The individuals you are referring to should have a memory of everything that they posted. If it wasn't them, then it was their kids.
If things are posted continuously that are considered totally improper, obscene, racist, or if someone just generates too many complaining emails that we have to answer, the IP is banned by one of the moderators.

Unless pursued legally, there is never a name attached to an IP so its never something personal against anyone. Its the only way to keep people away who want to go overboard.

Criticism against posts is welcome, especially after posters try to tout their u10 player/team as the next ARod/Yankees, but some guys get way too out of hand. Bashing will never get anyone banned. All stories have 2 sides. Readers can usually decipher the truth.

Its done the same way on the soccer board, http://www.backofthenet.com They actually approve all posts before they appear and still have to ban some IP addresses after the fact.

Anonymous vs using a username doesn't matter, since anyone can make up a fake email address and make a username, even a 5th grader. The IP is the only window to the outside world, from in here.

The board is here to exchange information. 99 percent of the users have a good purpose in mind. The goal of most users is to to take the game to the next level, wherever that may be, for each kid.

BOTN sucks! They censor posts, and manipulate their message board to conform to their ignorant opinions and views! Hope CST is not affiliated with them or goes that way.
