[WoW] The dumb continues

No source for this yet, but apparently, Blues (Community Managers) won't have their full names listed with their posts under this new plan.

.... because harassing/stalking employees of Blizzard is bad, mmmmkay? (With the attendant "But fuck you paying customers. There's tons of you.")

Edit: Okay, turns out to be wrong. Blues will have their names listed. It's still a fucking stupid plan, though.

*nod* It's so fucking stupid though. I mean, if Blizzard employees need to see our full names on our posts, well, that's one thing. Broadcasting them for anyone and everyone, including people who don't even pay Blizzard for anything is asinine though. (And, I suspect, falls foul of Canadian and UK Laws.)

And their stated reason for doing this (to cut down on trolling) is complete and utter bullshit. Trolls won't give a fuck if someone knows their real name.
