Topic: WHAT ARE THE MEMBERS DOING TO THEIR OWN FORUM???????????? (Read 6076 times)

Hey guys. Been on the forum a bit over the last 24 hours, and I've seen some pretty p*ss-poor postings!

As a long time user of CSF, and now this forum, I think it sucks.

We've all laughed on here about how CSF went downhill. There were idiots posting, dodgy deals and fake bats flying around and sh*tty little spats between teenage keyboard warriors who should know better.

Well, I tell, you, if some of you want to turn this forum into the same Thing, you are going about it the right way!

I keep seeing rants and threads about this bloke scammed me this, and this bloke sells fake that, this guy didn't post this - then the rest of you all pile in, where it's none of your business!

I don't blame you guys for being cheesed off if you've been scammed, or given poor service - I'd get the hump too!!

BUT CAN'T WE JUST BAN THE D*CKHEADS AND IDIOTS?

AND ALL YOU PEOPLE COMING ON HERE SELLING FAKES, CHEATING BUYERS, STARTING FIGHTS AND STALKING MEMBERS ON FACEPLANT AND MSN AND THE LIKE - WHY DON'T YOU JUST HEAD OFF ELSEWHERE, AND LEAVE THIS FORUM TO THE REAL CRICKET EQUIPMENT NERDS, WHO LOVE DISCUSSING IT?

AND IF IT AINT YOUR FIGHT, STAY OUT OF IT - ONE MORE UNINFORMED OPINION ON A THREAD WON'T HELP!!!

C'mon guys - this was the place to post, and it's beginning to change, and if it continues the good posters will leave and the decent kit on offer will disappear.

I 100% Agree. When I joined the forum, none of this dogpoo was around. In the 6 Months i've been here it has all changed. Come on guys, get your act sorted!

I do agree and apologise for my recent post. It however does have a purpose, showing that people are not as clever as they think they are and can get away with it. As well as trying to keep the issues quiet via pm's when people have a right to know who is dodgy and not to deal with in future. It also gives people signs of what to look out for if they think they are being scammed

I agree also, however for the forum to grow Leo & the owner need to decide what this forum is about. Are they in it for the � and advertising etc. (Which I guess is only natural) If we're not careful we're gonna be moving forums again which is frustrating, I hear rumours of a new forum opening and I don't want to see the CB members there...

How about a seperate section with baby threads that's only avaliable to the select few, e.g. you have to have earned your place. The members of the section can vote on who posts and who doesn't...

I think this will create a lot of fights, but be better for the decent posters.

Thanks,

G Bulldurggg

the truth it is hard to say what is best it all opinon based like some people like me some hate me but i will be honest there to much dodgyness going on and i suspect it has been going on all along..

the forum is fine but there to many people doing the wrong thing and envy leads to greed and i suspect that is what we have here..

i will not lie i only deal with people i think i can trust and it is harder to trust on here when people are selling stuff when we all know they could get more on ebay..

i know we all want to help fellow likeminded cricketers out well that the aim of it all surely?

I've been on hear since the days of af cricket, and have been a mod, and it is noticable, this past haven of cricket knowledge, insider tips. and arousal over edge sizes is slowely turning to a kids free for all.
1)Theres no Lekka on this one, so it's already ahead of the game!
2)It's the new set of young'uns, (sound like an old man here). That was the problem with other forums, you guys seem to throw away your dignity and respect, in search of a quick buck for some (No Swearing Please) gear, or sponsorship. Please think before you post guys. you are bringing everyone else on the forum down to your level, as it now takes a good while wading through the heaps of (No Swearing Please) on here
3) Anyone buying of the forum will take risks buying blind, i'm not advocating lying, but you should be careful who you deal with. Don't come bitching to everyone else in this fashion, your grown up enough be on the internet, so take responsability. Maybe ask the forum if you are unsure, BEFORE buying.
I Really dont want to see this place go down the drain!
Rant over.... Magners time

and i going against the grain here but in my opinion the forum is about more than meets the eye stuff.....

controversal i may be but it is intereting when you put something up in good faith about company products it no suprise to me that there others on here i knoe the little click put the equipment down because they have personal issue with other companys.

there are good people on here spending there hard earned cash but there are some on here who just use this as there buisness empire and try to knock anything or everthing about something that is nothing to do with them at all .

iam not getting into anything but i suspect some on here love the fact they get the younger members who not knocking you have not a clue at all to spend there money on something they say is best when in truth this forum is only as big as it members..

i enjoy the forum but if what i have said is worth banning me then so be it iam a principled man and i stand by what i have said

if you want it in english please ask somebody else sorry about my grammer and english like i have said school was not realy my thing

I've never been on CSF but I agree there is an increase in arguments and ..... scammed off ....... and I have to say I've said things I shouldn't have on here but I agree that most people on here get along and it is a generally nice place to be on.

Chaim · « **Reply #11 on:** April 06, 2010, 10:21:14 PM »

ive also realised that this forum has become virtually an online store, when i look to the bottom of the home page all the topic are from "goods for sale/swap" once upon a time we would actually talk about cricket and talk about kit!!!!! OH HOW I MISS THE DAYS!!!!

RoCo Da Pixie · « **Reply #12 on:** April 06, 2010, 10:22:20 PM »

I agree with the cat, there are some that add nothing to the forum. But just waste time asking about sales, and also post alot of crap, if we could ban them then it would help the forum move forward,

procricket · « **Reply #13 on:** April 06, 2010, 10:23:36 PM »

I think the people on here who people always get along with are genuine. I don't have a problem with anyone on here and there are some people who I think are really generous.
