[C.H.Haskell]

I think it would be more fun to guess...

Jarred, my real name account seems to be re-activated, but not the posting privileges, so I can read-only but not post. Can you help a sistah out?

I pushed for Cinematography.Com to require real names for years and they finally did it a few years ago and it's been, for me, a big improvement. I've been posting under my real name on the internet for more than a decade, starting back when I was a beginner in this industry -- it's been far more of a benefit to have my real name out there than a problem.

I think, in general, one should sign one's name to an opinion -- for one thing, it tends to lesson the likelihood of making spurious, crack comments on an impulse or whim because there are no repercussions. And even when you do that, and there are some repercussions, at least you learn a lesson in self-moderation, which I do not think is a bad thing personally. Freedom of speech comes with the burden of responsibility and self-control.

However, over the years, occasionally some people have had some understandable reasons for preferring to stay anonymous. I understand some of those arguments, believe me, I just think there are too many advantages to a real name only policy in a discussion board.

 

[David Birdy]

Thanks for keeping it real Jarred!

Cheers
Dave

 

[Júlio Taubkin]

Wow, you're going through this pretty fast!

 

[Ketch Rossi]

Ketch - yeah, like that's a real name :biggrin:

Well, actually the full real name is: KETCH RAIMONDO ROSSI, but you can still call me KETCH ROSSI

when you come to NAB this year remind me to show you my DL. would post it here, but I think a better not.

ciao

 

[J Davis]

[Radoslav Karapetkov]

Hi Karapetkov Now i am Vigen Vartanov . Sow please don not call me BIBA

Okay.

 

[Pawel Achtel]

Good move, Jarred

 

[Yannick Hagman]

A good decision.

 

[Leo Ticheli]

Thank you!

Good shooting and best regards,

Leo

 

[NateWeaver]

It's a good idea. I've seen other boards do it and it keeps the crap down.

Thank you. It will make Reduser a better source for information.

 

[Irmeli R]

is it possible to use the company name or company website as our nick? on other forums we mostly have just one company login for us.

 

[Tom Lowe]

Good. Maybe it will cut down on some of the disrespectful and thoughtless posting.
