As long as a user doesn't claim to be "somebody" we should respect the right to their anonymity. Users shouldn't feel pressured to identify themselves until they claim they own a website, business, or are a "known" person.

Anonymity is also good for anti-censorship. There are those from countries that could be arrested and/or persecuted based on their public opinions.

Anonymity also has its drawbacks. Users should evaluate a person's truthfulness and sincerity based on their previous posts. It takes time to build trust.

If someone like @dantheman or @stellabelle writes a post giving away something they are "known" and have a reputation here and outside of Steemit.

If @unkownuser writes their first post tomorrow promising to give away 100 SBD or claiming that they live in Venezuela and are in desperate need of money it should be met with some skepticism.

@unknownuser should still be entitled to remain anonymous, they shouldn't be badgered into "verifying" themselves. At the same time users should be aware that they need to use their own judgment before giving away upvotes or donating SBD.

Edit: Try to avoid using #introduceyourself as a tag. I really hope we get bio pages on this platform. The #introduceyourself tag is becoming filled with posts that don't contain actual information about a person. Thanks!
