Certainly a registration procedure like that would put me off
Stomp. I may not post racist/bigoted postings, but I certainly do
not want unwanted people getting hold of my contact details and
personal particulars.
If they're so scared of inflammatory postings being put up, then
isn't there such a thing called responsible forum moderating? Don't
tell me that Stomp's moderators aren't vigilant enough to monitor
such postings closely and put an end to them if need be.
Give me good ol' sgforums anytime.
