<p>Absolutely every negative experience and problem that I have experienced in SL has been attributable to the fake name policy and the inability of individuals to be sure of whom they are actually talking to really.

<p>And the supposed benefits of real names, like better behavior because actions have consequences, are pretty much shown up as balderdash by the many many sites that exist just to make fun of people behaving badly on Facebook.</p>
<p>And they have been forced to back down from enforcing real names in a number of cases, including mental health professionals who can't use their real names on social media and, drag performers who need to use their stage names for safety's sake, and other edge cases even they have been forced to admit are legitimate.</p>
<p>Google started out copying Facebook, because they thought Facebook's success was due to their broken name policy, and had to comprehensively reverse their policy because it caused too much disruption. </p>
<p>Honestly, Facebook's success is despite their real-sounding-name policy, not because of it.</p>Carlos Loff commented on 'Project Sansar May Require RL Names, Suggests CEO, UPDATE: Audio/Transcript Confirms, "But We Have Not Made Final Decisions", UPDATE 2: Linden Lab Disputes'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef01bb0916313f970d2016-06-24T12:29:06Z2016-06-24T12:29:06ZCarlos LoffFalse Issue - How can they vetify and how many thousands of employes would be needed to thoroughly verify you...<p>False Issue - How can they vetify and how many thousands of employes would be needed to thoroughly verify you were using your real name ???</p>
