Annthing I say on the message board I am now accountable for with potential job suitors? Give me a break. I play MMO's to unwind and take on the persona of another person. In Ultima Online and DAoC I just PKEd the crap out of everyone, no mercy, greifing was fun. In real life I am the nicest guy you will ever meet and will go out of my way for strangers. I don't think my online profile accurately reflects my attitude, nor do I want it to.
This has fail written all over it, and with the launch of KOTOR could spell bad news for blizzard.
I will say one thing though, all of the posters using level 1 toons to act like ######s does need to be fixed. It should be your highest level character on the account is your automatic posting toon, you can change it if you have one the same level. That would solve a lot of problems.

I remember that incident where a woman didnt get a job because her potential employer found facebook pictures of her when she was drunk on Halloween.
I think this is a bad idea simply because its unnecessary. People should have the right to their anonymity up until the point where they decide what degree of it they determine acceptable to shed.
Taking CP for instance, its all good and anonymous for most people, but some decide that it is acceptable to sacrifice some of that to play Softball or Hockey on forum organized teams. Sure its easier because CP is a lot more local, but in the end I think its just like anything else, people should have the right to choose.
