Discussion Would You Still Use Forum if They Required Using Your Real Name & Photo?

[LifeQuitter]

For example, your username would be John/Jane Smith and your avatar had to be your drivers license or passport photo?

 

[Rocinante]

Yeah, at that point it's social media

Hell to the no. That's how to ruin a plan.

No. Many people would get fired ostracized outed ,put in mental institutions, never be able to get a job , stalked, rent an apartment ,buy a gun etc .

It would be much more difficult to commit suicide to get out of this hell

It's essential to remain anonymous when suicidal in this suicide prohibition state

If the knew our real names The prolifers would be constantly harassing, stalking, hacking us , ridiculing us , gaslighting us , identity theft, etc

I don't tell anyone IRL I want to kill myself

Why would I risk that? My goal isn't to be "saved".

Quick and easy way to receive a vacay in grippy sock jail

 

[LunarLight]

[N33dT0D13]

[Gone soon]

No. You can also skip that and go to mental hospital voluntarily

Using your real name on any website in any capacity simply just doesn't work not just talking about the sanctions suicide forums.

If you need any proof regarding this remember the time Blizzard KEK Division Entertainment Decided it would be a good idea to force all of its users to associate their real name with their accounts when posting on the forums?

Blizzard insisted that it would be totally fine for people to use their first and last name. In order to demonstrate this one of the developers posted their first and last name for everyone to see on the forums. They had numerous credit cards taken out in their name by random people and suffered identity theft. Needless to say blizzard very quickly walked back everything they were pushing in regards to forcing its members to use their real names on accounts for all to see. It's now just another oddity lost history.
