I don't think anyone is suggesting to punish those for "shenanigans" that is no one is suggesting to punish those who use sock-puppets. But posting information to tie someone to real life is not necessary.
If I capitalized the 'M' in marg's screen name would I be in violation of the new rules? Since she never revealed it was her actual name, and not just a screen name, I would be providing information that could tie someone to real life.

No. You would not be penalized for this. We still intend on using at least a smidgen of common sense here.
You also would not be penalized for writing TTribe instead of ttribe.

It's not about us reading MAD, it's about who can find whose name where. Do you agree that a poster should be able to post on MAD and MDB without a prospective employer being able to find your posts on MDB if they don't want them found?
Just MDB? Or both MAD and MDB? If they post both places, but only post their last name and profile pics at MAD (like this current example), people should know that the information will be read by the anti-mormons here. I mean, that's obvious, right?

Of course.
What should not be assumed is that a prospective employer (or whoever) will know to read both places. We should protect that privacy.

It isn't fair or just that prejudice exists, especially in places like Utah and Idaho, against people who would participate on a board like this. It isn't fair or just that prejudice exists against atheists where I live, either. But we have to deal with the reality of the world, and if a person believes that using his/her own name on this board could potentially be damaging, then they should have the right to make that determination.
What is the big deal? What harm is it going to do any poster here to refrain from referring to someone's real name, or refrain from posting a picture of that person?
We hate to seem like we don’t trust every nut with a story, but there’s evidence we can point to, and dance while shouting taunting phrases.

Tell that to the judge who sentenced the woman who was posing as a teenage girl, after the target of her "online shennanigans" killed herself.
You want Shades hauled into court, the logs of this board AND the chat entered into evidence, and you yourself put behind bars, because someone couldn't deal with your "online shennanigans" and committed suicide?
You're living in the some delusional "golden age of the internet", not reality, if you think the rest of the world doesn't care what's said on boards like this one.

Madame,
I will resist the urge to insult you lest you feel the desire to ingurgitate a handful of Ambien because the pain is too much to bear.
Equating my comment toward the neurotics of this board to that of a suicide is yet another overreaction (racism charges, and urinating in public swimming pools) by our resident hyperventalists. Oh my.
If this is trending where I think it is trending we should have to register in true name only, and be really nice to each other all the time and Ms. Harmony here can be the judge of what is and what is not acceptable. She clearly has a sober handle on reality.
Very Respectfully,
Doctor CamNC4Me

Produce your PhD in psychology, Cam, or be reduced to the poser you obviously are. You wouldn't know a neurosis if it keeled over on your porch, so any comment about posters here as "neurotics" is just hot air (not that we don't expect just hot air from you anyway).
I'm sure the parents of the dead girl are comforted by your support for the lack of personal responsibility on the internet.

Your knowledge of trends is obviously overstated too.

As an aside, I read this entire message in my head with the voice of C-3PO. It made much more sense when I did that.
