That's cool. Does that mean that I'm not allowed to post anylinks? did bring over a good twenty or so members to your rather good fantasy league....
Doesn't really matter as we're only a small non commercial forum with no aspirations of global domination.
Will abide by your rules as I've no desire to annoy ... unnecesarily

We only did at one point too.
Now we have realistic aspirations to conquer all other cricket sites.
There are two posters on these forums who are active and known administrators at PlanetCricket. Certainly wouldn't be chastised for posting so much as a single link, I'd not imagine, but I'd wait for the boss' absolute confirmation.

What the general rule is, is not blatantly advertising your website. What other members do with sites they run/work with is add a link inside their forum signature. That's allowed and we don't have a problem with it, unless you put it in like size 200 font
Hope that clears things up. Feel free to respond if you want to seek classification.

Thanks for the welcome chaps, as I said, I was just browsing this place and thought I would share my experiences on moderator recruitment having been through the process recently. I'm sure any new mods here will have fewer problems than we had as we made a bit of a rod for our backs in promising to be "democratic" when we set up. We initially set up when a bunch of idiots from F365 "invaded" cricket365 and, as there was no mederation completely spammed the site. We quite liked the freedom of no moderation but wanted to be spam free so try to run this policy as best we can (sometimes rather difficult). We've no chance of even remotely getting near the size of this place and I'm not sure we'd like to (although we could always do with 1 or 2 more). It's quite nice to have a quiet site as I sometimes got bogged down kin the more rapid fire sites (used to post on PR but it just got too busy for me to keep up). This site seems to have a nice balance and I will keep posting here as well as elsewhere. For the record my one and only mention of our site is that it is cricketfansforum.net (I am "fletch" on there but you seem to already have one here). Sorry for spamming your mod recruitment thread with my introduction, please feel free to delete it if it's inappropriate.
Hope to get to know some of you a bit better.

If someone actually asks for the link as Turb did, I see naught wrong with you answering the question. If you went around splashing it around for no reason it'd be different, but he did ask.

Yeah, I'm sure lots of members here are members of planetcricket as well without a lot of posts - much more than three I'm guessing. I'm a member myself, simply because I downloaded a few patches from there for various computer games and wanted to comment on them.

Haha, it's not spamming to post the odd thing that doesn't relate to the title of the thread, even in the SD forum!
Posts are only ever deleted if they're outright offensive or a complete and total waste of bandwidth (such as "I want the last post in this thread").

As Prince said, there are a few who post on both. I've seen Langeveldt, kweek, pinchy, Prince EWS, gambino, and some others on PC on numerous occasions. Rodgie posts in our BT forum now and then. Of course, the late Fardin was also a regular poster. Even won the "most improved member" award.
BTW, I'm not Admin.

Why would he be? He's only got posts in the single digits tbh. As I said only posts in the BT forum, and even that just occasionally.Haha, R0dgie's not banned from PC?

If I got a six month ban from cricketweb, I'd probably become a regular at planetcricket so I'm shocked Rodgie hasn't. Then again, I just wouldn't get myself banned in the first place so it's redundant.

Why would he be? Because he's a lad who knows how to get himself into trouble. My surprise was not at you not banning him but not needing to.

It's not hard to stay unbanned. I'm sure I'll manage.Chickens.

Just as a point of interest (and back on topic as the discussion does relate to moderation), what sort of offence would you consider "banworthy"? Do your sites routinely give out warnings first? We're far too lenient in my view but was wondering where other people set the boundaries.

We'd probably describe ourselves as fairly lenient. It's pretty much a case by case situation; depending on the record of the member involved, severity of offence (things like posting porn usually result in an instant ban), and other factors. We have a separate forum for moderators to discuss things, and determine punishments, etc.
We also have differing length bans and that, dependent on the same factors.
