Fish Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 Hi All, I am not sure if I am in the majority or minority, but how often do you see comments on this site which are not constructive, but at times downright rude. Is there any support for asking the site to only allow users with their "actual" names on their accounts? I know we will get some of the "freedom of speech" comments, but if you have something to say, why hide behind a made up username? Even mine would have to be changed from Fish to Brian Fisher, but at least everyone will know who has made any comment.....it also might stop some people making spiteful comments because no one knows who they are. Just a thought, but probably too hard to manage for a local social media site with huge numbers contributing. New Season just around the corner, so good luck to everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Deacon Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 In the perfect world, it would be great for everyone to use their real names, but as Keith B has suggested, an enforcement might stifle debate and 'banter'. I would like to think that we more than often stop any thread from getting too personal by taking the appropriate action, but this is probably a good opportunity to remind everyone to seriously think about what you have written before pressing the "Submit" button. There is also the option with every post written to let us know any concern by clicking the "Report post". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Rundle Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 I prefer the use of real names, it makes me think twice about posting anything libellous or too vitriolic as my comments can easily be traced back to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Blewett Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 There is so many people on this forum that chat rubbish and don't know a thing about football. When they chat C*** they don't have the guts to back it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B Manning Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 I set up my user name when that was what everybody did and as the great majority of forum members know who I am then I have not felt the need to change it. Now to B Manning everybody thinks of the comedian but it`s not, just reverse it to Manning B then its Manning Black., self explanitary I hope.

Jacob-Englefield Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 In an ideal world those who have accounts registered would have to use their real name. But I suppose if that was the case it would take some of the fun out of the forum. Which you don't want as I believe this is one of the best around.
