"Thus the new breed of super trolls are born"; a possible headline I can image if this idea ever went through.
Do you know how difficult this would make the moderators job? Lets just say someone strikes the forums with a link to a shock site. The poster could simply delete the post / thread before it gets noticed by the mods. In the time period that post / thread was up, countless amounts of users could have been affected; and with the lack of evidence on the moderators behalf, there's not much they could really do.
Another thing, with Facebook you have the option to choose the people you want to be friends with (the people you want to see), on Bnet you get no such choice. Having this "friend network" pretty much stops the problem all together; in a way, you can pretty much moderate yourself (friend removal). Yet on a site like Bnet, having this "you can only see accepted users posts" idea wouldn't work well, especially in establishing a community. In that sense OP, not a good comparison.
Also, on facebook you can actually see someones identity. IRL most people actually care about their reputation.
Good point. Idk guys, it was just a question. And obviously we (or I) have our(or my) answer.
