Forum Golden Rules :-)
« on: May 17, 2016, 07:45:41 AM »

Just had a thought, we haven't got the forum golden rules written down. For a bit of fun of course.

 I'll start off with a couple:-

#1 - It never happened unless you provide pics
#2 - Bat purchases solve everything

@WalkingWicket37 @FattusCattus I require your input on this one!

#3 - Eeyore is allowed to change his mind as often as his socks

#4 - @WalkingWicket37 's sex life is out of bounds lest it offends @hanif  (unless the two of them get together, then pics or it didn't happen)

#5 - Height and age restrictions apply to many of the 'racier' threads, which counts you out @uknsaunders

#6 - Anyone who posts in the Your 2016 season thread along the lines of 'ho hum, another century to me, but the oppo were rubbish' can p*ss right off!

#7 - Thickness of toe measurements and arguing the toss on height of the spine measurements make you sound like a prat

#8 - If someone of limited talent wants to own many bats on here, it's better than being a train-spotter, so leave them alone

#9 - 'Nice Bat' does not constitute a viable post, neither does 'lol' or 'rofl' or 'I was thinking about getting one of these....but didn't' - get over yourselves!!

#10 - If English (or common sense) is not necessarily your first language, it is still not acceptable to spam every thread saying 'I looking for bat, email me with what you have' NO! They won't, get off your fat ass and call them yourselves you lazy defects!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like Rule #6 as well and wish that I could say that at least once in my life.

#11 - All bat descriptions must come with measurements, edge, toe, spine
#12 - Proper bat nerds use PUI (Pickup Index) and rubber band concaving in reviews and descriptions
#13 - Anybody who doesn't review a bat within 5 minutes of buying it is an amateur CBF'er
#14 - Redders will post a wanted or sales post for softs every month

#15 if you use text speak you are a bellend

#16 the kit is always to blame, buying a new box will increase your batting average

#17 despite what people say, a new bat will benefit your game more than coaching

#18 As a CBF member bat shopping must take a minimum of 3 hours, you still spend this time tapping up every bat in the shop before you decide on what to purchase

Asad's Alladin's cave should be a CBF pilgrimage!

I haven't visited myself, but Vitas is worth popping into by all accounts too, as is VKS

Why not?

Me personally I've been to Uzi and vitas from here. Plus allrounder and owzat. And I've been to the b3 factory shop more times than I can remember.

Get out and adventure!

Don't you know it's only us northerners who are able to drive more than 30 miles to get to somewhere @smilley792 you know southern cars just immediately stop dead after an hour of driving  :D

The first cricket box was used in 1874.  The first cricket helmet was introduced in 1974. So, it took 100 years for men to twig that their brains were also worth protecting.

#23 - anything with a pro's name (mispelled of course) on the toe written in a sharpie is a massive fake

I favour shops. I just didn't think it was the way for most on here. "I'm a 2lb 9 man" etc.

Stop saying 'could of', 'should of' etc instead of 'have'?
