How do other people feel about bogus names? I could add a statement in the group description along the lines suggested by Manu.
Someone can just make up a name and I cannot check on everyone. However, I could deny posting privileges to any obviously fake name and then for names that seem possibly real, I could let them go unless somebody emails me letting me know the name is fake. This will not be perfect but will go a long way towards responding to Oliver's concerns.
