Are women welcome on this forum (honest answer). And, how can we change it to make them active here?

It's the case I'm alone here and really need more to equal the balance we would then not have a dilemma (note the avoidance of the word problem). There has been issues on here but not that many but makes me think. I've opened this thread to see what comes to light and it has been interesting. If this was reversed th same would apply I can garrentee.

Don't worry, I'm not getting on your case at all.

I looked this up and I haven't heard the song

It's a lyric from the happy mondays.

I'll post it in the music thread... You'll know the song and have a 'oh, yeah moment'.

I want to reply to your post constructively and have my two cents worth as this thread is mind blowing, as are you.

I rarely post on this forum and I came back after a long absence as i had just purchased DBC17 and had some questions. Everyone in the DBC thread was helpful and friendly, including yourself Caroline. When you are discussing DBC you are as sound as a pound. No Issues. Nice person. Helpful and knowledgeable.

However, i noticed there was a degree of hostility towards you and I noticed some of your posts were odd to say the least. You posted status updates about your period pains. You posted about serious traumas that you went through when you were younger. You accused other members of stalking you and/or making you feel threatened or your internet security compromised in some way. All of these topics were in my opinion bizarre issues to raise on a cricket forum.

If you have issues with period pains i think a better place to raise this would be mums.net. You would get significantly more empathy and sympathy there and maybe even some constructive advice. I don't mind discussing/hearing about period pains with my gf. I just don't want to hear about it from a total stranger on an internet CRICKET forum. I think going on about it on a CRICKET forum is not the best idea to make friends and get people to chat to you. It's just weird. Sorry to be blunt. It just is.

Again, I would suggest talking about serious traumas that have happened during your life is better done with close friends/family and maybe on internet forums that provide support for people with PTS? Maybe if you make close friends on here over time you could discuss it with them in private messages. We have all had bad things happen to us. I just don't understand why you want to talk about them on a bloody CRICKET forum. Again, it's weird. I'm sorry for your troubles but people don't come here to discuss that sort of thing. It comes across as attention seeking and cringe-inducing oversharing.

I post on a variety of forums over a wide variety of topics. Computer Games, Arsenal FC, Literature and Books. There are lots of women on the various forums i frequent. There a lots of people whom i have no idea what their gender is. They get treated with respect by everyone. Its just so odd you think that being a woman makes you special or unique and you go on about it so much. I think you are treated differently because you want to be. You want to stand out and be noticed.

My final comment is pretty blunt and i think it gets to the core of the issue. You come across as someone who just craves attention and drama. I genuinely get the impression that you are loving this thread and it's turning my stomach a bit, it's twisted. The fact that you are now falsely accusing members of harassing you has prompted me to post something serious and try and give you some constructive feedback.

I hope you chill out a bit and are more mindful of what you post and what forum you choose to discuss certain issues with in the future. You have been friendly and helpful to me during my short time on this forum, but you also make me not want to come here as when you get onto weird topics it just annoys people.

Stick to the cricket, the video games and the light-hearted banter. Leave the drama at the door when you log in. People will respect you more for it and not add you to their ignore list.

Let's be honest, Caroline. I made an innocent post sometime back, and you reacted angrily to it, and called me a couple of names that I could have reported. And you almost certainly would have been banned, at least for a period of time.

As I write this, anyone anyone can find this post on the DBC 17 Suggestions thread, because although I deleted all my posts as we were sorting things out via PM, you forgot to delete my post when you quoted me in one of your replies. I've taken a screenshot as evidence, not that I'll be using it, but just as a reminder that any of us have the potential to post content that can be reported, including you. It goes both ways.

I like Rhone's perspective. Wish I'd had it at a much younger age. Take it from me, having made so many mistakes in this regard, that you gotta keep your reactions proportional, and always seek confirmation that you've been wronged before acting on what is usually just a perceived slight.

Anyone wish to add anything positive...?

My post was positive and constructive. I wrote it for your benefit and with considerable thought and care. Hope you reflect upon it because if you don't change your behaviour every single member of this forum will have you on ignore and you will be talking to yourself. Or you will just get banned.

I hope we can get along in the DBC thread as i really don't come to this place to make enemies. I won't be posting again in this thread.

Wow you've really unloaded here but firstly, the period stuff is mostly in jest I'm not embarrassed to speak about it a lot of others are... It then proves me right that so many people on here follow me everywhere and can retrace everything I have written to a disturbing accuracy this is a fact one chap stated something I had written in early January. I have been sent stuff which is horrible staff are aware. And, I have always admitted to being an attention seeker... just think what it is like being the only stud in a village of mares... Had to change that as I don't want you 'overloading' but a truly feel it is beyond many folk on here's comprehension. Now I'm not looking for something but I gather from the thousand on pics I put up I like being told I look pretty, yep guilty absolbloodylutely, yes I'm that shallow. Do check I admit to my faults. But being asked how's my Pusey and receiving pictures of me being done up the arse and going on about my flats chest does get to me ask your GF... ? And, having a lesbian wanting to shag me, now that offer I had to think about.

Don't join the bandwagon. I have admitted to things just would like more women on this site why are there none... ? Never mind, take what I have wrote in peace.

Enemies is a strong word most of my stuff is in the correct thread and tended to be written with love x

Forums are good ways to communicate to other people without feeling the guilt someone will shove it in your face there're many different threads and myself and others use them to our advantage, if you don't come across these threads how do you know the stuff on periods? And other things? Personal trauma some of us speak about this how do you know my problems... It's inside a thread and hidden you must have gone onto my profile and done a pretty good search? Okay, now I know you have gone out of your way to look me up like thousands of others. How do you think This makes me feel? I use my own picture as many on here appreciate me and respect me the rotten eggs are found out a tough cuisines but ask your GF what I'm talking about every day I have someone coming onto me sometimes it's so smooth you want to take that wedding band off but you can't and then the other...
