Real names under our istorya username. It could help against flame wars, harassment, spamming.

“Anonymous comments invite bullies to give offense for no other reason than they find it fun. They encourage normally well-mannered people to occasionally behave badly. And they waste the time we must devote to minding comment threads gone wild.”
~Commenting comes with a price — your name | Media, disrupted

The problem would be implementing this...

“Once we realized that anonymous commenters would chase civility — and often intelligence — out to the suburbs, we asked and begged them to stop. Then we threatened. Nothing worked. Finally, we started kicking offensive commenters out. But, in a sense, we couldn’t kick fast enough. Those we booted could, and often did, create a new email address and a new identity and got in again. We discussed requiring true IDs, but couldn’t come up with a way to make it work efficiently within the content management system we had. I was in the middle of what turned out to be a long process of laying off journalists and cutting expenses. Devoting hours of someone’s time to verify online identities seemed to be the wrong use of resources."

What if istorya accounts were linked/verified through facebook accounts?

Though also the suggestion of someone that there be paid membership ₱20~₱150 would force people to show up proving their identity. As well as deter rogue posters from quickly making new/multiple accounts quickly.

Try posting/publishing it. I think it doesn't show up in the preview.

This is near impossible to implement and enforce. But we are always on a lookout for options.

they can use fake names. who'd or can verify if it's real or not? if you want to link an fb acct, i'd probably create a dummy not my personal acct.

for flame wars and harassment, they still will happen with or without real names. in fb and real life, even with their names and faces exposed, they will harass and attack you.
for bullying, the only remedy is to ignore the poster and the post.

for security and personal reasons, i don't want to use my real identity and personal info nor link my fb account.

sorry, if i responded.
