When someone posts information, I'd like to know who they are, what team they're on, etc.

When they use fake names, like 'smokescreen', it's even worse. In this manner, they can post misinformation, and reap the benefits of legitimate posts, without letting anyone know their background.

The idea of this board is to share informationl, not hide it. They have nothing to fear, unless they were hiding something...

I think first and last names, along with legitimate team #, should be a requirment for anyone wishing to post on this site.

Anyone feel the same way, how about the webmasters of chiefdelphi?

Hi, I'm Brian Gattman, a student from team 365. I don't see a need at all for anyone to reveal their name on the boards. I did it there to show that I am infact not the malicious people that you seem to think 'hide' behind online aliases. 'Gniticxe' is my online name for nearly everything, so it was natural to use it for here. However, my team number has been right over there under it since I joined. Further, perhaps some people don't want their personal information out on the internet. For example, after a quick search at www.whitepages.com I now know 7 possible addresses and phone numbers for you, Ben. If I knew your dad's name, I would be certain. I don't mean to come across mean or stalker-ish, just showing you the potential of the internet.
And as for people posting misinformation and reaping the benfites of actual posts, yeah - it could happen. Although simply signing on as a guest would get you to all the posts - even though you cannot post yourself. No one is saying this is the definative source for all truth about FIRST, just a great place to exchange ideas and get to know other FIRSTers.
