Real Names will not be required for Blizzard forums (We did it!)

Our time has come. For three hundred years we prepared, we grew stronger. While you rested in your cradle of power. Believing your people were safe, and protected...

I am pretty sure that when Blizzard merged in with Activision that several clauses and stipulations were brought to the forefront prevent interference from Activision. Blizzard is a much larger company now then they once were. I personally believe that if they truly didn't care about the fans, we would have seen a lot more atrocious acts that would far surpass the RealID crisis.

On a side note, I do think it was cool that the entire blizzard community came together to have said issue retracted.

We the community care for our games.

SCLegacy is the best example I've found of a well-moderated community. I rarely see too much around here get out of hand and everyone here seems to be relatively friendly here.

To me, this shows that moderation is the best method of creating a create community as opposed to things such as real names.

I don't think it's moderation here that's making our little fringe world so nice. (lol)

I believe it's actually about the kind of people that go on here. Our demographic, the kind of people we are and look for, aren't trolls or excessively disrespectful people. Yes, we've had our fair share of troubles with a few members who I shall not name (though they're actually still respectable people, unlike the BNET trolls or a good amount of BNET posters), bots, and I think some invading trolls, but no real major problems otherwise.

SCLegacy folks, you can pat yourself on the back, you're all great, friendly, respecful and respectable people. I love it here!

@Alex06: without good moderation, the trolls and what not would be here just like they are everywhere else which would result in most people either leaving or turning into assholes in defense.

Seems like this was the reason for realID

You bumped this for that?

China has no political effect on America. If China was pressuring Blizzard then they would alter the Chinese version; not all of them.
