"Real" (heh) names don't improve comment quality. What improves comment quality is moderation (approve/decline/delete), enabled by default for every single user.
I moderate when I answer the door, who I answer the phone for, who I hang out with, and which mail I open. Who wouldn't moderate their YouTube comments? Sheesh.
Yes, it can be abused. To prevent "damage to the community", users who misuse the moderation system by deleting too many comments, declining only specific users, or declining polite (negative) comments, can be flagged as moderation abusers.
