I remember one quite well the day before someone bought a cat for 6K and the next day had it in another auction with a starting bid of 30K.
Indeed!! Having the names in the pedigree info is helpful when trying to catch unscrupulous re-sellers, people with alts that grab auction panels for themselves, etc.
Also, on several occasions I've gone back in a pedigree to see who had a grandparent or whatever to ask them more information about the cat's hidden traits, and that has helped me determine what my cat might be passing. My breeding projects would be severely hindered if I couldn't get this information.
I understand the privacy issue, but this is SL, there's NO privacy anywhere LOL It's only your avatar name anyway; it's not your real name or your IP address or anything.
Actually My avatar name is very similar to my Real name. Just a few discrepancies here and there.
