I'm not spamming here, but this was the post FB was talking about that got lost in the thread.

Anyways, I have no grudge against the Indian members whose first language isn't English but they could probably make a little bit more of an effort. I know Vaibhav does and nobody sees him as a spammer. If you know 'u', 'dis', 'tym', 'y', etc are then surely you know the real word.

The majority of 'these members' first go to the downloads forum. There is very little moderation done in this area (not blaming the mods here, just making a point) and hence, there is nobody there to stop them the first time they overruse smilies or type in text talk. As a result, they think it's okay to do it again.

Personally the horrible posts just puts me off reading the downloads forum, and therefore I don't get to do much about it. Unless there is a post report or someone PMs me about something I won't go into a thread with the intention of moderating it, I read threads to read them and have the occasional reply.

And of course we would be looking at that forum in particular in relation to the next reshuffle, but as usual the best way is to report the post, no mod can read every thread, no matter how many we have.

Finally I'd like to point out this thread is for the upgrade to vBulletin 3.7, and that the thread for this discussion should be the post quality one. Mind you we were discussing this system before that thread, but those sort of threads often act to reassure us when making a decision.

These new rules will be perfect although I think we need more active mods in the download section like shrav said somewhere.

The extra mods will only be needed in the downloads forum, not even especially but only there. There are heaps of people in Cricsim so maybe transfer a few to there.

Although I've noticed the mod list in each forum is really out dated, I think we should update that if we can.

Great work on implementing the new forum strategy admins. Although I hope we are allotted our occasional joke though, whether it makes people laugh is another question :p
 
How can I make some skins for PlanetCricket? What is the scope of changing the look of Vbulletin, which is, unless I'm mistaken the forum software PlanetCricket is using? I know HTML and CSS. I have local installation of WAMP. I also have a vBulletin installation but I'm not sure which version PlanetCricket is using.

Presently the structure looks like any other Vbulletin forum! Other wise it looks good.

Well there isn't really much you can do with the structure and keep it familiar, there were a few ideas I had for some slight redesign of the page layout but even the one that made it in got reverted in the upgrade (it is still on the portal if you want to know what I mean).

I personally think we are fine for the number of skins, but if you have any layout suggestions or skins made you want us to consider adding, PM me and I'll take a look.

@Abhas, I'll look in to that.
 
Ok Matt, once I have something concrete, I'll PM you. By the way, I really like the look of Joejoe.org, what do you think?! But I'm not sure what software they are running.
 
Can we have Black theme.

Just used NZ skin but can it be modified as Black themes look awesome with great color combinations.
 
Yes, Matt changed it. Is it a problem to have at least 10 in vBookie?
