Yeah, because we never banned bond21 for aggressive trolling.
I was not active then, so I don't know.

What are you saying?
Simple. Virtually every post of his is trolling. And every discussion with him degenerates into some post or the other berating India/Indian fans, even if it is totally out of context. And while any other person would have atleast got a warning for such posts, this guy cooly gets away with such stuff.

Or Ernest. :ph34r:
He was supporting Australian cricket, and did not fit in the stereotype of an Aussie fan.

And btw do the batsmen out in the middle decide when to take the batting powerplay, or does the captain communicate with umpire or his players to employ it.
Was always under the impression it was the batsmen but wouldn't mind this clarified by someone who knows?

Batsmen out on the ground take it. Captain might send out a message to the batsmen with some gloves or something though.

Oh wait, you aren't a moderator. And your history means you can't really talk on this subject.

I'd be careful if I was you.
Why not? I am not talking as if I was moderator of this forum. I have done stuff in the past which embarassed me as well as others, for which I apologised and copped a ban. So I served out the punishment.

However, how can you deem I am not "qualified" to report stuff I deem not conducive or inflammatory?

Anyway, I wish not turn this thread into a rant thread. I wanted to register my deepest concern for a member getting away with such trolling posts.

So... he was an Aussie then? You're agreeing?

Honestly, you're the worst poster on this forum. Go post video comments on youtube or something and stop trying to "moderate" perfectly reasonable discussion of a game of cricket FFS. Social said something dumb and people called him out on it. You coming in here and calling for him to be banned is... well, about as necessary as every other piece of inane gibberish you post.

If you want to report the post, then report it and don't bother making accusations on the forum itself which hijack discussion.

Report function, use it.

Perhaps you shouldn't throw around accusations of bias and favourtism in the moderator ranks if you aren't aware of recent forum history.
Excuse me for my ignorance. But having a history of banning Bond21, does not explain Social not getting a warning, does it?

If the aussies lose another wicket before they take this power play, then the game may well be over.
Though, if haddin and hussey are still there the aussies could get themselves right back in this match.
Looks like ponting is hoping these to can bat past the earlier 40 over mark.

I was responding to implication that Social hasn't been banned purely because he is Australian, by pointing out that we have banned an Australian for exactly the issue you're talking about. The specific case doesn't really interest me much because you're calling for someone to be banned based on the fact that they got the rules wrong which is too ridiculous to bother with; you dragged me in by indirectly accusing the moderators of being biased with the "Oh wait, he's Aussie" comment. I don't really appreciate that and I've replied accordingly.
