Gosh. I wish Jeff was as vigilant on all threads. Plenty of trollish, nasty stuff goes unremoved.
I think everyone should be required to have a distinct username on DCUM. That would obviously not prevent those truly bent on mayhem from creating multiple usernames, perhaps even from multiple computers is they really really are obsessed, but I think it would eliminate 90% of the nastiness. It would still preserve anonymity in the sense that one's real name would not be known, but by forcing people to be repeat players with fixed identities, it would make it a lot harder for people to be repeatedly nasty without being called out (and a lot harder for the same person to post over and over again without that's being apparent).
