I don't think it is dividing the board.
Anyone WITH a trusted cert can post on any of the other forums - they can choose to post anonymously, as a registered user, or as an authenticated
user.
In my opinion it would add to the board - because it makes people be accountable for what they are saying - because they're putting their name behind
it. It enables people to put credence behind their posts, because they're putting a REAL name to a message - personalizing it - saying this is ME and
my encounter (or situation, visitation, experience) happened to ME and this is who I am. For those don't wish to do that, very well - you don't have
to.
You also might say as a counter that someone can already do that. Yes, you would be correct - but what is to say that person really is who he says he
is? Trusted Certs are a good way to do that
That certain individual could also pose as someone else - trusted certs solve this issue.
Again, as for dividing the board - it isn't division at all, but unity on a personal basis, for those who wish to participate.
EDIT for grammar corrections.
