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  :-[

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

Read 'Description'


Was certain I'd seen the description before. Knew I wasn't making it up!

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?
