Hi, I see you live in the United States. The population is around 306 million people. Do you really think out of 306 million people you are the only one with your current name?

If you are concerned about it, simply don't post in their REALID FORUMS.

Problem solved.

Admissible in regards to the potential employer searching up your name in google and finding out information, yes. 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?

Let's make this interesting. Everyone who thinks this lack of privacy isn't an issue: post your full name, phone number, and address. 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.
