What is wrong with the cricket section?

Question

This is supposed to be a place where you seek truthful & factual answers to your Qs, but more & more we are getting answers from what can only be kids, voicing opinions which are guarenteed to mislead, and have no connection with fact. I always google my answers before I give them, except of course where one's opinion & not fact is sought.e.g. who is your favourite player etc.These kids(and at least 1x 30 something yr old man)are just cluttering our space with nonsense & bitterness between users. What do you think should be done?

Answer 1

because some indian fans wold only hear you say we also love indian team and they want us to say they are the world champions...  they wont stop daydreaming, they keep attacking aussies, I mean look at those questions below some of them simply trying to provoke a fight or arguments.

Answer 2

Dunno but Austrlai r numba #1 on the charts and munba 1 in our hearts

Answer 3

I agree that many users are misusing the section. There is too much name-calling, thumbing down of good answers simply becuae of the user, or the answer isn't agreeable to everyone, and far too many stupid'questions' (I use the term lightly), and idiotic answers.

I'm a great beleiver that if you have nothing to say, say nothing.

People need to realise that this section is a place where we can share knowledge about cricket. It is not to be used as a site to brag about which country, or which player is better than others.

I am English, but I say that Australia is the best team in the world. That is my opinion, and I can back it up with fact. That does not make me a traitor to my country.

One point I would pick up on from your question is that you are blaming a lot of the nonsense on kids. Whilst allowing people as young as 13 to go on these sites will always be a problem, I think the bigger issue is the immaturity of some of the users. I know that there are some very good, sensible users on here who are in their teens, and many of the problems on this site are caused by older users. Some of the kids causing trouble are just copying.

I think we need to focus on the positives. Yes, there are a lot of bad users on the section. But, there are also many very good users.

There is no point in getting into arguments with the idiots: they don't have the cerebral capacity to see reason. The best thing to do is ignore them (wherever possible) and try to rise above the mediocrity.

Answer 4

I know many people will not like that and will again start calling me traitor but this cricket war is always started by Indians (mostly OZ) , If you love cricket and not only your national team then you cant hear Indians saying Sachin is better than Bradman one even said that Gavaskar is better than him , Indians have not stopped calling Symo Monkey or animal from African Forest and I am not talking about OZ only . Indians sometimes can't accept the truth and I Dont think that can ever change . When I praise Aussies then I am traitor and when I praise Pieterson than I am a ***** and I was send a disgusting message by an Indian because I didn't agree with him and said that Peiterson is a good player

See Some Indians can't accept the truth and now I have stopped answering most of the questions asked by Indians because I don't wanna be called traitor and I don't want to read insulting disgusting messages

Answer 5

I hope you're not putting me in the 'kids, voicing opinions which are guarenteed to mislead' category, being 15. I happen to know a lot more about the game and in particular its history than most people I know, many being much older than me. And the only time I am bitter on this section is when others are being unfairly bitter towards others, or being plain stupid.

Answer 6

Everything is wrong with this section..

I dont care what people say but there are that many Aussie haters in here it absolutly stinks.And the ring leader of all of this has a severe racism problem.He has to keep on dragging up things that happened years ago,he has to keep on bashing woman users in here,he has to open up his big god damned mouth everyday..

I can name atleast 6 accounts in here that belong to 1 users..

What Marco said is 100% correct..this was a good place to come,but then OZ! got his little army together to erradicate all good users in here..

Well it is working,i know a few who have left here in the last week,and by the sounds of things there are a fe more leaving today..

Why dont yahooo do something about this constant racism..I dont give a **** if sachin is better than Ponting..I dont give a **** if symonds is a monkey,i just want these racist a******s to go the **** away,and let us get things back to cricket..

Answer 7

I rarely visit this section & reading your question & some of the answers I will continue to avoid it.

If people would just grow up & stop all this racism & childish c**p then maybe this site would get better. That's not going to happen so I'll just keep avoiding it.

Answer 8

face it brother as long Indians will remain in Cricket section stupid questions biased answers and racial comments will continue we can't do anything about it. If your opinion favors India than its good but if it doesn't you are gonna see some nasty things for yourself. May be we need to ask for a moderator   in cricket section from Yahoo who is not Indian and understands cricket who can block stupid questions biased answers and racial comments. I am thinking of writing to Yahoo asking for Moderator you can join me
