We could allow Chess Scotland members to post under initials or pseudonyms, but require non-members to post under a usual form of their name.
The right to post initially or pseudonymically then becomes a benefit of membership. It may not be enough to persuade many non-members to join CS, but it's a small safeguard against misuse of the noticeboard.
I don't think there is anything wishy-washy about being a liberal...but I suspect you knew that.
I thought this was a good idea when I saw it last night. I'm not sure it is entirely appropriate, but the phrase that came to mind was "iacta alea est".
Thank you for your, and others', support.
