Not sure if this will help or hurt Google+ but it does look like the big G is trying to do something... anything... to curtail abusive comments.

When you comment on, or upload a video, YouTube will now urge you to “start using your full name on YouTube,” and ask if the video-sharing site can begin displaying the identity you’ve associated with your Google+ account (assuming you use Google’s social network). If you decline, Google makes you select a valid reason, like “My channel name is well-known,”)
