I voted "not post and browse only," but chances are there would be a lot less activity so I'd really have nothing interesting to browse, so I was thinking about "stop visiting completely." But if somehow there's relevant discussion, I'd certainly browse.

But TL and Blizz forums are completely different. TL actually contributes to the Starcraft community.

edit: uh-oh. 1199 posts. I wanna stay a Lurker forever...

I REALLY don't like the idea of the use of real names online becoming common in any way. God save the wild west Internet I know and love.

it would just be annoying cause nobody would know what anyone wrote but i still think we would have same quality on the site
over internet i think its more fun to use my internet nick while in real life i want ppl to call me my real name, dont see a point to thread each other

Chill would get trolled by TDot in real life. As much as TL as a community is better than the BNet forums (I'm pretty sure anyway, never really been there), we still get some freaks in here sometimes that probably shouldn't have access to people's real names.

I wouldn't care. I've used my real name as a forum alias in other communities countless times.

Not post but still browse. TL is better than bnet though so I don't see it happening any time soon.

I'd stop posting. I'd still watch the streams and perhaps play FPL, but that'd be about it.

I would probably just browse only. I already post fairly infrequently, so it's not like my habits would change drastically. I'm not sure if I'd give up liquibet or fantasy though.

I would browse less and less until I left most likely. I'm pretty sure the community would shrink fast, then again you could make a fake name and use that... Which I would do if there was no other choice.

TL doesn't have a problem with trolls and such because it's so heavily moderated. There's no "upside" for offering this at TL, but there would probably be a small upside with offering this for blizzard because it will reduce a lot of the trolling and smurfing. The WoW boards are filled with level 1 characters that were created just to trash talk because people are too scared to do it on their main account because they will reflect poorly on their guild.

Team Liquid is one of the top google results for a noticeable portion of the stuff I type into google, even completely unrelated stuff to SC. When some employer googles my name, I don't want the first result to be me talking casually about a videogame, even if I do so respectfully and in a non-trolling manner.

But there's no option for "Circumvent the system to use a fake name" which is what I would actually do.
