Question on ban announcements

you know on second glance that PM looks like it was written by burgey in an attempt to dupe weld one into going even further

no one uses 'mate' as often as an australian
I wish I’d had the time to write it because it’s something I absolutely would gladly have done.

You can't do anything about cliques naturally forming, but at times it does seem to escalate from "this established group and this person don't get along" to "this established group is attempting to goad this person they don't like into leaving or getting banned", which I think is totally unacceptable. The more it 'works' the more the scope of who is worthy of this treatment seems to grow, as well, from people who argue in bad faith and spoil the forum atmosphere to people who just have the wrong opinions.

I haven't followed the specifics of this incident enough to say whether that's happened here or not due to my hospitalisation - I'll try to catch up properly tomorrow - but I do think it's been a problem in the past.
Your illness has afforded you time for reflection, which is good.

It’s a shame you’ve reflected poorly, though

He also randomly accused Shri (?) of sucking up to white people or something odd.

If you ragequit from cricsim, that's fine. But if you go on to do the same in multiple Mafia games, CW, Drafts and even the ****ing Desi whatsapp chat, something's probably wrong with you and not everyone else.
It doesn't mean what stephen thinks it does. "If you want to pick Bradman, you must pick Mahmadullah and counting Mahmadullah have a minimum of 9 players in your side already. Bradman must be your 10th or 11th player." means:
If I want to pick Bradman
1. I must pick Mahmadullah
2. I must have a minimum of 9 players in my side counting Mahmadullah already (before picking Bradman) - so Bradman must be the 10th or 11th pick

Prove me wrong.

stephen should have spent 2 more minutes writing the rules clearly. This is terrible choice of words for what he wanted it to mean. Should have simply said "If you want to pick Bradman, Mahmudullah must be your 9th pick." He didn't even need so many words.

Lara and Laker both gone - I would have picked one of them in place of Mahmadullah if the rules were written in correct language. Please count me out and enjoy the draft if I'm not allowed Bradman (or not allowed to change my Mahmadullah pick for Lara or Laker).

ok now lets hogpile weldone and squeeze his gut out his arse

And no mod-kill for this death threat? Nice.

Or the mafia subforum
Yeah I'm pretty sure this entire mess is a result of what happened in that mafia game that ended up with weldone being banned from that subforum for a second time rather than n+p. I'd rather hoped it wasn't actually that petty but there's no evidence to indicate otherwise, and this whole "what about the forum bullies" narrative does strike me as more than a little selective and dishonest as a result given that weldone was unquestionably being the disruptive bully in that whole mess. I can't think of any other reason he'd go after Uppercut otherwise but it does rather put the lie to the whole oh woe is me thing especially given that weldone was the one to create this entire mess in the first place; as far as I'm concerned the injection of politics related posting into this argument is a total distraction.

Nevertheless if @jimmy101 or whoever else wants to leave because they feel unwelcome then that's their prerogative. Really hope they weren't responsible for sending that PM though, yeesh.
