It is true that a person can still enter a fake name after certifying he has read the instruction, and the computer would never know, but we would.

Yes, but the rules of registration also clearly state that everyone is allowed to sign in to the forum with any moniker they so choose, as others are already doing and obviously have been doing for quite some time. Beetleguese was told he was supposed to ONLY use his name on the forum. Not true. There's no need for anyone to call someone out for using a handle they probably use on a dozen other internet forums. After 15 years it becomes habit. If it matters to anyone, I prefer to use a moniker on internet forums for security reasons.
One interesting thing is that the registration gatekeeper here actually IS a real person, not a computer that doesn't know the difference between a real person and John Doe. I think that obviously helps to keep this forum cleaner than many others.
Good shooting - Will
