Poll in the Help and Suggestions subforum

[Graham Banks]

The CTF members would like me to draw your attention to the poll in the Help and Suggestions subforum that is canvassing members' views on the use of aliases.
The poll only runs over a number of days, so you'll need to get in quick!

Regards, Graham.

I think everybody should be allowed to use an alias, i think that is more fair.And we want Ed and ChrisW back since they want to use an alias for their own reason that we must respect even if we disagree.

Because of nobody should use an alias issue, we lose 2 valuable members ChrisW and Ed in the forum.

Subsequently we lost Enrique as well. If someone wishes to use an alias that looks like a real name why bother? Of course, no one should be allowed to use names such as God, Monkey etc. As long as some people are allowed to use aliases, others should be as well regardless of how long they have been members. If the no alias policy were to continue, they should ask everyone who uses an obvious alias to use a real name(at least real looking).

Yeah Excellent point you make here Tony,If we don't allow alias members, it means we do not allow legends like Ed or ChrisW
valuable members sounds more important that a nonsense policy.

Everybody should be allowed to use an alias.simple enough.

Well I'm sure Ed would tell you that it's nice to know who you're talking to.
How would using an alias help in this regard?

Ed himself wanted to use an alias for a good reason,he had created it.
He would reveal his identity just like ChrisW revealed his real name while posting as Gaston Leferve.I support his wish to remain anonymous.I highly respect both Ed and ChrisW.Their participation matters.

The main point is we miss these valuable members due to alias issues.

Does it make a difference if you know who you are talking to? Gaston admitted to being Chris W, so everyone knew who he was talking to. The account in question was an alias, now that we know the true identity of the person, it no longer matter.

If you're prepared to reveal your real name when posting under an alias, then what's the point of using an alias?

ChrisW gave some reason as to why he doesn't want to use an alias,Ed too.
you must respect their decision to remain anonymous and value more of their participation(which is what we want, and more important of all),old rules allow such issues and was peaceful than the new one.
