Since joining in 2010, I have never received an infraction as far as I know. I only post **** in the heat of the moment only in response to **** or terrible trolling etc but I immediately retract or at least tone down my statement.

I generally don't post or just post things that others haven't said in the thread. If something is already covered, no need to post. Since I end up posting the alternative views more often than not, most people don't really agree to it, which is fine.

Pipe down, it's over. I don't want to beef with you right now.

Honestly that news clears up a lot tbh; I was increasingly baffled by why his posting quality had just fallen off a cliff in the last two or three months.

Yeah it has been hinted around various threads and I guess Luffy and Sayon would know better. I just feel bad coz it felt like it was a nice little clique of next gen posters developing who can take CW further.


But I guess...

Yeah he did. Tbf though Hick absolutely meandered through the 80s and 90s in that knock against a background of England wanting to chase a win. I think Atherton absolutely did the right thing. It wasn’t as though he pulled the pin on him without giving the chance of getting to three figures

It was pretty mixed. As you say, we were setting up a declaration to go for a win, Hick had enough chances and chose not to go for it. I think the vast majority were with Athers.

Another good example was when Tudor was nightwatchman and ended up 99 not out in a chase, but I seem to remember he said to Thorpe not to worry about him and just hit the winning runs.

Did Thorpe at least know what score Tudor was on at the time (TGC viewers will understand this reference)

Can you please check your records? I am curious to find out. Because I honestly can't remember anything. I have received a warning or two within a thread. But infraction? Did infractions exist in 2011?

Yes they did. You have five infractions/warnings (I don't know if the old system carried over points correctly)
