I Must Revise MY Opinion on Ryan Narine

[mapoui]

Mappy ...

as a moderator, I will not allow the endorsement of a known dictator on this board I don't want the bossman to tek away my lil privileges eh

you might get a call from Idi stay by the phone.

I dont have a phone bally. he would have to take a flight and come see mih.

look jason what are the criteria for a successful message board?

how far do we have to go beyond the obvious to ansah dat question?

WHAT IS THE TRAFFIC ON SISSY,COM? that is all we have to ask relative to other cricket boards. and what is the level of the content on sissy.com?

I have been on Indian boards, westindian boards, saffie boads, english boards, cricinfo....and none are better than sissy...or of a higher level of discussion etc.

and accessibility is another matter altogether. the westndian boards are excellent for yu can join and be part of the discussion right away. on cricinfor you have to post and over a few days the moderator gets to your post and approves it or not.

sissy has tightened up but i imagine it still takes a few minutes.

but based on my experience of cricket boards the westindian boards are best and sissy is way above all the westindian boards with high traffic for a region as small as ours.

it is my contention jason mewsarshe, that sissy.com relatively speaking is a fine board, doing well in a very small situation. its content and debate is of a high quality relative to its subject matter, comparable to or higher than all other publictions of its type i know.

relative to my subject of revising a previous opinion of mine, the business organisation, criticism of it and the potential expansionary possibilities of sissy.com is of no concern to me here.

if I wanted to talk about that... which I dont... I would have started a different thread. I simply and publicly wanted to take back my previous denounciation of Narine as a totally negative rarse in the westindian equation. thats all.

all allyuh mba's can attack sissy to allyuh hearts content! I have given my opinion based on my general experience. all of you including Jason, who no doubt has precise answers and numbers to the questions he asked me, can expand sissy all allyuh want. I dont care to do that! its not my board

Sissy forum is an embarrassment to all West Indians... Do you want to be judged by the filth in that forum? You have people cursing each other out, about em mother dis, etc...tek a closer look Maps.

How many decent posters @ sissy would want their kids/spouse to read the content in that cesspool? Sissy posters please feel free to share your opinions if you are not gagged.

Mr BallOil,

I have only had the opportunity to visit CC.com on about 20 odd occasions ,thus my comment the topics are very poor ,the discussions are insular ,personal and way off what the thread asks about.

I can see why the vulgar language based on idiotic personal attacks .In reference I saw opportunities
wasted on personal attacks rather than have a knowledgeable debate.It just takes one stupid statement by
one poster and that individual becomes labeled and its repeated in debates when cornered.

The Thread topics are mind boggling , I wouldn't mentioned some .The Chinese have a saying " Water rises to its own level " .

If this is the most popular site for West Indians ,it says a lot about us doesn't it ?. It is run like when Burnham ran Guyana . My friends ,my favourite islanders and ban anyone with intelligence .
The comments from members tells the story of posters that have been banned who had the board humming. It's difficult to allow a plant to grow wild then when its 30 ft tall try to reshape it . Poor Management.

I fail to see how this individual can be praise ,if this is referred as a success we have a poor understand what that word really means.

Then again I am new to such sites.

Mushi...I see you and Mapoui hit it off already

BTW, Nice response here... you can't grow when mgmt stiffing the discussions or morons taking over threads. It's a mad house...!

Mappy claimed that he only went there 2 or 3 times in couple years and he changed his mind about sissy

Maps...given the limited visits in the 2 yrs period, is that enough data for you to come this conclusion?

yes!

I knew sissy a long time before those 2 years. I know the type and quality of the discussion you talk about. but thats not all there is to sissy.

a lot of the debate is classy. and the front page often is. and when you post comments and article like that of professor hinds you are doing a service to the region.

hinds cannot possibly be right about darren sammy as captain even if a lot of the qualities he attributes to the young man are true. and i belive they are true of sammy.

but the question of sammys tactical acumen on the field is yet to be answered, for sammy would have to be one hell of a captain to overide all the seeming nagatives in his appoinment.

as I have proven on another thread sammy cannot be maintianed at the expense of better players which would be equal to weakening the westindies side. sammys captaincy would have to make up that weakenss and go past it by a sucessful margin..winning tests matches...to balance the situation out. and or chaning into its oposite the current loser culture around the westindies side.

even if westindies lose under sammy he must get the side to play as a team approaching its full potential at most times..

but the digression aside, articles like Hinds' stimulates the intellectual palate and takes the debate forward.

and such articles do not end up limited to the subject at hand but ranges wide and leaves one with a better appreciation of the totality of the subject matter.

I am not concerned about the family site bizness and protecting children, wives and girlfriends from stuff.

all that is untennable, nonsense, to me. to world is full of life and the earlier faced and known to an individual is the longer that individual live,s not in linear terms but in social terms. whats the point of hiding people away from stuff,life, bullshit or othetrwise/

sissy is a good site and as such a contribution to the state of things that cannot be said to be negative. thats all. prove me wrong that even a jackass debate can lead to a postive one...and without the jackass debate we would not have gotten to the postive one at all?

Mapoui asks

This is my opinion and I am not casting it in stone.

A message board must reflect the Community and its concerns .

If a thread is posted ,stay within reasons of the topic.Try and avoid personal attacks .Moderator can stop them immediately ,by time outs.

With so many islands ,insularity and emotional attachment will be present ,but it can be done in a mature way .

Some posters are serious about discussions ,others jovial . Highlight them so all understand.

Bantering and teasing will always be present , moderator cuts in before slugfests starts.

Individuals should not be banned a 3 day time out ,no posting privileges. It increases with each time out.

Have posters feel they belong ,so it feels like a community project ,just think if a Forum has a few
hundred members and collectively with one voice write for changes in that sport ,the administrators
will listen .

The board you speak highly off don't have this voice to be heard ,its my friends, then others then banned
posters. Some islanders feel they have no say and to highlight the problem the Admin call posters "Trolls".
Amazing.I fail to comprehend why Admin has this superior attitude ,its my cricket ball and I am going home
so nobody get to play. Very sad .

Ask members about what changes they would like to see . They are the ones who will make that forum grow and be successful .

These are some of the ideas I would like to see.
