Using that said information to deny you from employment is not. The denial of employment would need to always be based on a specifc aspect in which the employer finds that either, you are not qualified for the position in which you are applying for or the position you are applying for is no longer open due to a sudden or non sudden change in business needs or the position was filled. Following under the assumption that some other members of the forum have in regards to this predicament can be applied to anything else on the web. They can google your name, find out that you won 1st place in a chess tournament and you think that if the person making hiring decisions doesn't like chess (because their father died to choking on a chess piece or something ridiculous like that), can deny you from employment soley because you play chess? I'm sorry homie but that's discrimination and is definitely against the law if it's used to deny you from employment. If you feel that you have a case in which you were denied employment because of that, then as I said, you can bring them to court. If they have proof that your decision of being hired was not based on that or you have no proof otherwise, how can you blame a forums about Starcraft being the reason you were not hired? The real world operates differently to how it is supposed to. Companies are supposed to employ people without bias to gender, race, age and many other things but reality is very different and its very difficult to prove. Much better to just not provide them with the ammunition in the first place. | ||

This is a time when almost everyone knows NOT to give out personal details unless they have no other choice. I don't post on their official forums anyway and people will use fake identities. The most important thing here is how disappointingly stupid Blizzard are becoming. | ||

Exactly man. Like I've said a couple times ... if you do a yellow page search on me only 3 results come up. 1 is some random guy, the other is myself and my dad. Gee I like those odds of them picking someone I would care to see not harrassed. | ||

since sc2 is a game for a wide spectrum of players i don't get it at all i wouldn't let my kid give out his real name online .. and i doubt i'm the worst on the issue of course it's the forum not the game, but still getting info and discussing the ins and outs of the game is a part of the fun, to not be able to do it in the company's forum seems counter intuitive, not to mention so stooopid from a commercial point of view anybody else thought of this or messaged blizz about it? | ||

If you really don't think it's an issue you would be willing to do it, since when blizzard starts handing full names out it will be easy enough to discover this information. Oh yeah ... any random jerk off can run a full background check on you too if he wants to pay a few bucks. If you're stupid enough to put personal information on the internet anything further than your name you deserve all you get to be honest, I'm more than happy for people to know my name, it does not bother me, good luck trying to glean any further information from knowing it - even if you can get as far as figuring out which one of the many people I share my name with. | ||
