Cricket Web Posters Union

[Jamee999]

As outlined in this post by NZTailender, I believe that it would benefit all if a Posters Union was formed, to express the views of the posters of Cricket Web.

This thread has been made to discuss this idea. Please do not apply to be a representative of the Union in this thread.

Gimps United.

One of these days we'll form a union, and get the fair and equitable treatment we deserve! Then we'll go too far, and become corrupt and shiftless, and the Japanese will eat us alive!

I think its a great idea if it was to be handled in a mature manner.

Agreed. The Union would have to be impartial - any vendettas or personal agendas would, simply, not be tolerated.

Kudos to you Pickup.

Solid idea. The only change I'd make to Thomas's idea would be to change "non-staff" to "non-moderator". Simple reason is that most staff members are people who write for the front page, and not mods who have a say in forum issues.

Hell, look at Bennett. Is there any bigger troublemaker on CW? I'd say not.

Number one out of 18,068?

I'd be looking at no global mods myself.

Very good idea. Would eliminate our versions of stupid Hair-Pakistan controversies.

Sounds like a decent idea, it's just that it'd be difficult to represent everyone's ideas, and secondly, am not entirely sure that it's needed, as it could just create a kind of 'us and them' mentality, even though the mods are just regular posters, but with cooler powers.

I think that if The Union is created, it should work with the mods but with an objective point of view, if that makes sense.

I can't really speak for Cricket Chat, but that's definitely not the case in Off Topic with the exception of McNamara and Camps. James, Pete, and Neil aren't really part of the Off Topic 'clique' so to speak. I think the latter three are a little out of touch, which is demonstrated by the fact I see them closing more threads and reporting more posts that are of a trivial nature than Jack and Liam.


Sweeping generalisation, I know, but there's a fair bit of truth behind it I think.

Yes, this should be the underlying objective of it.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

I like this idea, a lot.

 

[steds]

I don't agree with the word "union".

In aid of making the world a fairer place, examples would help me.
