I actually think that the use of sensible nicknames can work, as long as there is a section within the individual’s public profile where a real name can be added.

To play devils advocate, if a message board were to insist on the use of real names when members join, who can be sure that the individual uses their real name? It would just be as easy for me to have joined using Richard Smith, but does that make the questions or answers I post any more relevant than if I were to use my real name?
