They are still anonymous, just a banner that says which agency they are with. If you stick an IS banner on pieman, you still dont know who he is.

It doesn't sound very anonymous. It also doesn't seem right to say one person has to reveal where they work, but other people don't. The same rules should be applied to everyone.

Fair enough, I thought it was a good idea as we are dealing with agencies.

I just dont like the idea of an agency being present here without knowing it.

I know I am a bit slow,so I do not quite get this trail thing. For one month everyone disclose who they really are, if it does not work we go back to being anonymous?

Hmm, Rubyroo left as well. It is not even implemented yet, but already loads of people dropping off.

So far left Matt Dixon, Rubyroo, Microbius, Vlad the Imp, Michealo,

Matt dixon? Hmmm i thought that WAS his real name.
Yeah, probably because of the stocksy thread, not related here. The name just stuck in my head as being greyed out.

Yes, i think you are right. Now that you mention it, i remember reading that.

It appears that candidate 'Bad Idea' is going to win the election...

Obviously, you wouldn't disclose who you really are, if you wanted to remain anonymous. You would either pay for the privilege or just go away, during the trial.

Bad idea, and honestly, really not anonymous member make the forum better? For what I read, the more disrespectful posts have been made by them.
If this is the begin of a better forum I'll be out.
Remember what means the word forum, is a meeting place, and I do not need to see an ID card to know if someone says the right things or not.

Let's ask gay people to 'just try' being straight for a month. Then we all vote on whether we think that was a 'success'. Seems fair to me.

Oh, I get it, for one month only those who want to remain anonymous must pay or go. After the month, if it did not work (not sure what the standard will be in judging if it worked or not), the anonymous people who paid will get their money back and all the deserters will creep back from the dark corners of the internet, where they waited quietly in obscurity and darkness, to rejoin the flock of rich faceless ones who remained.

Still think I am just too slow for the type of reasoning..... $:-\$

I'm not sure I follow your logic. Why would you get your money back for month's service you agreed too? If you like, I can send you $5.00 for the trial. I'm not rich or faceless, but I can afford the $5.00.

Let me see if I follow your logic. You're saying that everyone in the Microstock Group is gay? And, Leaf is proposing that we all go straight for a month?

OK, ok, I think everyone has had a chance to voice their opinion on this. Lots of good thoughts - thanks. And, unfortunately a few casualties at the mere mention of the idea. That still makes me scratch my head

I'll lock this thread now and think on it for a bit. Nothing will happen without a good warning and like I've stated earlier, even if I do decide to implement some version of what I proposed, nobody's account will all of a sudden become 'exposed'. Any info that is shown in the 'shown identities' will be entered AFTER the change... if there ever is one. I have to think a little on this.
