Real People, Real Names
Professionalism, trust, and community all emerge when real people are involved, standing behind their work. Using your real name substantiates your commitment to transparency and allows others to better collaborate with you. It also creates a greater investment in your work.
Is a person more likely to join a community online if they see that there are real people involved? Are they less likely to participate in an online community with characters like RedDog88, Snivelcritter, etc?
Using a real name, however, is not a requirement for participation -- look around, get your bearings, and once you come to know the vibrant, considerate community at AboutUs, make the switch.
You'll see many of our community members making posts, edits and suggestion using their real names. We encourage you to do the same.
