Popular Post sandeep Posted March 10, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted March 10, 2016 I want to get a word in, defending non-Indian fans' right to banter. Yes, Maha Ravana has become a bit one-note lately, but I for one, enjoy a bit of rival banter, as long as its a bit creative and not offensive. Let's be honest - overall tone of ICF posts about other teams is very aggressive, and some of it does cross the line occasionally. If its ok for us to use terms like bangbros, and lungis then we should be able to take counter-banter as well. So please let's not go too far in policing the non-Indian fans. As much as I feel like defending the rival fans, there are some who are only interested in trolling, for "revenge" or otherwise. That kind of posting is definitely littering and is not to be tolerated. Problem is, its very hard to enforce because it all depends on context and subjective judgement - we will not be able to use automated methods such as downvotes etc to do this, since they are all easy to tamper with. Overall, I think ICFers could do with being a bit more welcoming, and "nicer" to rival fans in general - it will only make our forum better. express bowling, moniker, HippoSucks and 9 others 12 Link to comment
zen Posted March 10, 2016 Author Share Posted March 10, 2016 (edited) The OP states - "First of all, I love the comments of many of the non-Indian Team fans. However, there are quite a few posters who just come here to troll or spread hatred. So below is a note to these type of posters:"So let's not try to bring in all types of fans as only a particular category is being discussed here. That many fans are nice does not justify the action of those who are not. And those who are nice do not need to be defended as this is not even a discussion about them Edited March 10, 2016 by rett sandeep 1 Link to comment
express bowling Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Quite a lot of saints in this thread.. most of you insult my country,our players and the team..and in your case rett you have insulted my country's heritage.. every single match thread that involves SL is full of hate and insults.. Lungans,loins,bhikaris,beggars you name it..I've seen it all at ICF... whingakkara,lady jaya,Mahila.. the list goes on .. i don't care them not being appreciated... but i have a problem when they are insulted endlessly.. and I retaliate harshly, I accept. Regarding modification of the names of players...it happens with Indian cricketers also...like Fatwin, Dhobi, Rat, Pissant, Nohit etc. I don't think it is meant as an insult towards other countries....more like posters having a bit of fun. As long as it happens with players of different countries including India, it should not be considered as national bias.I would request all serious posters here not to modify the names of other countries. This is one aspect that is best avoided for a better forum experience.Mahaa Ravana....a lot of leg pulling and banter goes on here ....if that did not happen then our forum experience would be boring. Why don't you reply with the same without resorting to blind hate ?There are lots of posters here who are very appreciative of top Sri Lankan cricketers. I was a big fan of Ranatunga as captain, De Silva the batsman etc. Sangakkara is appreciated a lot too in India. Chameera is very impressive and many Indians fans are repeatedly saying so. Malinga's ability as a LOI bowler is appreciated by most Indians too.Mahaa Ravana.....You seem to have a lot of interest in cricket.......Why don't you write more about upcoming Sri Lankan cricketers and how the current ones are doing nowadays ? That would interest a lot of Indian posters here. . tweaker, Rightarmfast, sourab10forever and 5 others 8 Link to comment

In any event, I think this thread has served its purpose in at least, making clear the positive attitudes of majority ICFers towards 'visiting' fans. And clarifying the distinction between banter, and offensive trolling - revenge or otherwise. express bowling and zen 2 Link to comment

Yes it would be good to have some feedback from foreign posters but apart from a few good foreign posters(KW, Asim etc) most are hit and run posters. They post(troll) a day before a India match and are nowhere to be seen during the match. They will only come crawling out of their holes if India is doing badly or loses the match.

Temujin Khaghan Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 sad thing is even if some members try to build some banter with non indian fans because its boring to keep chatting with indian fans all the time, some of our morons will not be able to tolerate that. many times some stupid ICF'er would hop along and provoke a friendly pakistani into madness. There used to be a pakistani fan called keyboardwarrior or someone else i cant remember correctly. he used to post pictures of pakistan all the time in the chitchat section. he used to be very friendly. but some of our idiots kept irritating him and he started biting everyone. i dont know whats his position now though. this was before the revamp.

CoverDrive Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 (edited) Ok guys ..noted and will make an effort to add something worthy to the forum in future. . Thanks for the support and understanding shown..Great! to push the discussion in more productive areas some thoughts It would be great if others would bring insights from domestic and developing scenes from their countries. Would really love to hear how SriLanka continues to come up world class talent. I great respect the school cricket system in SL and would to read more opinions/articles/thoughts on it. how the cricketers from outside the known school system like Malinga, Murli etc. have broken into the system. Similarly hear from Pakistani posters on local tournaments etc. Where are the nurseries of fast bowling, what is driven the poor technique among the current crop of batsmen. Most fascinating is the rise of Bangladesh cricket - I know even less about system there than SL and PakInternational cricket will be what it is with its baggage of patriotism and rivalries which causes all this hate and trolling Edited March 11, 2016 by CoverDrive beetle 1 Link to comment
Rightarmfast Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Good post! But I think a little argument and banter is ok. As long as no one crosses the line. Let's not do policing, rather make the forum interesting by having more non indian posters! beetle and express bowling 2 Link to comment
