Ban announcements

[Lillian Thomson]

He's not interested in coming back, which is a great shame IMO, but then I don't know what he was banned for and for how long so I may have spoken out of turn in inviting him

I think it was for suggesting that Richard Hadlee was good enough to bat at Number 4 in Tests.

I shall view him in a different light now!

I've never been banned from a forum but if I was I certainly wouldn't return.

I held the same opinion not that long ago. However I realise now the moderators are only human and can make mistakes (from the perspective of some one). As long as they are trying to do a fair job, giving it their best, it is no use to hold malice.

Would like a locked ban announcement thread. Part of the point of a ban must surely be to encourage proper behaviour in others, which announcing the general reason why someone was banned would help, and to provide some visibility that it isn't the law of the jungle on here and hence reducing the amount of retaliation.

It depends what importance you place on an Internet Forum. To me it's something to do in my leisure time. I don't intend spending it looking over my shoulder or over analysing everything I write. If I was banned from any forum I wouldn't bother with it again, but not out of malice, I just couldn't give a monkey's..

Forums have feelings too y'know!

I bet you wouldn't return to any forum from which you'd been banned.........................

Very interesting. I don't place importance to the CW forum I used to place. I realise it is just another online forum, bloody good though it is. I wouldn't take snide remarks from members or a decision to ban me personally. The online fellow cricket fans are not the real significant people in my life, my family and close friends are. If they say some thing personal, it should hurt, not some radom guy on the internet. A decision to ban from an internet forum shouldn't be taken personally as well. It is really silly to cry over some thing like it (like it occured with me) and shows you are giving it far too much importance.

If a forum gives be joy and has fair moderation team (CW has a great one), quality members (mostly) and quality discussionon my area of interest (another great aspect of cw, I would still be a part of it. It is EXACTLY because I don't give that level of importance to it for which you say you wouldn't bother returning to the forum.

All should come with fifty page judgments in the vein of the High Court IMO.

Orthdox J: I have read the judgment of my learned friend Wright J, and I agree.

One of the great joys of the law is the compelling dissent...

Cribb to dissent.

Edit: beaten by a ****. Oh the shame.

 

[Burgey]

Beaten by a half cut **** posting on a Blackberry from halfway through dessert too.

I would be ashamed as well..

GIMH banned now? What's that all about?

His posts at Sir Alex, and overt Englishness.

3 days.

 

[pasag]

Support the banning of all Englishmen until a month after the whitewash ftr.

Can't see a whitewash, myself. Watson will go on or Hussey will make a score at some point. If we can alomst jizz up chasing 213, we'll come badly unstuck chasing anything approaching 300.

Anyway, Corrin's ban a tad harsh to my way of thinking. Admitedly I am biased, but SA did seem to be willfully trolling.

Yep, some rather unacceptable & disappointing posts/behavior towards a couple of members.

 

[morgieb]

How long's Sir Alex banned for?

Surprised Corrin got the arse. Admittely is biased, but he's good value.

Haha, I think it's just that anyone else would have got banned for some of the stuff Corrin posted and the mods are trying to be even-handed in spite of the fact that we all love him.
