YouTube Fights Horrible Commenters by Naming Names | WIRED

Summary:

YOUTUBE IS PUSHING its notorious commenters to name themselves. When you comment on, or upload a video, YouTube will now urge you to "start using your full name on YouTube," and ask if the video-sharing site can begin displaying the identity you've associated with your Google+ account (assuming you use Google's social network). If you decline, Google makes you select a valid reason, like "My channel name is well-known," as BetaBeat noticed this morning. (Google didn't mention that wrinkle when it announced it would be rolling out this option.)
