[quote=Blutarski][quote=Anonymous][quote=Heloise][quote=Anonymous]Curious, how do we know that "Blutarski" and "Heloise" aren't the same person logging into two different accounts?   We don't.

I'm all for this kind of arrangement IF Facebook authentication is used.   Short of that, it's all basically anonymous garbage.   What's worse, having quasi-anonymous named accounts can amplify the effect of trolling. [/quote]

Go ahead and ask Jeff, he’ll be able to tell you we’re not posting from the same IP address.[/quote]

Do you have a phone?  More than one?  How about an iPad?  Do you have a laptop?

That’s potentially four addresses right there.  And it’s still just you.  [/quote]

Of course it's not going to be foolproof. Posting from named accounts only is not a guarantee that people won't abuse it, however in the cases where it has been used (socal) it does help reduce the useless chatter. I suspect that most frivolous posters don't go to the trouble of multiple accounts just to create their mischief. At least when you can see a name on a post, you can decide whether or not to read the next post from that name.

I suspect if this forum existed, we would see only a small fraction of people using it, but the quality of posts would be much improved. [/quote]
