    Bad idea.

    Ever hear the phrase "Not my problem, I don't want to get involved". Say you see someone in game being bullied. What are YOU gonna do ?

    Once again someone only looking at a small microcosm of the entire problem. What removing anonymity would do is make people behave as they would in real life(yes i know bullying and what not happens in RL but not to the extant that it does on the internet).

    As are you.

    Anonymity on the internet has done much good for the world itself. If everyone behaved as they did on the streets we would all be worse for it and often oblivious to the world around us and especially the flaws of ours and other governments.

    *edit*

    You also seem to think that the lack of Anonymity would make people not "Bully" online, face it people "Bully" with their names known all the time as well making your name known will do little to curb the real issue.

    OMFG we agree on something <wahoo>

    Do the people who walk on the wrong side of the street annoy you like they annoy me? Stick to the right people, it aint that hard.

    And those texters (or w/e they call themselves), every other day, one stands in front of me at the traffic lights, waiting for the light to turn green so we can walk across. There they are, texting on the bb oriphone, light changes, they keep on texting. Sometimes, I wanna just nudge them. lol
