It seems like a freedom-reducing measure to me, tbh.
And if it's meant to counter controversial namefags on here that bring baggage to every topic they enter, its usefulness is going to be very limited. Most of the notorious ones, like Matt or Syntax or Bert, are immediately identifable by text voice alone anyway. Plus, you'll likely get people further disrupting topics by guessing what namefags different anons might be.
IMO, a more non-intrusive way to cut out pointless namefag wanking drama is to just mark your topic as serious, and ask for moderator intervetion if it gets hijacked. The mods will generally help out in those situations.

Is bert considered a thread derailer here? I barely see him post...
