To me, on the internet, I mostly recognize "people [I've] seen before" via the username. Most of the good internet villages I venture to, a username is secondary to me. I care about the content first, which can come from lots of people, and the users/faces/people second, which are mostly just the extremes of my (dis)favor.

I think mod tools are huge. I also think voting on content is big, though. Finding a village that aligns with my value of content is more important than recognizing specific people online.
