    Any interest in a moderated, non-anonymous forum?

    As much fun as the name-calling is, what interest is there in a forum that is both moderated and requires user registration (to cut down on people responding anonymously to their own posts, etc)?

    Yes, even if it reduces the popularity

      Yes, this forum is a joke! There is an occasional bit of good information, but every thread is quickly ruined by morons.

        how about a subreddit? It's probably the easiest way and it's free. Nobody need to worry about the cost for hosting etc.

          who runs this site? wouldn't it just be easier to keep this infrastructure and require registration to post? usernames can still be anonymous and we can't be the only state in the US with morons for soccer parents

            This garbage site has existed for a long time -- and served as the main board for a number of states -- but the Washington section was dormant until fairly recently because there was a perfectly decent Washington-specific board that had a moderator and required usernames. Unfortunately, the prior site disappeared.

            The socal board (which is moderated and requires uesernames) has state-specific sections for norcal and texas, so is now basically a socal/norcal/texas board. One easy fix would be to start a Washington chat there.

              And I should note: Even though it is "moderated" and everyone has a user name, doesn't mean it's not full of garbage. Moderation there is very light--it gets rid of spammers and such--but users trashing other clubs, slandering other coaches, badmouthing kids, and occasionally threatening to kick another poster's *****, are all common on socal soccer.

              It's not "moderated" in the sense that posts require prior approval. Plus it's pseudonymous, not anonymous; not sure they take any measures to prevent users from registering multiple accounts.
