    There are something like 3 people who play FFXI and know my RL name. Privacy is a fairly big deal to me, as I don't really want my RL name associated with an MMO if someone goes to google me. That said, I don't see how keeping your in-game name secret is particularly important.
    Lets put it this way, there are people that don't care if others know their RL name ingame and use it in parties etc. To those people your post makes no sense, what do you have to hide they may ask...or what does it hurt for people to know your name? The point isnt really to have to justify it, it's that it would bother you (just as this issue bothers some of us).

    Different people have different levels of what they consider privacy, some would laugh and be totally unable to grasp what you just posted as many here seem to be towards those that have a problem with this.

    Feel free to point out how I've invalidated my argument.
    In my eyes, you argue that people who post their character name are of a higher calibre, are worth more, are more trustworthy and generally more worthwhile to this forum. You go on to say that people that post using mules are trolls, flamers, moronic..etc.

    Then you get someone like mr Scuro post what he just did totally invalidating everything you are trying to say. His post was so stupid it was deleted by an admin, notice his name blazed onto his sidebar there..it didn't stop him did it? I don't see any mule posters being anything like what you say, I see a heck of a lot of main character posters fitting right into that description you keep using though.

    lol I just saw your own post has been edited for flaming, breaking the rules of the forum..

    Wow ... my post was in need of moderation..seriously? My statement was on topic, and about as PG-13 as possible. I most certainly did not target anyone by name either. As far as what someone else posted after me I have no control over other peoples comments.

    Your post was edited for "inflammatory comments" so the admins disagree with you.

    It was plain to everyone that your comment was directed at anyone who doesn't want their character name shown. Just because you didn't name anyone specifically doesn't mean that your flaming wasn't directed at specific people.

    Your post could have said "Sir, I disagree with you for these reasons, Your idea is illogical" and it can be removed if enough people report it enough times .

    You called people "moronic" that's inflammatory in my book.

    And now you are thumbing your nose at the admin 's decision.

    Hordecore. Dallas. Akujima. Who do you consider horrible posters who are showing off their name?

    I never said all of the anon posters are bad. I'm simply challenging your assertion that the worst posters on these boards are not anon. You have yet to provide a specific example of these worst posters who show off their name and "exploits".

    The 3 people you mentioned are not people hiding behind mules, they are posters from before change. This whole argument is about posters "hiding" behind mules being negative or not as good as anyone else and nobody can show mule posters that are actually anything but valid, decent members of this community, not to say you said it directly but that is the general idea from many posting in this.

    I won't name names but there really are some stupid posters on this place, look at the EU maint ime thread for instance. Ultimately I don't think this forum has any really "bad" posters though, there are some childish posters that are trying to bring the FFXIAH mentality over but even they aren't really bad.

    That must mean it's time to rally the mule army, and report some more posts yeah?
    I think you've run out of things to say, the point was you got busted on what you falsely accused people on doing while you did them yourself and that the next "linked poster" made a post so trollish/stupid it was deleted, further disproving any notion that linked = better or more accountable.

    lol its funny because my post got deleted and it had no ill will or offense towards anyone, just was blatantly stating the facts that I won't restate because apparently big brother finds me to be mean apparently. Eh doesn't much matter, over all the point is, this topic is just foolish. There isn't a point in arguing it anymore because people are so attached to their characters they actually feel that revealing their name is a violation of privacy. What a crock lol. Oh well. As far as I'm concerned if you really feel like leaving because you have your anonymous avatar placed in the forum along with its job and server. Well then I say even more Kudos to SE for instating a policy to weed out those that probably shouldn't be on the forums in the first place.

    Its funny because at this point it should be evidently clear to the admins as well as the people posting who are the true trolls fueling this argument. Since its really only 2 people at this point fighting one side against at least a solid 6. I really think at this point and time its clear that people don't mind displaying their names, that they should make the highest character your main character, and that by no means is SE out of bounds for having players display the information that they are letting us rent.

    Numbers mean nothing, the sad truth is that many have stopped posting here out of principle or because they didn't want to be forced to do something pointless. People that added to the forum and that should of never been forced to leave, what is left is not the "cream of the crop" by any means..reading some of the horrid posts shows that very well.

    I still find it amusing how many people shout out the word troll without the knowledge of what it means. According to many, differing oppinion = troll. Maybe it's good so many people judge a posters worth based on their ingame account, cause if it was judged by what they actually post here many may lose any respect they seem to think they have at all.
