Ok I'm golden and agree to abide.
Just a thought and one we have as a rule at the OSCA Drag Racing Board I moderate at....every poster has to agree to using his/her full name and have it on every post either as their signature or nickname. What it does is eliminate "Napolean Complex" hiding behing a keyboard.
If you can write someting you should be able to stand up with your real name attached. People can still not list a town of residence and hide email address but the name at least you will always know who it is as the owner of the website.
It worked awesome for us on the OSCA message board and as a moderator if anyone posts anything wwithout full name we are to advise them to add their full name as required in the rules or their post is pulled no matter if the topic is acceptable. We have very little and really no problems with people trashing others and have a really respectable community.
Just a thought for you to ponder and think about. You are really early in the message board and pretty easy to implement and explain why in the board rules.

Did you notice that in the rules it states that the signature must have first name and last initial. I don't know about putting their last name in, if that is something people want added on the Internet. So knowing who the people are, I can figure things out with the last initial.
Feedback on that would be great though, as we are in the building process.
I also see the need to make a moderator's board. Will get to that shortly.

Yes I noticed that the last initial but I know how it helped our OSCA board requiring full 1st and last. Just a thought I would suggest it.
