Read this piece from Slate:
Troll, Reveal Thyself: Why we need to get rid of anonymous comments.
http://www.slate.com/id/2287739/
This is a really hot topic among online publications right now. Inside TechRepublic we’ve been having conversations about this for a couple years. The Facebook phenomenon is moving the Web away from anonymous commenting and toward people representing themselves more transparently online.
There are good arguments to be made that when people have their own name and reputation attached to their comments then you have a lot fewer trolls and personal attacks. The flipside is that you sometimes get less-honest dialog, and you have people who have a lot of reputation on the line in the real world who would be less willing to participate.
What do you think?
