If names cant be released, shared and exploited then lets have skreegs look in the resulting botted csm...

There is no reason for them to have to disclose their names to other players.

Agreed, there is no reason to disclose real names.

Too many people take this game waaay to seriously and there are alot of unstable people out there who really would find you and do bad things because of what you did to their pixels. It is VERY easy to find a person via the internet once you have a name and a few small details, even mor eso if the figures have even a small reputation to research into.

How will it affect ccp when a crazy really does go and find someones wife or kids because they got angry in game and lost it.

Trust me, I almost know what I'm doing.

Well a little more seriously...

Why cant normal so called real people distinguish between a person and their avatar? What I propose is the old gamer use of an in game character tag for roleplaying. In or out of character. That still leaves plenty of mucking about potential but also leaves a line drawn in the sand that cant be crossed.

Everyone please take note that no one is saying that CCP should not have personal information of the CSM, rather the internet at large SHOULD NOT have it.

Surely you must have missed the part of the OP where he says that only CCP must know the names(I feel you bro, reading is hard).
On-topic : Supported. It's time people learn to differentiate between a game and RL.

Oh, that's right! Nobody at CCP EVER leaks any information, ever. Just ask Hilmar about that................

Also, the TIMING of this is suspicious. Late on a Friday Night. CCP gone and only a few hapless GM's around for the next 48 hours. How convenient.

So you don't support this because their names might be leaked?

Are you forgetting that such a leak would place CCP in a fairly precarious position?

Would not be too hasty in trusting names only to an old feudal hierarchal structure like ccp who in the past has come to blows with the new palyer order and well... Lost. I would rather trust my identity to a crowd than to a secluded and protectionist group of corporate PR men.

I read your post, very interesting analysis and opinion and I was clearly about to /sign.

Then I just remembered Prencleeve video, the RL threats and comments about Alex RL information and I can't sign any more.

By the way, CSM candidates should not even have to present themselves IRL for this very same reason. Does CCP guard or another CCP member tells you his RL name, tells you his RL life CV whatsoever? -no, and if they do it's a big mistake.

This is an internet video game, where internet anonymous nerds do whatever/whatsoever from killing pixels to act like pedos, threat people RL, bullie, have racist comments more often than they say hello to someone else, girls don't exist or they're gay/played by men, most guys are gay, and so on and so forth.

So because of the above, I can't agree with you, this can take proportions that go beyond reason.

I support this idea. There is too much madness, too many RL threads leveled at people like the Mittani and you are right - the community is not mature enough. Let CCP know and leave it like that. What purpose is there for the community to know the players? Let them interact with the characters and leave it at that.

Huh?

Currently, to run for the CSM, you are required to divulge your RL identity not only to CCP, but to the entire community. The idea is that CSM candidates should not be required to do so (except to CCP, of course, but this is already done through your account info)

When EvE ingame shenanigans spill over into real life, it becomes a problem and CCP needs to stop it.

I wonder what was the rationale behind of not doing this in the first place.
