Cricket 07 download forum feedback

[Highlander999]

I think what you guys are forgetting about the 07 forum from a moderating perspective is how many posts have to get approved from new members. When I did it, I was have to spend at least 30 minutes every morning approving posts/threads from new members, and that's before I could even check threads for spam, post reports, plagiarism cases etc.

You guys seem to think that, the mod just pops his head in the forum and thats it, what you guys dont realise is that their are hours of work just keeping the forum functioning

I would like few improvements:

• First of all the specific rules are very hard. This is preventing users from posting comments in downloads. You can't expect perfect posts from newbies all the time.
  
• Biggest crap thing is the renamed patches like "Cricket 2009", "Cricket 2010" etc. It simply creates a big confusion. People should be infracted for these.
  
• Obviously more moderators because the C07 forum is the most spam prone forum.
  
• Post limits. I mean, limited number of posts a user can post in a specified time. Should be at least 24 hours. Its awful to see people posting and bumping threads.
  
• Quality Check, only thread with good quality downloads (as decided by the feedback) should remain in the downloads forum. Rest should be dumped in a trash forum.

Any chances of having Tom or Kev back as the moderator of Cricket 07 Forum?

Making someone like Friends863 or Ahad can be suggested as they the old ones and even they know what is going on as they're following it each and every thread. (I dunno about Ahad but I can find at least a post or two in almost all the threads by Friends863.)

Lol, give me link of my last post in Cricket 07 forum except in my thread.

Mod's can't even dream of making me mod as they know I will turn C07 forum into ....... :laugh

really miss Andrew_Nixon here

Friend863 is a bad moderator like me.

Nah, I feel its good making Rahul or someone who has modded the game as he can solve some mystery matters while editing the game.
Here is an example for unanswerable problem
The one who can solve it can be made Moderator according to me

The forum just comprises of fools ATM. That's one reason why it's in such a condition.

The above problem (mentioned by Binnu) can be solved in one second. Though, I don't have the patience to explain it. People like you consider every error to be a massive one, which makes things a bit irritating. The amount of smileys used in a single post make things even worse. People complain of moderation, but according to me it's because of the above mentioned reason why the forum is in such a state.

Those who 'think' that they don't spam, are the ones who really create a mess. I clearly don't want to take names, but about 2 of them have already posted here 'thinking' that they are great members of that fliping forum.

 

[Prithvi]

I am sure that I am one of those three am I right PP??

Hehe, I don't think the admins would re-appoint me after my...outburst plus I wouldn't be too keen on it

Tom ? ?


Yeah he's the best

Yeah, cause I dealt with little trolls like yourself. Now piss off and find something better to do instead of popping up wherever I get mentioned and posting snide remarks...

As Matt said it doesn't matter who's modding the forum unless we're clear about what rules to enforce and how.

 

[StinkyBoHoon]

threads should get locked after 150 posts or something and the user then gets to make a new one.

it's completely impossible to navigate through threads that are 600 posts long and contain conversations from 18 months ago.

 

[MattW]

Now as I'm sure you've wondered, the reason for this sudden thread on the matter was a discussion on this in the staff forum. As this thread so far has achieved next to nothing, I've decided to post it here.

> Members blocked from posting new threads. Instead, there will be threads for new members to post patches and get initial feedback. This is for, quality control, plagiarism limiting and stopping non-download threads being posted. Basically once a person posts a few things, makes some good work, they will have their posts and replies to it split out.

> Creation of the following threads: A general request thread, a general download help thread, a patch creation help thread and a feedback request thread.
>> The general request thread will be a place for people to post away so they can get a patch without searching themselves. Commonly requested patches will be put in the first post of that thread. The rule would be only to post in that thread to: request something, link to an already existing fulfilment of the request, a post stating that you will be working on a request or a post linking to a completion of a request.
>> A download help thread to give in to the fact that people don't read and don't pay attention to the idea that if Cricket 07 stops working after you've installed a patch, then that patch is probably at fault.
>> A patch creation help thread, perhaps this could be combined with the new patch makers' threads, but expanding out the resources thread into a users helping users thread
>> A feedback request thread, people would be able to post up a link to a new download they've made (with limits on how often) and ask for people to go to their thread and give some detailed feedback. Members who participate in giving feedback frequently will be entered into a random draw for a large vCash prize as an incentive for good comments.

> Removal of limits on replies. The fear some new members are getting now about being banned or infracted worries me (just take a look at some of the threads in that forum and you'll get an idea of this), someone makes an off topic or spam post and they are made to feel like they've just shot the Queen. While it may be a convenient solution to just infract everyone, it clearly hasn't worked in producing better posts, it just has reduced posting and increased the prominence of the remaining spam. The idea is to bring back all commenting, but use means of encouraging better comments to try and lift the standards.

> Retaining and encouraging the use of the thanks system.

 

[Prithvi]

And even bro, just increase the size of the image "Thanks" by adding the button "KIUGW" along with Excellent Effort" with same hyperlink as that might just think some new users that they're KIUGWing them and Saying Excellent Effort" to them. That reduce the posts containing Excellent Effort and KIUGW"
