Quick question.
Has the policy changed to not showing the user name of potential culprits here?
If not; @CommRLock78, please show the user name in your tags, as it makes it easier to see what has already been taken care of and saves us from clicking on the link in every post.

It seems that opinions differ on this topic. I was posting the name, as is, but I had been told to be careful about potential clean users and to use rot13. As I'm in the US and a regular, I feel like I'm in good position to help report, especially in the wee hours of the morning in Europe, but, I definitely want to do it right. Looking back through the past few pages, it looks like the opinion is to indeed include the username, and use rot13 if there are any doubts.
Do please correct me if I'm wrong, cheers :D.
