I only use user names.Wyldewode wrote:I still find it hard to use real names instead of the usernames.
As far as I'm concerned, your name is what you introduce yourself by. Even though I know the real names of many of the watchers, I never ever use them, except when the real name is an abbreviation of the username.They have adopted a zero tolerance policy in several areas. One strike and you are out. Of course this can only be easily implemented in areas where things are black & white. Short of explicity showing genitalia and/or sex acts I suppose there is a gray area somewhere and thus room for argument. For the record the email that I was referencing was described as pretty clearly pr0n. While it did not involve two people lets just say it wasn't a typical portrait shot from JC Pennys.matrixman wrote:That seems harsh. Wouldn't a reprimand have been more appropriate? Or don't your employers believe in the idea of second chances?
That comes from a fear of lawsuits. The penalty may be harsh, but they consider it a case of whose butt to protect.AjK wrote:They have adopted a zero tolerance policy in several areas.matrixman wrote:That seems harsh.

That's my standard policy, too. I should never have given out my real name here; unfortunately, that can't be taken back.Avatar wrote: I only use user names.

Mine only got out because of the anthology...I couldn't publish something under a pseudonym. Anyway, I don't think it's serious...hell...you give out your name over the phone daily probably. *shrug* Is not such a big deal. But I do have unspecified paranoid issues over it. Damned dirty...anthology!Avatar wrote:
Generally, no. Only if the person on the other line asks for confirmation of my name, and I make a point of asking why. Unless I'm in an irritated mood, in which case I'll curtly acknowledge my name, and I'll give the person a few seconds to justify my time on the phone before I hang up. Since I'm not a big phone user anyway, I tend to not be in a good mood when I get calls out of the blue.Anyway, I don't think it's serious...hell...you give out your name over the phone daily probably.
I'm still trying to figure out how people here learned my real name.....matrixman wrote:That's my standard policy, too. I should never have given out my real name here; unfortunately, that can't be taken back.
