Sorry I have been away for a while.
I can give assurances that the only details held are those given at registration and validated email address.
Unlike commercial websites/social media which sells your data and uses ad tracking. The forum is a non profit site. Remember this forum is free of charge and is kept running based on members kind donations.
Personally I’m not against the use of pseudonyms.
One of the things that I can probably set up is a separate sub forum where only members who use their real identify can participate.
How that would work I’m not sure as I don’t really want to be in the position of confirming users but maybe that is something Dave could do. Maybe it could be done based on reputation points, get over say +1000 reputation you can enter a separate sub forum.
If anything this has instigated a debate and welcome any ideas?
