Posting some ones real name in a forum is just asking for trouble. I'm pretty sure you will be able to find out where some one lives nowadays with just their name. Heck check out this webpage, http://www.123people.com. The reason why people create nick names is to keep their identity anonymous so that freaks on the internet can not stalk them or find out where they live (Yes some people are so stupid on the internet that they can accidentally release important information about themselves OR others). I can see something serious happening from this and i hope that Blizzard changes their mind before they implement this.
If they are planning to cut down on trolling and offensive behaviour then they should do what Aegis posted, which is actively, immedietly, and openly punish those who cause problems. Suspend them from the forum (and display for how long). Also allow people to flag forums or posts so that moderators can respond quicker to offensive behaviour.
