We trust that you see things the same way and would rather use a network in which people use their real names. We can’t, of course, force anyone to share this viewpoint. We do not delete profiles simply because someone is using a made-up name, but we appeal to everyone to use their proper name.
Because:
Imagine that an old school friend or more recent work colleague wants to get in touch with you. He or she will only be able to find you if you have used your real name.
Many meinVZ or studiVZ users have 50, or even 100 friends. After a while, it’s difficult to keep track of everyone unless they have their real names.
On meinVZ you can meet real people who want to communicate with each other openly. As in real life, this communication requires that people know who they are speaking with and who is writing to them.
meinVZ offers you a range of options to decide exactly who can see what. [privacy settings]
