Further, the user names changed and meanwhile look like real names, further illustrating my point. When you think about potential implications, this could become quite serious if it is malicious.
Nov 17, 2015 at 11:57	comment	added	Stefan Kohl Mod		@quid: At least in the last 10 days, from the post numbers I see no indication of a large number of deleted questions, and also there don't seem to be unusually many downvoted or closed questions such as to speak of an "attack". Or what do you refer to? -- Given what the moderators say, I would have thought it's something notably more serious.
Nov 17, 2015 at 11:32	comment	added	user9072		The question of restricted sign-up and real-names need to be used as display-names are quite orthogonal. On the "attacks." I cannot know if this is what is referred to but what I noticed happening was that numerous "new" users asked question to create what can be seen as some kind of flooding-attack (it was not "spam" only substandard question, but not very bad either). It seems to me requiring "real names" would have done nothing to prevent this. Restricted sign-up would, but this would need to be implemented, and the question is if one really wants to go that far.
