I voted Yes, but wish to ask some questions?
What if a member is an undercover officer/agent? Should they be requried to display their name and/or face?
What if the female population of the site starts getting calls and or people showing up at their house, since they put a name and a town together and searched the internet for a phone number?
. . .
Would these issues be a problem to anyone if they found out that an officer was killed or a woman was raped or killed becuase of this?
Or is the integrity of Martial Arts, so important, that no matter what happens, to anyone, everyone must know who everyone is?
Some might say those women and officers/agents would not be members then, and only lurk, and never post. This is fine, but I think you be loosing some good input.
Yet, with anyone being able to claim anything they want, and then join an internet forum, and be a member as long as they do not break the rules, this causes some/many heartache and pain to see this happen. I agree I wish it did not happen, but I cannot see it stopping given the human nature. I think these people will still be out there, and will still be in business, and we will have lost some valuable members.
Not sure what is best, not sure how to make it best for the majority.
