For one thing, in order to post on the WoW forums you must have an ACTIVE WoW account. Having a Battle.Net account is NOT good enough. Neither is having a cancelled WoW account associated with your Battle.Net account. (I don't know about trial accounts though... but the way battle.net works you would probably have to constantly open a new Battle.Net account and initiate the trial process each time, I think, to pull that off. Plus they will probably ban trial accounts from forum use if that gets abused... they may have done that already though.) So anyone planning to create a fake Battle.Net account to work around this system may find it's not as easy as they thought... but time will tell with that too. If it IS that easy, it just means most hacker, scammers and trolls will be posting on fake accounts, which completely undermines Blizzards efforts on this front in the first place.

Can't wait to see all the accounts get killed only to open up bogus accounts with fake names! YAY! Preach it brother, this is the worst thing ever.
