Yea, i actually really seem to not having it written probably.

Let me explain short: the data is not available to everyone, you are still being displayed via a nickname. The thing is that the registration requires your data, which is then available to the admins. Due to the running cost, there could be a better focus on reports and, especially, banning "toxic people". And when someone is banned, they can not simply register a second time because they would need a new set of data to register (the old one, of course, would be blocked along with the account), which would make things a ton harder for those people. As of now, someone who gets banned just makes a second account and he can keep on his doings.
