Film some known stick stirrer, remove the name, post it for all to see and remove the name, and claim it's m00t, or Krusty, or whomever.

You must be kidding, Krusty. Are you saying you and the rest of the community couldn't figure out that names were not attached and the accusation would be suspect? As long as there is a choice to make the film available with or without names, what harm would it do?

I think it is a great idea, M00t, and I hope it gets implemented.

I've been dwelling on this one for over a week............

I am now totally in agreement.  +1

Forget about the silly people who will try to flame an innocent.  That'll happen regardless. 

It is great for training newbs though.  I don't want my newbs seeing names with ACM, I just want them to see ACM.  Newguy76 doesn't need to know m00t just shot me down because of my target fixation, I'd rather him just see that SA is darn important!!!

+1

Just the names and not the other data in the box with the names?  One of the most important training tools in a film is the actual speed and range associated with the aircraft in the "name" box.

I would think the easiest way to remove names would be to do away with that box but that would also do away with the most pertinent information in a film.  Detail.

Otherwise, Frap it up and make it a .wmv or something.

Absolutely. The other information should stay. All that was asked for was names.

Potentially useful feature.  Good idea.  I can't fathom why anyone would be against it.

I like the idea, but I still like to watch films where you can see what others are doing, and who they are and tactics that that person uses to fly.  And yes the occasional film where you catch someone that claims they never do something foolish, I think its fine the way it is for just that reason, you cant hide from Big Brother.

As the OP said, have it as an option. Leave it up to the poster to make his / her point in the way they want to.
