Digression-- why is it 2021 and I'm reading a 1990s-style forum that has no automated way to authenticate the "JumpCrisscross" identity?

There might be something to having an option for an authenticated identity, to a reasonable degree of certainty. Maybe charge a fee for a special badge to cover the extra administrative hassle?

What kind of authentication of a user do you have in mind ?

Further, in what manner is 'jancsika' authenticated, to anyone, and why do you consider that negative ?

Anonymity is for people who influence our laws, not for people subject to them.
