The problem is for all the people who are not prominent enough, but get nuked anyway.
When people get special treatment because they are prominent, have a reputation, or have a posse, that's a problem. Often the problem is that the special treatment should not be special, but should be the usual case.
I have at least four friends on G+ with this problem... which makes me suspect that the name/identity/pseudo problem is not merely a few special cases, but is in fact widespread.
Pull the other one. Its a deliberate feature not a bug. Its to try and detect the use of pseudonyms (and fake profiles) and force people to use real identities.
I 100% will not support another platform which does this. Its to important to the arts not to have pseudonyms.
