I have just caught up on this after a weekend and a bit away. I agree that we are fortunate that it is only a minority who seem to delibarately aim to cause trouble.
I can see a number of reasons why people could prefer to post under a pseudonym, rather than their real name, many of them perfectly innocent, I hasten to add.
Whilst we clearly want to safeguard theMouthPiece and existing members, it is difficult to prevent troublemakers registering - as has been said already anyone could post that they belonged to a particular band, and without instituting unwanted checks with the band in question it would be hard to monitor.
We have also had a few instances of people registering under other people's real names, which clearly causes great concern, and would certainly only be done by those seeking to cause mischief. Even an apparently genuine email address can be misleading, as new accounts can easily be set up. Please be assured that, in such instances, the team will act promptly to deal with the situation.
