5) The thread de-railers - These guys have the uncanny tendancy of bringing each thread to the same point. A thread about sandwhiches will remind them of Sachin because he is so dependable.
It reminds them of Sachins RPT... Badaa hurt hotaa hai when they do it.... :((

Things you really need warning/bans for on ICF

We have bans for abusing, bans for trolling and bans for being flamy. But there are other things we really need bans for. (BTW I will be the first one to admit that I am guilty of most of them) 1) Bringing the same joke, one-liner into every topic Believe it or not, there is such a thing as an overused joke. There is only so long one can laugh at the same joke again and again. So If I see a Ponting smiley in a sachin thread and a Dravid thread, I dont want to see it again in a Laxman thread. Thats over-kill. Why this Kolaveri di is a successful meme but do I need to see it in a thread about world poverty? Exception - RPT. That one will be evergreen and I am sure my grandsons will be using it to get a laugh 2) Over use of smileys - Smileys have a functioning reason. They cover for your lack of vocabularly and convey emotions to otherwise drab texts. But when you use smileys as a crutch, people will think you are as looney as a spastic with a perpetual smile on his face. There are posters who punctuate serious replies with inconsequential smileys, posters who giggle like a girl at everything and posters who are lazy enough to use smileys as a replacement for typing. We know who you are and we unanimously think you suck 3) Posters with vocab diarrhea (Guilty as charged) - No reply from them will be less than 2000 across by 1500 down. They are as subtle as a gorrilla with a sledgehammer. They are going to impress their cleverness on your person like a cowboy with a branding iron. A simple question like - talk about your mood- will go into the realms of philospy, religion and everything in between. We get it that you are smart. And that you need our attention like a baby crying for a diaper change. Now go sit in the corner, we will read your post when we are unemployed; or the project manager of an IT company 4) The 'neutral' third parties - Trust me, no person on earth can be neutral ever. Its human nature. No matter how much you pretend to enjoy good cricket, or good cinema, we know the magnetic north your bias points to. And when you finally come out of the closet, its much more pathethic than the antics of the die-hard fans who at least were honest up front 5) The thread de-railers - These guys have the uncanny tendancy of bringing each thread to the same point. A thread about sandwhiches will remind them of Sachin because he is so dependable. Afridi's strike rate or the percieved shortcomings of a particular religion will seem hillarious enough to them to the extent that they will generously post them in a thread dealing with Indian cooking. They never forget a grudge, spend their entire night thinking of an adequate comeback on a topic which they were pwned and then post the same in a complately irrelevant thread. The english language had to borrow the french phrase 'deja vu' because they found themselves inadequate to describe the effects of these posters on a common man. 6) The openly patriotic - These guys are the ultimate kill joys. They will make you guilty for enjoying any thing and everything. Sachin scored a 100 and India lost, you are the worst thing to happen to India. You bought a new, expensive phone - 70% of India live in poverty. One is supposed to watch the most inconsequtional of matches and support the lamest of player in the name of patriotism. We might pass the cricket test but we are never going to escape the eagle eyes' of these net Bhagat Singhs and Rajgurus. Their typical response starts with "team over country", "contribution to country", If I were in his place I would play for free", etc. All this while, sitting comfortably in a couch 7 seas away from India. Dude I know my param veer chakra doesnt prove anything but for once let me enjoy the game of cricket for what it is, let me chose what excites me and skip what does not in a game without feeling guilty about it

:hatsoff::hatsoff::hatsoff::hatsoff::hatsoff::hatsoff: I'd like to add a few rules myself. 1) If you can't take it, don't dish it 2) No racist or religious attacks. No endless "ur country is the racist! no urs is!" 3) No over-the-top personal attacks. 4) No over-the-top sexist attacks. 5) No violating the Terms of Service otherwise. 6) Refrain from posting anything that isn't entertaining. Don't bore us. Come with stats, come with smack talk, just come with something. Spamming threads with mind-numbing nonsense should be dealt with severely. All the rules are equally important. Rule #6 more so. I was reading the Viv vs Donald vs Sachin vs Ferrari vs Lindberg vs Armyman thread. The first few pages were full of insults and put downs. Same is the case with the last few pages. And the pages in between. But the last few pages, especially the Cricket 2 Death vs Rett part was excruciatingly boring. Guys, please be more creative with those put downs. Reading that 2 page fight was as much fun as watching Test Cricket in slow motion. If I were upto me, I'd banish you guys forever for the bore-fest. :P

+1. One more guy who is a pleasure to debate with is Seedhi. Even if he holds a completely opposite viewpoint to yours, his replies are succinct and stays on topic without derailing or resorting to personal insults.
