Head on over to here if you want to avoid his posts.

Ahaha. Bravo, sir. Bravo.

 

[Turbinator]

This is still going on? Ahh well, atleast it's giving some of us a good laugh.

All I can say is, come this summer, the mods will have their work cut out for them.

 

[GotSpin]

Yeah you better hope none of the Indian players slip up because I'm going to make a 30 page thread even if they just snap a pencil

 

[silentstriker]

Meh, I already do that every time a new fast bowler debuts for India.

The Sreez0r to take 24 wickets @ 18 in England.

 

[silentstriker]

Yea, and then I'll get on the honors board at Lord's by scoring a maiden double century and a taking a ten wicket haul.

No-one believed he'd do what he did in SA in 06/07 too. I believe.

Count me in, posting over and over and over and over and over again about the ICC code of conduct

Although if we do take a harsher line on expressing cricketing opinions, whenever India bowl the number of posts reported per hour would exceed the bowling speed of the Indian bowlers. 'Cause there'd be like 25 posts reported in an hour.

I reckon peddling fixing accusations repeatedly should be an infractable offence.

Worst ****. Bar none.

Falls under 'slander' AFAIC. 8 points.

If one was to post such comments across four threads, would one get four infractions...?

 

[GIMH]

GingerFurball would like to be unbanned so he can make a thread apologising to India fans. In this thread he will then go on to explain why his comments he apologised for were in fact justified.

Thoughts?

Can't he wait for a week?

Well, if someone continues doing it after being warned or infracted, it would result in multiple infractions/bans. Unfortunately, sometimes we're not online or fast enough to hand out infractions and things do go on for a few hours before we can act.

I think he should email James as there's not much point having a straw poll amongst members on here, which would just cause James to dig his toes in...

What if someone makes a post but immediately deletes it after having a change of heart? Mods can see deleted posts so will he still be infracted even after the deletion and when no one has responded to it/reported it?

It's possible but very highly unlikely since we probably wouldn't see it (it would have to be a weird case, like doing it repeatedly to deliberately annoy the mods). Like if you were to do it right now, I'd give you 700 infraction points.

 

[Uppercut]

I didn't realise that's what Furball was banned for. Which specific rule did he break?
