Hi Jon,

I would be interested in knowing how many people on the BB have been using aliases. Also what criteria is used to determine whether or not they can continue using an alias. It would be interesting to know how many members there are before and after the no-alias rule is put into effect, both in absolute numbers and also as an indication of how many people have been allowed to continue using aliases vs how many people have had to eliminate them.

I also think it would help to put an additional field in the profile that lets us say whether we only want private messages from within the BB or if we welcome outside private e-mails. That way, for those who do not want outside e-mails, if they get one from someone on the BB, it can be reported and be grounds for suspension. That would ensure that those of us who are fine with it can continue to get them and those of us who are not would not get them.
