Perhaps a system like this will discourage the kinds of posts that only come out when one is anonymous...

This board already deletes "negative" posts. The last thing...

It's not a rule. Just common sense.

You must not visit sports boards much.

The righteousness of CB: You can rip a poster under a pseudonym but not a player

Some sports boards DO require a real name - not this one.

I'm aware of that, and I'm not advocating for that kind of change

Bingo.

They are OPINIONS. That is what this board is for.

No one's saying you can't have an opinion.
