[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would not want to register. It would be too easy to figure who you and your kid/s are. I came across a few posts that I easily ID as someone on my kid’s team. I am glad they are not registered. If they want to ask about a new club, a coach, a question they are uncomfortable asking the coach, etc they deserve privacy. I know a few coaches from big clubs that read this board. One was pissed and was asking around about stuff that was posted here. If you want to register put your kids name, age, club and team in your user name because that’s what you will be doing. [/quote] And this is precisely why registered user forums work. The fear of someone finding out who you are keeps the conversations civil. We have far too many instances where kids and/or coaches are named here. If you afraid of being identified, perhaps you would think twice about posting that nasty rumor or less than constructive criticism.[/quote] Civil isn’t always honest though. The appeal of this site, for all the warts is it is pretty unfiltered. I prefer that over non-stop civility. Most people are civil and a few carry a grudge and that isn’t going to stop just because they logged in. Repeat to yourself “it’s just kids soccer” and you’ll be ok. And frankly, you are new here, the longer you’re around the quicker you can pick out the BS from the truth and the quicker you can pick out the rival grudges. And, yes, even the grudges carry truth and info on both sides. And lastly, SoCal and Big Soccer Forums are excellent sites for discussing more macro soccer things as well as generic tactical or developmental issues parents have. DCUM is extremely local focused and is more gossip based. It is a tabloid and that is its appeal. Everyone knows multiple people at different clubs so logging in would kill the exchange. [/quote]
