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

One thing I like a lot about CW is the diversity of the members in terms of countries. I don't think I would have a connect (even if it is only online) with people from so many countries if not for CW.

Yeah I don't think he actually quit, just stopped coming back.

Yeah I saw him post something on his socials the other week - seems to be having a pretty happy and busy life these days.

Wonder what that's like

And here I was yesterday thinking Brook's side is so bad he even makes you seem a good bloke.

 

[Burgey]

Lucky I didn't post that line of thinkin.... oh

 

[Athlai]

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:

HTTP isn't secure, I wish it was HTTPS. Also, I couldn't link to cricbuzz article. And maybe moderation too can play a part.

 

[CartyDurham]

I’m scared to post too often

 

[Shri]

Rightfully so, you post same point over and over and over again...no wonder you do 1000 posts per day of absolute rubbish

imagine how we feel after 16 ****ing years debating the same **** with each other ffs

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

TBF most Manure fans are ***** anyway and deserve everything they get.

This place is very mild compared to other forums around

the ignore feature is always an option , if posters start hounding me, so it’s all ok

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.
