Will Lee Chong Wei remain World No.1 until the 2012 OG?

maybe those posts need to be posted again so we can see whether they really can affect our day to day lives (if not mistaken, those comments were hanging around for a few days); if they can affect the day to day lives, then i think the problem lies w/the reader(s)...

i trust the mod can determine whether the poster is offensive or not to warrant a ban..
and not solely based on complaints by Bcers....
whether offensive or not...the ban is already imposed....lets learn from here
and be nice in our future posts.....

Quite surprised that experienced ctjcad has continued with off topic matters in this thread.

Anyway, this post might remind us of minor-vs-major issues.

True. Physical harm cannot be inflicted via BadmintonCentral. But psychological harm can be. There is definitely no need to have psychological harassment at BC.

Also true that we live in a competitive world. But BadmintonCentral is not created for us to be competitive. And we don't need to have bullies and victims here.

Just get back to the topic, ladies and gentlemen

Lee Chong Wei won the 2010 Indonesia Open 2 days ago.

Chong Wei LEE [1] defeated Taufik HIDAYAT [2] 21-19, 21-8 in 37 mins.

Looks like LCW will still be ranked as World No.1 for the next few months.

not only for next few month
atleast until all england 2011

**undeadshot** · 06-29-2010, 04:14 AM

Quite tough to see anyone going to snatch the World No.1 title next year if LCW can keep having this kind of performance. 2008, there were many doubters. But now, many would just say he is only second to Lin Dan currently.

Next year is OG qualification. LD & other China(since they are not participating much this year) need to participate as much as possible to gain OG pts.

Possible but not easy....

If badadum really did get banned for this comment, then I am honestly disappointed by the mods for these forums.

Badadum did not mention anything that can be considered a "personal attack"; what he mentioned was merely facts.

You simply cannot decide to ban a person just because he/she decided to voice his/her opinion that does not go smoothly with the majority. Mods are suppose to keep the forums clean from personal attacks; not be dictators and control what type of opinion is acceptable and what isn't.

This is simply a violation for freedom of speech; nothing more, nothing less.

..anything can happen between next yr and 2012..LCW could stay as no.1 or drop in ranking..

..also, if i am not mistaken, DLCW was WR#1 in 2006 for some periods (though not as long as now); that's about 2 yrs before the (2008) OG. Just like what we're seeing now.
But realizing next yr is the OG qualification period, i wouldn't be surprised if it's gonna be dejavu all over again like from 2007-2008 where LD and the other CHN players participated in a lot of tourneys just to setup their rankings, seedings for the 2008 OG.
OTOH, since the 2012 OG won't be held in China, my feeling is there will be less stress from the CHN camp to really go all out and secure any of their top players get that no.1 WR. IOW, they will participate in as many needed tourneys just to get at least 3 of their MS players in (4 would be nice, i'm sure).
My feeling is, from now on they just want to "reserve" LD and the other CHN MS players for OG 2012. Even if none reaches WR#1 by the deadline for qualification period. But they will try to get as many of their top players qualified to be in that top bracket (top 4 WR).

Another note to share. Basically starting from the Sudirman Cup tourney onward til the 2012 T&UC:
"Qualification period

The BWF ranking list of 3 May 2012 will be based on results during the period 2 May 2011- 29 April 2012"

A member association with its players in the top 4 WR will get 3 players max. (singles).

*btw, Topspin, i didn't know badadum got banned?? how did you know?..or maybe it's that kish-ash member you're referring to??..

**madbad** · 06-29-2010, 03:40 PM

badadum got banned, really? Perhaps he can confirm

This is good for newer players wishing to participate in the 2012 OG: The BWF ranking list of 3 May 2012 will be based on latest results.

What does that badadum got banned from this forum got to do with this thread? Furthermore, how did you know that he got banned or something?

How can one post to confirm when one is banned?

It's better not to talk about who like or dislike Lee Chong Wei, but to talk about who can displace Lee Chong Wei as World No.1 before the 2012 Olympics.

two things:

- badadum was not banned.

- don't abuse the idea of "freedom of speech". freedom of speech is not guaranteed in a private forum like this. 1st Amendment right for freedom of speech only applies to government agencies. it does not apply to private forum like BC.
