This might not be necessary…yet…but I have another suggestion which could always be implemented later if necessary. One way to cut down on a lot of e-thugging, mindless drama, and generally counter-productive behavior would be to require members to put their full legal names in their profile, and/or make that their username. When people are anonymous they do all sorts of crap they wouldn’t normally do. It makes people more accountable for their statements.
This isn’t an AA meeting and people say they want to meet other car enthusiasts in the area…so why not use real names? This has worked great on other boards…
Yeah I saw that law to. It made me lol all-over that place. I have no problem with posting first names, and first initial of last name. Beyond that it’s kinda iffy to me. But that would definatly cut down on e-thugging. But what would prevent someone from using a false/someone elses name?
It’s an online forum. Who’s to say anything you post is real? I have 2 kids from the neighborhood locked in my basement. Come find them. Here’s some help: my user name is the same as my NYS license plate. Don’t believe that? Ok, fine, I merely have a modified exhaust and I speed alllllll the time.
Which of the above statements are true? Who can tell? Do you see me worrying?
Those kids are getting restless, I have to go give them more sedatives. I’ll check here for replies in a little bit.
My full name is already on all the autocross results that are available online, so I don’t care either way. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to find the only Fiero that shows up at every event.
i think the first name and last initial would do. but putting your full name is just asking for problems imo. a lot of guys have a lot of cash invested in their cars, and being able to tie an address to that would probably help out thieving fucks. im sure theres a few on here.
:word: Agreed. If that was requried it would cause many more problems than it would fix. Plus there would be alot of people that would just not wanna be here anymore because no one wants that.
what the fucking fuck is going on here? what is with all the bitching about the site lately. it was fine. why is there this new string of “things have to cahnge”
i still can’t believe beck is banned. or anyone for that matter… well… maybe that soloIIscoob kid, because he talked shit.
