This forum going downhill

[slippy888]

fast how is it possible to get a infraction for posting a Imaid Wasim thread, maybe i spelt his name wrong big deal and i also get banned for 1 month last month for posting a thread about Australia's golden boy Mathew Elliot, while other forum members post silly threads like Don Bradman vs Sreesanth and they get the red carpet treatment, looks like i am done posting on this forum.

Did they literally tell you not to post an Imad Wasim thread?

Dear slippy888,

You have received a warning at Cricket Web Forum.

Reason:
-------
General warning

If you want to continue posting on the CW forum, you'll need to cut out the spam threads such as "Imaid Wasim". We've warned and infracted you so many times about this and if it continues you will face a longer ban.
-------

Warnings serve as a reminder to you of the forum's rules, which you are expected to understand and follow.

All the best,
Cricket Web Forum

My advice is not to post when you're high. As you appear to be.

 

[slippy888]

It was a genuine spelling mistake

I have no problem with slippy's shot in the dark threads. If no one cares about the subject matter then it slips off the front page and no one was harmed.

It's certainly less repetitive to bring up random 90s player #237 for a nostalgia shot than post your 18th iteration of 'here is my all time xi' with all the usual suspects selected.

Yeah

My diagnosis: A rather nasty fall...caused by bad babysittting! Bad moderating.

Careful slippy, some idiot might infract you for discussing infractions. However, some might just think you are a multi who cannot be proven as such and are looking for small slip ups to infract you.

Just posting in this thread is infractable I'd wager

You are so screwed.

Getting banned for a month is incredibly harsh. Maybe limit the threads to one every few days, but I really don't feel there's anything wrong with posting them. It's a cricket forum. Poor moderating.

Obviously this forum is moderated by noted downhill skier Steve Smith. </Blocky>

Of course, you could have contacted us and explained why you thought ignoring about three separate requests to stop was okay and why those threads were okay like a mature person would do, or you could complain publicly in Cricket Chat instead.

Instructions still apply ftr. Posts that could just go in an ordinary tour thread or some other normal thread like everyone else does do not need their own thread, if everyone followed your example then no one would be able to read anything.
