The Subcontinental Issue!

[StinkyBoHoon]

could we not just have a sticky sachin thread that all stuff about tendulkar can go in or be moved to if it's about him?

would seem the sensible thing to do. provides a guideline for those that want to go on about him, doesn't get in the way of anything else.

Lol, I like it. The Sachin Thread.

 

[pcfan123]

why should we?

you don't see the English asking for KP thread or the Aussie for a Punter thread.

Perhaps the Sachin fans should keep their dicks in their pants instead.

and I agree with Karthik, the C07 forum should be deloused, disinfected and deleted. Anyone who posts there regularly should be banned

It's the best solution, I think. We have to make some compromises.

They cant take down the C07 forum i guess, it's the one which grabs traffic and member reg, clicks and all those nerd terms which are essential to keep the site running ( i mean for the domain charges etc.) and in returns we get "where do i dwnld ipl patch" :P

 

[pcfan123]

The perfect example of how certain people overreact is to see the difference when England won the World2020 and when India does anything slightly significant.

The only person to make a thread about England winning the World2020 was RDF, when India won it..........................

So what, that part of the forum has Internet AIDS, time to mercy kill

 

[StinkyBoHoon]

it's just what you do if there's a lot of demand. cater for it and put it all in one big thread. there's been one post in the live score thread this year? wouldn't it be better use of the space.

you can't really ask people not to post about a cricketer on a cricket website.

yeah maybe these people need to chill out a bit, but surely a thread were it's all kept out of the way is better than trying and failing to restrain people from talking about what they want to talk about.

 

[Gaurav_7]

Moderation might do the job there, Mark.

 

[pcfan123]

lol dutchad tried to moderate C07 and it drove him to the brink of insanity. It's like herding cats

But there are places for them to talk about said player in the tours thread where he's just scored how many amounts of runs.

Mark has been the best poster as well as the best Member I feel.

This is another problem and I call it the 'deepthroat' syndrome. This happens to Dutchad as well. Mark has had probably more incidents with sub-continental members than Tom had, yet his is still considered God. People just clutch on to him, when he goes 'oh no, Mark, please don't go' and he comes back it's all 'yeah, the saviour has returned'. 'You saved our lives, we are eternally grateful.'

it is apparently serving as the breeding ground to majority of the problems that this site is facing.

lets just close that forum for a week or two and see what difference it makes to the site overall.

It's happened to the best of us, and ironically two of the people most hated by the Indians, are the two that went insane moderating the downloads forum. Me & Tom.

If you rattle a body full of maggots they'll just spill everywhere.

It will alleviate one of the major problems that seems to be brought up here over and over again--i.e. "too many Sachin threads".

I think the bigger problem is that all discussion in CD today is driven around posting a news article and then commenting on it. I remember a time at PC where news articles had their own subforum so that if you wanted to post an article (whether you had written it or someone else) it had a place to go.

Now we just copy and paste an article and consider it to be a valid seed for discussion. I'm not saying that I'm not guilty of it. Doing a search in CD of threads I started, pretty much everything I've started over the last 2 years have been seeded out of a news article. Go back before then and I actually had my own topics for discussion, such as:

http://www.planetcricket.org/forums/cricket-discussion/slow-over-rates-how-should-dealt-10360.html

I think we've just fallen into this gap of being lazy or perhaps Cricket media has taken off so much such that there's nothing new to discuss.
