In reply to Real Names
LEEvitOver
The man's going to do what the man's going to do - I'm powerless over his decisions, but I am not powerless over my own. The idea of 'limiting' us for not giving our "real name" - is like saying "I'll punish you if you feel sad." - Threats are not well taken by some, and many tend to either "fight or flight" - and buck that system, or run from it. Trying to control people to do what they don't want to do is like eating a box of exlax and having "control". Try see more it - and you'll probably end up with nothing but a bunch of 'crap' on your hands. It's not good business practice, to say the least. I never gained a friend by trying to force someone to be a friend - have you? People give personal information because they trust and choose to - not because you tell them they have to. I'm a Counselor, and I don't force anyone to share personal information - funny thing is, they do more so when I don't push it.

When a member comes onto your site, you have fields that are voluntary and fields that are mandatory. If a member chooses to not fill out a mandatory field (such as e-mail) then they don't get to join the site.

In the end, this is no different, except that Boonex is still allowing you to join. They are just saying, you will have limited abilities until you do the verification process.
