Title: What is "Colts" category on forum profiles?
Post by: Howzat on August 20, 2013, 07:04:41 PM
Just wondered what Colts means on a persons profile...

Example: http://custombats.co.uk/cbforum/index.php?action=profile;u=68483 (http://custombats.co.uk/cbforum/index.php?action=profile;u=68483)

I wondered that, assumed it was to do with the age of the person?

Or is it to do with the number of posts?

I'm pretty sure its a way of ranking how many posts you've made. Village Cricketer for beginners, County XI, International etc going up in order of rank.

I agree with jamesisapayne, looks like ranking by no. of posts/replies, like mine is Village Cricketer  :-[

It means the forum member is under 16 I think

The example given by Leo 'Ben robinson' hasn't mentioned his age so I believe it has nothing to do with age. Also the experienced forum members have other names like County XI, International etc. I believe the name comes with the no. of posts on the forum

the forum rule when you sign on say you have to be over 16.

in some cases people have not fully disclosed their age to get on the forum.

the colts section has been created rather than just banning these guys, which may be a little over zealous, so we have created the new category.

as it stands, the only difference is that they are not allowed to sell items on the forum.

it seemed a sensible a reasonable solution.

if you don't agree get in touch...

"Colts" are all those who are Under 18, as per most clubs. Anyone that we find has signed up and is below 18 years of age gets added to this category.

Out of curiosity how do you find out if the member is under 18?

They tell us.

Hi all,
I am Lewis Faulds. 16 years old and still at school. I am the founder and attempting to be owner of Virus. The name was inspired by my chemistry teacher who wrote the virus on every bat he has ever owned - thus the link.
I was duped into the bats of keeping, who offered me a grade 1 bat at £80. I thought that this was their trade price. While on eBay, I was looking for a hammer fyrre and was about to buy Simons until my loving sponsors at kookaburra decided they'd renew my deal. In short, virus is still a dream. In all honesty, I wanted the honest opinion of people like yourself, who know far more than me about company's. I plan on getting bats from SM in India now, as they offer grade 1 at a realist price. If any wants to give me some positive/ negative comments about my plans let me know. My bats aren't amazing. I've only had two samples from companies that'll remain nameless but they were ok. With the exception of a CA custom I received.

Thank you,
Regards
Lewis

It even says he's 17 on his profile.



I presume he's pissed he can no longer sell.
