Original Thread: FAKE NAMES
jennylee
Should members with fake names like xyz and ... be allowed to register.. Nowadays too much of these fake names are being created.

edwardchiu
Yes... as long as they fill in their profile with real name. Let's give anonymous members a deadline to fill in their real names and some verifiable details to ensure that they aren't just filling in fictitious information.

Good question. I suppose it's up to the Admin. After all, site registration and forum registration are common. But how'd we go about it? Someone'll have to play the heavy and start asking questions and kicking people out...

Let wait for them to get out of their mold. They are into hibernation. This happens in every online community [8D]

I thought moderators only moderate the forum and the discussions. How do we go abt moderating the ppl? Are they suppose to now turn from moderators to inspectors? Does it serve any purpose to ban multiple nicks?? Is it right to ban them? I guess it does if they are causing nuisance.

You're right, we can't. Only admins can moderate members.

You know what they say about an ounce of prevention... Why wait for trouble? Besides, no one registers two nicks for innocent purposes. Do they? [;)] I'm sure everyone wants to know exactly who they're addressing. No one likes to be deceived. If somebody did it by accident, that's understandable. We ought to delete the one he or she doesn't want.

yep...we should do that, it would prevent rigging of polls...

dutyfree
