If he's being a twat, sure.
Otherwise, might as well just leave him be.
I dont think you should until he says something stupid like "Everyone is Matt".
All nonces should be outed and publicly shamed as soon as they are identified. Thanks.
It is, IMO, unethical to reveal an anon poster. However, some posters (I'm thinking Syntax, Matt, Iceland Guy, etc) have such distinctive text voices and posting patterns that it's pointless for them to post anon in the first place. So in the case of indentifying Matt, it's a technical violation of the rules but not a real infraction.
Frankly I think every namefag anon should be fair game when they're being an assclown.
Matt is not a pedophile. Only one poster here is a verified child rapist, and that is Leo Vegas.
I don't see a problem with it, but everyone who has been here for any length of time already knows it's Matt. So revealing some anon poster as Matt may not seem like any big deal for a lot of us. Like Meta said, some posters just have really distinctive text voices/topics/posting patterns, and give themselves away no matter how "anon" they think they they're being.
Assume I'm not using mod tools to identify him. I'm just reacting to the obvious Matt posts.

Generally the onus is on the namefag to hide their text-voice. This isn't difficult to do, I've done this on Scatchan and /cow/ successfully. There is, for the record, 0% accuracy in identifying phagposts, except on Tinychan, where the admins assist users in cheating this anyway.
I think why the fuck not because I'm an asshole and that's how sites like this work. You fuck up, you get fucked with. I sort of give a fuck, but for me personally.. I can't even remember the topics I make. I think those with a distinctive text voice will always be noticed by those who recognize. Maybe calling out their real name when they're posting anon should be limited to just calling them out with a known handle instead? Don't know, don't care.
