I agree with you that the policy is not ideal. However, it was designed to
address a situation that is also not ideal.

At the beginning of the year, CCC was under constant "attack" by people with
fake names. Trying to keep these people at bay was a full time proposition, and
one way the abuse was curbed was to require real names and locations from
people. I believe the policy has had a positive net effect on CCC.

You started your account before we instated the policy, so you do not have to
provide your real name or location to anybody. I hope this "solution" is good
enough for you.
