sounds fair to me.

 

[Steve Freebairn]

Good to see the Sheriff stepping up, Reduser needs to go back to how it was 6 months ago.

 

[Matthew Rogers]

Works for me. It's your house.

I for one would like to see a rule like the steadicam forum where you have to include your real name in your post. People are nicer, and you can tell when somebody is full of shit a little easier.

[Jason Ing]

Yeah, a real name would be good. But how would you really know? Sorry, have to get back to the set.

Cordially,

Steven Spielberg

 

[Hrvoje Simic]

Haha cool. I especially love rule #3.

 

[Gian Joon]

Quite fair, Jarred.

 

[G.A. Kokes]

All reasonable.

Cheers,

There are ways to make it more probable that a name is genuine (obviously no method is 100%). I think the key is that simply asking people to post under real names gets you most of the way there. Seems that way people adopt a more professional attitude, think twice before posting in frustration/anger, and the level of the discussion overall goes accordingly. The trolls see it's a place for serious discussion, and are less likely to jump in.

When your neighborhood has trash strewn streets and the walls are covered by grafitti tags, it attracts the wrong kind of people, and scares away the nicer types.

I like it a lot. . .

It would probably be too much to try to keep the language on a truly professional level, but I'd certainly welcome that, as well. But maybe that's exactly what #1 and #3 are addressing.

[BASSAM MSSALATIE]

i Totally agree .some posts should be cleaned .:innocent:

 

[Dave Neathery]

Good.

 

[Leo Ticheli]

I'd like to vote for a requirement that all posts be signed with name, craft, and location.

This really gives you a frame of reference increasing the value of the posts.

Good shooting and best regards to all,

I'd like to second Leo's suggestion. I think using real names keeps people accountable for their behavior. Making a transition to that sounds crazy, but there have been other boards in the past that have managed it.

It's too easy to make up a fake name and troll. Having to post with a "real name" doesn't stop anyone who wants to stir shit up. It comes down to motives.

I don't post my real name because I'm a privacy advocate. Why do I want to advertise to possible thieves out there that I have a Red and other possible equipment there for the taking? Pass. I'll just continue along with my small degree of privacy here and continue to not troll. The people on this board who need to know my real name, already do. :shiftyph34r:

[Mufu Giwa]

Good to check people,some starts to forget Red is a privately own business.

 

[Cüneyt Kaya]

nobody can control real names, trolls can be easily banned...

Agreed. It would never stop determined troublemakers. That's kind of besides my point though.

It comes down to how you view this discussion forum. I view it as a place where I can hopefully have good exchange with professional peers. I've already made working connections on this board as a result, people/services that I am held accountable for if something goes wrong.

People who value anonymity first (NOT pointing my finger at you, Sam, for real) are likely looking for something else, maybe? Entertainment?

I welcome this, on a forum like this I can't really see any reason to be anonymous.

I'm proud to be a member of this exclusive club!
