The Cricket board is a place for people to talk about cricket and to have some good natured laughs.
The Cricket board rules can be boiled down to 2 simple principals.
1. Don’t be evil.
This is your basic aggressive behaviour stuff. It’s the unwarranted abuse, harassment, etc of other people; it also includes all the racism, bigotry, vilification, etc type of stuff as well.
Put simply if you behave like a nasty little so and so towards others you are going to attract the attention of the mods.
2. Don’t be annoying.
We can’t list all the annoying things that people to do. But as a rough guide, some of the annoying things people have been doing lately are listed below:
*OTT exaggerations. Declaring that ‘player [x] is the worst player ever’.
*Endlessly banging on about the same rubbish over and over again. Yes we all know you think Lee is the best/worst bowler ever, there is no need to say it 500 times a week.
*Bumping old combative threads
*Misguided attempts at ‘humour’ If it can be taken the wrong way make it really obvious that you are joking.
*Starting deliberately provocative or combative threads Opening posts (including the thread titles) are modded more strictly than regular posts. A well reasoned argument about why you think Hussey (or whoever) should be dropped is fine. Saying "Drop Hussey, he sucks" is not good enough.
*Constantly engaging in repetitive arguments Nothing is more boring than people who keep on getting involved in endless multipage arguments. Learn when to drop it.
*Arguing with Mods Do not chuck a tantrum because one of the mods gave you a slap on the wrist. This is guaranteed not to end well for you.
*Deliberately trying to come up with smartarse ways to get around the rules.
*NSW Bias etc. Go anywhere near there and you'll get a yellow card.
3. No discussion of ways to access illegal streams
That means no links, no hints on what to search for to find them, no requesting that information, and no posting of invitations to do it via PM
...As usual posters will be treated according to their history of behaviour. Long term good posters have more latitude than regular troublemakers or newcomers who come in shooting their mouths off.
It’s pretty simple kiddlywinks: behave like a reasonable human being and you will have no problems whatsoever.
