Yep, that's exactly what the sticky posted by gman44 at the top of this forum says. That may have been posted as a result of my complaint that nobody was masking names anymore after the big shutdown and all the changes took place and all the stickies with guidelines went away. And yet, I've seen reviews where the name wasn't masked and a Mod edited the name in the header but left the name in ROS unmasked. So even the Mods aren't consistent. I wouldn't bet much money that if the OP gives the full name that he wouldn't be chastised for it even though I can see no harm in it.
Back before the big shutdown Bushaholic was a Mod who mostly monitored the SC forum. He was also a big SC guy himself and understood the situation and the reasoning. The rationale was that connecting a name with extras could get a girl fired if management happened to read the review, so the masking was intended to give her some plausible deniability. No extras, no risk for the girl and no need to mask the name. He had a sticky that gave clear guidelines for name masking and also for what extras qualified for PA, as well as guidelines for how to write a review. But those were the old days and they are long gone.
