Another suggestion (redux)

Another thought...

<pet peve>

Is there a way we can have a setting that requires users enter their actual name in their profile? One of the things that I've found that makes forums annoying is that some people exploit the annonymity of using nothing but a username, and at that point, it doesn't matter if their avatar is a picture of their car... who are they?

They don't need a name in their signature or post, but it would be nice to be able to attach a real name to their "handle".

Josh, it's one of my pet peeves also. Kevin seems to have found a way to do this and real names will be displayed instead of handles before we go live.
