>I don't intend to rank up
Then you won't get uploading privileges. Being restricted to public avatars is far less fun, IMHO. Though I guess the experience, at least as you intend it, is going to be short anyways, so maybe it wouldn't matter.

> Is there a way around revealing your ID, or would you have to keep making new accounts
Anyone can see anyone's real ID. You would have to make a new account for each meetup to gain a new real ID.

>I think either way that part about respecting privacy during these events is important, even if you can see the ID.
That does not compute with your last paragraph. Someone who might get upset with someone else to the point that "dramafagging" might occur is not going to "respect [that person's] privacy", which is a lower bar than resorting to "dramafagging".
