money in an empty week. if someone comes on here and asks what it's like to work with steve from carpet care plus, if i was to then post although money is good he's an arse hole, hate the guy, get ready to deal with an ignorant ****, you'd see that and most likely stop working with me. so i'd not post that advice, which means the person who asked the question wouldn't get the honest advice they want, you'd never see it and think crickey didn't realise one of the hundred companies i work with thinks that about me maybe i should have a look at myself and do something to fix it etc.

of course all that is just made up i've never worked with you before but you get the point.

[Adam P]

To answer your question, you could simply contact the person requesting this information privately, rather than posting it on a forum - but thanks for taking the opportunity to use my name in your example 

[Carpet Dawg]

Another idea.

How about getting members to add thier real name in the signiture bar or in the profile??

[Adam P]

just so you know carpet dawg, they are giving 2 day bans if you don't have your real name. you'd think they'd tell you first but nope straight to a 2 day ban so may want to get on and change it.
