I've canceled my StarCraft 2 pre-order. It makes me sad Blizzard is take ing this stance on crushing trolls.
I've changed my pre-order over to FFXIV instead. Any other FF Shacker fanboi out there going to join me?

You have a bunch of assholes who like to stir up the wasp nest and watch the drama unfold into name calling and rage. Its the age old "school yard" rules. Think about the amount of man power the staff is using to police the forums and curb the anarchy. So let's call out the trolls. If you feel so strongly about your opinions and statements, put your name on it. Stand behind what you are posting on the forums. Own it. Its a smart move to keep the next generation of trolls at bay. With the lawless Internet and ANY age group hiding behind anonymity, I can understand why they are doing this. I think social networking has up'ed the ante.

Where does the liability start and stop? We all know that not everyone in is world can have self control. There are many cases of stalkers and bodily harm that occur through the Internet. Plenty of stories in japan and china about gangs over a stupid game. What's going to happen when the fire gets lit on the forums and a court case rears up? Is Blizzard ready to fight those battles? It opens a large hole of personal safety for people. I can tell you that i would not want my 13 yo daughter putting her real name on BNet, WoW, Facebook, or MySpace. Look at the point of view from the individual.
I'd like to hear [fry]'s pov on this about personal liability and sharing information with the public Internet.
