This is obviously a ridiculously stupid idea but why is everyone so upset over it? I always had the impression that Bnet forums were junk anyway

No man, having real names will not stop people trolling forums. What it does do is let other trolls and hackers and what not find out EVERYTHING to know about you and then use it against you.

Exactly ... the only ones which are going to be hurt are the "honest fools" who dont get a fake ID, so there is absolutely no point in implementing real ID posting ...
If you cant say what you're meaning, you can never mean what you're saying.

I'm pretty sure it was the whole reason that this was made a law in Korea.

It's actually because minors spend so much time at PC cafes and they have relatively strict age laws for games among other things

The amendment mostly targeted large websites, not games. It had much more to do with online libel.

Myung-bak Lee, South Korea's president, defends the proposed measures as checks against "a society rampant with excessive emotional behaviour, disorderliness and rudeness". In a recent speech, he said: "We have to guard against 'infodemics,' a phenomenon in which inaccurate, false information is disseminated; prompting social unrest that spreads like an epidemic."


You can try to call it politically motivated if you want to but he's talking about a real problem there.

He deleted it but it didn't prevent someone else from impersonating him.

Wonder how many of his old friends are going to add this account.

Cant you see that its a fake page that someone made using his name... now can you see how ppl that even dont have facebook can suddenly get pages created in their name. Then with facebook integration they can trick your real friends into adding that fake page to their friends, then all of the sudden they may de talking to someone posing for you inside battle.net?!

This is the isue, once you make things public anyone can use them on the web... and there are allot of posers out there..

I'm fairly convinced that Blizzard is using this whole Real ID on the forums scheme to force people away from the Blizzard forums and lower their monthly bandwidth costs.

Oh and by Blizzard, I mean Activision

No, I can't see it's a fake page, because you need to login to do that apparently and I'm not a member of facebook, because of stuff like this. I thought I was being paranoid for a while but now Im really glad I've managed to avoid this and myspace. At least if someone makes a page in my name now anybody who knows me knows I'd never join.

Ok I see we agree on the problem here, now since you dont have a facebook account, when we all know your real name its quite simple go get an account under your name going. Now you say that "anybody who knows me knows I'd never join" but the "ppl you know" are never the problem, the problem are the ppl that don't know you yet, but want to, and may search info about you on these sites.

P.S.: I'm sry for using your post as an example, but its a good example to explain ppl "what's the big deal"
