I like to keep my real life and my private/gaming life separate. I really don't want my facebook friends thinking all I do is play computer games (which I totally do).

Well it's a problem that this poll's answers contain too much bias.

I don't particularly care for Real ID but if I'm objectively answering this question, then it'd be "post with more care" and I suspect that's how a lot of people would alter their behavior if the system was forced on them.

"Post more, it's better" is obviously a sarcastic option and has no place in a serious poll. "Post less or differently" bundles up anyone who would choose "post with more care" as a negative.

Well anyway... my gut answer was "not post and browse tl only" when confronted with those choices and it just goes to show what direction this kind of phrasing will skew the answers.

I wouldn't change much to me, although most of my real life friends are unrelated to any kind of pc gaming scene so they probably wouldn't understand why I have many posts on certain community pages if they'ld google my name. Since my plan is to study medicine and become a doctor I'm also not very scared that some future employer would google me and think I'ld spend too much time on the internet or reveal my personal life too much or something.

I don't tend to troll or insult people unless they are so stupid that I'ld insult them in real life as well so no changes for me. I'ld rather care on certain other internet pages :X

I wouldn't change my posting habits because I don't troll, and it seems like this community wouldn't have stalkers. People are worried so much on the Battle.net forums because it is a way bigger community (not in terms of quality though, LOL) so they might have stalkers there, especially if you're a girl. Also people wouldn't be able to troll on Bnet forums either. >_>

Would probably still post a bit. As long as only registered users were able to see my name, and not just google searchers.

I dont understand how it would force people to use their real name? Like you would have to pay to post? or how?
cause i surely wont publicize my real name if i could easily write a fake one.

Kevin Johnson here. Good luck googling me.
4 people on my facebook friends are named Kevin Johnson.
3 people I went to high school with are named Kevin Johnson.
2 people named Kevin Johnson played professional sports in the US.
and 1 Kevin Johnson looks just like me but we're arch enemies.

For all we know these ARE peoples real name. How would team liquid make sure that we were using our real name?

Half of us would just re-register with fake names anyway... My real name is goofy, too. I don't wanna get teased again T_T

Blizzard should just do first name and last name initial.
For example Billy Pumpkin (I got bored) = Billy P.
And I voted not change my behavior, Christopher isn't such a noncommon name, and my last name, ehhh... it's not that weird. I mean it's asian so how diverse can it be.

Teamliquid's CURRENT success and amazingly high (by comparison) average post quality really exemplifies the virtues of strong moderation. Therefore, I strongly doubt a switch to RealID would net any quality gains for a forum like TL; it would seem more likely that it would actually reduce quality by causing many current quality posters to stop posting.

So, if it were implemented here, I'd probably not post and just browse, so long as the site continued to retain its relevance with the SC scenes. If that began to fade as well, I'd probably eventually give it up altogether
