MODERATORS
Some time ago, concerned with toxicity on their World of Warcraft forums, Blizzard Entertainment decided to implement a "RealID" system which would attach the customer's real name from their records to their forum post. In a sort of "self immolation" protest to show Blizzard how absolutely terrible the idea was, myself and a few others posted our own names willingly before the new system was implemented. It was predictably bad as you might imagine and the plans were scrapped entirely.
