While we are making a wish list, it would be nice to know who the team is that is legislating the site and what their role is. It's very strange to have an online business that has no written address, even a P.O. Box for written correspondence. This is important especially if an athlete or poster is defamed and there's no place to send a cease-and-desist order. I can look up Nissin Foods, the producer of my favorite ramen noodles and find out who the executives are and their roles. We're literally floundering on this site for real resolution or real solutions to problems that might arise because we have what is touted as a complete source but with no real answers:
Where is letsrun.com operated?
Where is its business license?
Where do people go if they have a BBB complaint against letsrun.com
Is there a board?
If so, who is on the board?
Most businesses disclose this.
I may be the squeaky wheel but good... I'm a strong wheel and I'll ask for answers for others who would not.
So..we want answers.
We give our phone number and email. There are 5 of us. You can call us directly and leave a message
Who are the 5? I figure wejo, rojo, gault and Soprano. Who is the 5th?
I wish your team had more diversity of backgrounds, identities, and perspectives. It would be nice to get takes from someone who isn’t a white man. Some ways to implement this idea would be to recruit a diverse group of interns, invite guest columns from well-known past and present runners, and have guests on your podcast.

Why do their demographics matter? In fact, letsrun's staff is immigrants at a higher rate than the US population.
Better coverage and recognition of field events, please. Awarding your AOY to Kiptum over Crouser was objectively indefensible, and then your awards article that purported to “revisit the wacky and wonderful from 2023 in track & field” failed to include any mention of field athletes.
Is LTC incorporated? And if so, is it an LLC or S-Corp. If it is, then there would be a state filing of it. If it is a dba, then it would have had to be published for a minimum of 2 weeks in most states plus a fictitious business statement would be filed with the state.
The items would tell the following:
the ownership structure
the principals
and address where to take service if sued
also we would know if the entity is in good standing or in violation
Any sleuths up to the task before the mods/Brojos delete this?
For the younger audience on the Friday 15 - a short discussion (5-10 mins) on controversial older runners ie kiprop, East Germans, Chinese record holders.

Same as what i said i would like to see last year....a better message board search engine. There is so much good infomation on the boards that is difficult to retrieve.
For each registered user, it would be cool if their “profile” contained their lifetime comments ratings. So you could click on any registered user’s handle and see a running count of how many upvotes and downvotes they’ve gotten along with their favorability score. For example, if someone has received a total of 3,000 upvotes and 1,000 downvotes in all their years of posting, their favorability score would be 75.0%.
This would only be useful if there was a way to quantify the objectivity of the voters. Hamas would get more up votes than down votes on most college campuses. That doesn't mean Hamas is worth listening to.
This right here is exactly what we mean when someone hijacks a post and inputs their complete unprovoked biased bigoted remarks that have nothing to do with the original post. He knows if that happens his favorability score would be 10%.
I would suggest making everyone register with their real names and keep the posts to running, track & field and things that touch the sport.
