Its pretty obvious why. Ill give you an example. 

Random user - "I fucking hate that ps3-sales! What a troll!"

This would piss you off and likely cause un-needed confrontation in the thread. Not naming people just really lowers the chances of things like this happening. Its a good thing to have for a thread like this, where users can essentially rant abut what pisses them off about other users.



                            

Being called a fanboy or troll for asking an honest question without hating on any company.
People who take your opinion to heart and troll you, copy you by creating a similar nickname or have a certain group gang up on you because your opinion isn't something they can argue against so they'd rather try to get you banned.

I've been on many sites talking about games since 2005. I started on Gamepro with the name VoiceofReason and left because I had about 10 people copy my name and try to post as me to invalidate any cred I had simply because I don't argue with opinion. If I don't like something I back it up with facts. I recently got banned from another site because I posted a list of PCs that were superior to the PS4 and a group of Sony fans who couldn't argue against it rated all my posts as Spam til I was banned. Couldn't do it legit so had to shut me up the only way they could. Things like that don't stop me though. they only make me feel better about what I am posting and it must be true because the only way they can counter me is cheat to get rid of me



Dislike people that come here to shit on another company and not much else (get a fucking life)

Dislike spammers and those that know jack shit about sales yet have thousands of posts about completely irrelevant shit.

Love Nintendo optimists (fantastic debates with them that I always win)

It's hilarious though that you can throw around words/phrases like 'I hate spammers' and everyone here knows exactly who is being talked about ;)

Nothing important about it whatsoever, we all debate here, isn't the reason to put your point across and come out on top?!

Moreso, a few Nintendo fans have had ridiculous unrealistic goals and chastise you when you say 'Not gonna happen' then when it does you're redeemed.
