What do you think?



Too many trolls on the internet who hide behind the screen. I think you should be forced to use your real name on any social media and provide proof of identity as well. Would soon stop the trolls...

Does Facebook have trolls? I guess they can just use dummy accounts

People on the Internet are legitimately and unironically crazy. No fucking way this wouldn't lead to thousands of people being swatted, stalked, or killed.

I really really really don't like this idea, but I wonder if it is a POSSIBLE solution to a problem. I don't know.

Considering how creepy and stalkerish some of the people on this site are, no thank you.

You'd start seeing a lot of people changing their name to John Smith or something equally ubiquitous just to avoid being tracked down and hurt/killed by insane people.

Sigs are rather pointless, except if it's to showcase animation and images.

Nah, just cull the Human race instead. That would solve all issues tbh.

I agree ^ (actually, I find I agree with a lot of what Fable posts. Dont take that as an endorsement tho l3l)

but yea

what the average bear sees online is literally just the tippy top tip of the tip of the iceberg-mountain submerged legions into the icy abyss down into the heart of mariana trench. Think Torrents, but bigger. Much. Bigger.

No, it's already gone too far in the other direction just generally. People are way too open about their actual lives, some of us are old enough to remember when it was impressed upon us to guard our privacy online above anything else. Now people just have their whole fuckin' lives out there.

Definitely not. Too many dangerous people who take the internet too seriously.

While I do think people would probably be more inclined to behave themselves if this were a thing, some people are far too nefarious for this to ever work.

yes, we should make it easier for unstable people to assault/rape/kill targets of their anger or obsession
