Assuming that we have two different people with different IP addresses, if the second person does post something slanderous, then we'd be able to properly identify the culprit via the IP address that was used to make the the post. Or at any rate, the company that manages the IP address would be able to do that.
Almost impossible to do with a VPN. We've discussed this at length on ET. Members here seem to brag about how there is no way possible for anyone to track their IP and their whereabouts. There was an entire thread with marketsurfer where everyone came out of the woodwork claiming how easy it was to be invisible.
Well, I guess it's about time to start migrating ET over to real names anyway. If a billion+ people can post under their real names on Facebook, Google+, and linkedin, there's no reason why we can't start raising the bar here.
That would be a GREAT idea! The quality of posting here would go up ten fold. Not to mention it would allow you to integrate ET over to Facebook and Linkedin much more easily.
. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- With permission I can use this account. You say I talk too much about Zimmerman, and I talk bad to ET members. I only talk about my opinion of Zimmerman and facts too. And many many other posters are talk too about Zimmerman. I never make the thread about him, I only talk in the thread. I really do not talk bad too much to posters. When the posters say to me (bitch,cunt,stupid), then I say something to them.
I agree, and it would greatly clean up the content, pretty much everyone on the internet is an asshole, its a different story when you have to put your face behind your words.
Maverick, I remember I say pussy to you one time. When Gabfly poster is banned the thread is talking bad about him. So I feel is wrong to talk about Gabfly when the ET take away his freedom to respond on the ET. Ok, so I should not say pussy that to you. I am sorry. I do feel is very wrong to take away freedom to respond from Gabfly on the ET, then still to have freedom to speak for posters to talk bad about Gabfly.
Don't know if you're serious or not, but I'd certainly be ok with it. Along with a personal photo as well.
Trendlover, you've called "a lot" of people a pussy on this board. If you are going to attack other members, why not register your own account? It looks like Baron might be making some changes soon. How do you feel about registering your real name?
Gabfly didnt get banned because of his posts, he repeatedly got banned becaue he tried to tell the moderators how to run the site, and he wouldnt settle for it unless he got his way, he was an insane narcassist who thought the internet was created solely to cater to his needs.
