What About Requiring Registration But Allowing People to Post Under Various Names?

I'm with Space Ghost. I barely ever come here any more. Too many HS kids with too much freedom of keyboard.

Would be interesting to see once registered, who clicks on the ad's and who spends $ with them.

The most likely scenario is that after 857 posts, wejo won't change a thing.

I'm all for it - as long as we can have "Throwback Thursdays", whereby anything goes, just like the bad ol' days. This way, all the high school losers have something to look forward to each week and the old-timers have a way of holding onto the past (the way LR used to be). Seriously though, I say do it. NOW!

Wejo,

have been reading this board/site relatively recently.

(I have been away on vacation for the clast couple of days so i've no idea what else is going on. Actually I even wanted to start a thread "what's been happening of notice? on vacation for a while... could be a feature for people who like letsrun but aren't fiendishly addicted... ANYWAY...)

Part of the board attraction is sifting through the trolling and finding the pearls. Sometimes, if you sift enough, the catch is quite plentiful.

But even a bad day of fishing can end-up being quite fun trolling wise.

The feeling is like the sort of back-and-forth during a group run. It's like people post here while their endorphines are still flowing. And agreed, sometimes the stuff written is borderline. The quality guys can always run ahead of the trolls if they feel like it. And you should still be able to figure out the really malicious types...

Still the best exercise is recognizing people not for their identity but for what they write. It's not that difficult to spot a fake, even a fake troll for that matter, and its great, damn great mind exercise... just the sort of corollary support activity a community of runners needs, to filter off post work-out excess endorphines...

Your board, i'll like it either way. How much can changing your board change you? Still if you moderate heavily with registration it will change. Your call.

If it aint broken why fix it?? Besides the ahold above me who completey disregards everything I have to say, the board is great the way it is, unless of course you are hearind complaints from people.

Um, above you is a Mountain Of Spam. Registration would fix that too.

Well, it WAS there. :)

Bingo

why didn't wejo come up with this idea already? What a silly goose.

oh, my! times are desperate when threads from 2007 are resurrected.

properly, it is "what a silly gander" goose is for females. ganders for males. maybe you mean a different type of "goose."

Goose

- the female of this bird, as distinguished from the male, or gander.

- Slang. a poke between the buttocks to startle.
