RL names

Submitted by Ciaran Laval on Sat, 11/24/2007 - 12:20.

Facebook was in the news the other day, people were being told they were revealing too much information about themselves and that that is dangerous. I really don't think RL names is an attractive proposition. I certainly wouldn't want to use my RL name on SL. Isn't part of the selling point of SL getting away from RL?

Now as for buying an island off someone whose name matches their payment info on file name, I don't see that as being an issue either. If people are going to rip people off with their SL name tied to RL info, they will also rip people off with their RL name tied to their RL name.

I think that LL can help with trust, by getting away from their "No interference" approach and actively aiding residents who are scammed. If someone buys an island and it isn't delivered, LL have a duty to intervene, surely?
