To be sure, I only searched for "braham".

Try the Cyrillic "а" instead.

It looks identical, but isn't the same at all.

That would just incentivize people to play on separate accounts.

The incentive is so tiny, I would have to ask who would for that reason..

Probably precisely those whom you'd like to see. :)

But perhaps I should have put that as "further incentivize", rather, as many are already thus incentivized thanks to password brute-forcers and whatnot.

If your forum account gets compromised, your gaming account is still safe.

If you want a forum with users who have some form of identifiable prestige or notoriety, I think you are looking for a gay little karma system or something.

Linking skulls to your forum name sounds weird and the way you claim it could be implemented is even weirder.

Bit of an account security risk for very little benefit

Couldn't you simply have your forum/in game name be different than your account ID that you sign in with?

Like use your e-mail or some such? Obviously it wouldn't stop people from using different accounts for the forums and in game, but it would address the security issue.
