Following recent discussions, I am proposing to require all threads on the board to be cricket related. Off topic posts on cricket related threads may be removed.
I note that most threads in 'Off Topic' are created by a single member and there are many more suitable places on the internet to discuss the topics.
This is all our board so discussion welcome.

Far be it from me to step on anyone’s ‘tiptoes’ but the old admin would have booted a certain person off the board by now for some of the salacious comments he’s made.
Keep it cricket!

It sounds like the reason for removing the Off Topic section is because one persons posts so much dross on there. I never had a problem with it in the past. Surely, it’s a question of making sure it’s of some general interest. I would quite like an other sports section if nothing else, particularly as stuff loosely linked to cricket or Sussex can be discussed.

I will look into it. |

So much for the 2 posters getting on their high horses and keeping up their self imposed exile from this board. One lasted less than 24 hours.

I agree with sixandout. The only reason we have reached this stage is because one poster has abused the system
to the ninth degree.
An off-topic section offers alternative reading away from cricket, so long as the subject is interesting and so long
as it adheres to the same Forum rules. A few years back, I started a thread about the rigged 2020 U.S Presidential
Election which not only attracted a lot of interest and controversy, but a healthy number of views.
Deal with the abuse, not the off-topic section.

Deal with the abuse, not the off-topic section. I completely agree. The rather sad abuse continues albeit subtly. Them abusing me is fine, but casual racism used again yesterday in their post about Yuri Miyazaki to me is not only unneccesary buut also very consistent from said poster. |

Talk about seeing offence where none is intended, you and your vivid imagination knows no bounds. My reference to the above tennis player was that she was a total unknown who appeared from nowhere. Generally 7th ranked Brits of either gender aren't household names. As for the OP I see he made a post about the unwanted kiss from the President of Fifa to the Spanish women's Captain in the guise of gender roles reversed which is ostensibly acceptable, thus making a point of hypocrisy. Except this was on the cricket forum and not Off Topic. |

Clearly nothing is going to be done to stop this so this will be my final post until it has. |

Clearly nothing is going to be done to stop this so this will be my final post until it has. Seriously, there is something mentally wrong with you or you have a very low IQ. If you go to the Other Sport section and read the relevant post I made, if I had edited it would show in the bottom right hand corner, but the fact there is nothing there. Same with the Rolf Harris lie. I never called him a National Treasure or words to that effect. I asked you to find the offending post and you came up with the same canard that I had edited it (which I hadn't) but you had kept the original so I asked you to reveal it, but you couldn't. Trying to get me banned on blatant lies is desperate. |

Trying to get me banned on blatant lies is desperate. Mocking my mental health now, this really is the lowest of the low and the final straw. Living with my mental health condition has its challenges but when people use mental health issues as an insult they dont actually realise the damage it causes. |

Well I was on the money then. And so much for your "final post."
I hope you get the necessary medical help but I was entitled to hit back based on your libellous comments.
