I and my family luv softball and I have officiated a good bit on and off, Im just too old to bother with any more poorly moderated forums with a bunch of child-like members.
Dont get me wrong, I enjoy a good joust and after reading some of the posts, it sounds like yall have some fun, too.
Thanks for honest replies.

Well, welcome to the forum.
I think you will like it here most of the time.

The board itself is rather lightly moderated;


But here on the softball side, were pretty well behaved as a general rule.

We do get a few drive-by trolls from time to time, but fortunately, they have been rather short-lived on the site.

We have a number of good-natured (but sometimes intense, or even borderline emotional) "fueds" going (and I use the word "fued" very lightly): slowpitch v fastpitch; ASA v NFHS; etc., but they are generally friendly and even when done with intensity, the underlying respect shows.

As you can tell from some of our more recent threads, we are not above lively disagreement on rules, mechanices, and even the English language, sometimes.

Don't be afraid to jump into the water.
