I don't mean this in a bad way, but let's be honest; When a moderator tells someone "we know who you are because of your IP address", it scares some people away. People like to hide behind their keyboard and that's just how it is. As long as it's not vicious personal attacks, maybe a little more latitude would help.
Just one person's opinion.
I will try to do a better job with this. I was incredibly annoyed with the Radball thing as misrepresenting oneself like that much just bothers me, especially when it is such a blatant lie. I obviously sign my name off on everything I say here, so I just took issue with a person who came on here specifically to lie to try to build credibility.
Before the Radball incident, I think the last time I brought this up was when I was a freshman in college, and a kid from Jamestown posted something to the effect that I was in a relationship with Erron Collins, who was on my Flight Boyz team at that time, and was a freshman in high school. I am incredibly close with the Collins family. I dated Ali in the past and she now works for me, and I played for Eddie in college, and also coached Erron for 3 years, so I am sure you can imagine my issue with a person taking a shot at a freshman in high school when I have a close relationship to the player and that family. I was also unhappy with an individual trying to come on a message board and insinuate that I was in a relationship with a player, and told that poster that I knew exactly who he was and would sue him for libel if he ever posted on this site again. As I run a basketball program featuring boys and girls ranging in ages from 12 to 18, I am sure you can see why I would have no issue suing someone for a comment like that.
Other times I may have brought this up would include times where a poster comes on this website and says that so and so got a minor, or so and so got caught smoking weed, when there is no truth to the rumor.
Since my global announcement, we have not had issues regarding individuals spouting off about potential illegal activity on this website.
