Ushadi I can really understand your love for the group, and concern that members (especially new ones) become more disciplined and provide information as per the format. Although it is often difficult to resist the temptation of providing Id if you know the name, but perhaps the things will improve if experts tell the concerned member to provide details before (or at least after) identification. This only will compel members (who as you wrote who take things for granted) to provide necessary details.
