I'm against this technique. We are a gaming community, it is hard enough to know who you are roleplaying with and dealing with other people without having aliases and nicknames. Who cares what the real name of a person is or their account name. Is there really that big of a fear to know who is talking. Besides, since I run a game with many players, don't fool yourself into thinking that everyone of those "account" names haven't informed their friends on IM or other programs of who they are.

The real answer is in simply notifying the community in a help file that the who list is ooc just like a chat channel or ooc channel is ooc.
