What is it about Cricketweb that puts people off taking part?

I think the natural prickliness of CW to anyone new whose beliefs seem a bit out there is pretty healthy.

This entire video is great but there is a segment timestamped from the 8:00 min mark about how forums are taken over by extremists which is very relevant:

this forum is VERY leniently moderated. I recently joined a Manchester United supporter's forum and to be able to post in the "main forum" you need to have multiple "liked" posts/threads (basically build up reputation) - to be honest it's put me off trying because I can't be arsed putting in loads of effort when all I want to do is let off some steam not do deep in game analysis but you get my point

I can't really say much about it. It's just that I saw the ban announcement thread and another thread about player comparison where I could see "banned" under an user's name where he really didn't come across as aggressive.

I’m on that forum and I think the “make 10 good posts” thing weeds out a lot of problem cases. It’s a much bigger forum than this one so it warrants more security and management due to the scale.

Additionally, the peaceful drafting community is allowed to flourish there, not corrupted by the CricketWeb mods who are in the pocket of the bad guys.
