You think that someone who would hold gaming against a candidate really cares how much time you played? When someone does a background check or even just googles you, they aren't looking for reasons to hire you, they're looking for reason NOT to hire you. If they see your 2000 word rant about how a class got nerfed, you think they are going to say "well he's just passionate about his hobby"?

I'm all for people being able to use their Real Names to establish a little credibility, but forcing someone to do so is going to make things worse, not better, because the trolls probably don't have much to lose, while normal, sane people that give forums like this their modicum of value, will be silent.
