Anonymity vs Privacy on the Net54baseball


I feel it's time for a healthy debate on this subject and hopefully we can find the best rule for the board, and the moderating of the rule. I will only say that the end result is members will have to stand behind what they say on the board. The "Privacy" on the Board is being debated.
Here is the rule today, (with a typo or two corrected):

"Anonymous, where this board is concerned, implies that you are not known to the moderator or anyone else. That is not permitted on Net54baseball. However, you may remain private on the board; otherwise, as long as your post is not argumentative, controversial, confrontational, accusatorial etc.…For example you can discuss attributes of cards, sets or memorabilia and stay private. You can not say someone is an imbecile, hard to deal with, gave poor service etc…and remain private on the board. In addition to that if your opinion is that you dislike someone, hate them, can’t stand or don’t like anything about them, and you want to tell the world about it on Net54baseball, then your full name will need to be in your post. The moderator may put the posters name on the board or delete their posts, at his sole discretion, when this rule is not adhered to. Heated debates will require first and last names to be known, and made public, on the board. Contact information will be given out for legal reasons or under extraordinary circumstances at the discretion of the moderator."



ps...the reason I am bringing this up again is the current way it's being done isn't working for me ...way too much oversight needed.
