The use and abuse of BadmintonCentral

This thread to discuss why we are here at BadmintonCentral.
We all have different reasons why we are here at BadmintonCentral.

Sometimes our negative comments can bring out positive concepts/thoughts from our BCers. And sometimes, our positive comments can bring out negative concepts/thoughts as well.

Some BCers think of contributing to our forum, for example, giving us;
* Links where we can get more info
* News about Badminton players/tournaments
* Reports/Results from tournaments
* Info on Laws of Badminton
* Info on how to improve our games
* Places where to play Badminton
* Reviews on equipment
etc, ......

Some BCers think of using our forum to find info that has not been provided.
Some BCers question how/where our beloved Badminton is heading.
Some BCers are here for friendly chit-chats.

In all of the above, BC is providing us with a wonderful site to be involved in.


Unfortunately, some BCers think differently. They have very different opinions. They get into personal attacks towards other BCers. Here are some examples;
* My idol player is better than yours
* Your National Association is hopeless
* My argument/opinion has more substance than yours
* Don't read/reply my post if you don't agree with me
* Your English in your posts is of low standard
* If you don't understand what I'm saying, there must be something wrong with you
etc, ......

Seriously, we don't need have personal attacks towards other BCers just because we have different opinions/ideas.

Peace

[LD rules!]

agree with all the above there is no need for personal attacks ANYWHERE not just BC
Peace

Agree with everything you said. Add belittling professional players into you examples will make the list looks much more complete. Some BCers think that they know what competitive badminton is and make fun of certain players when those players did not perform to what they expected. IMHO, this sort of "elitist attitude" certainly does not make one comfortable, nor do I think that spreading the propaganda that "players from xxx-country suck and they should quit for good" is a healthy practice. The best part is those armchair critics are not even involve or contribute to competitive badminton(not coach, players, sport psychiatrist etc...) in anyway and they think that they are qualified to give their comments. Sometimes those ridiculous claims and comments really make you laugh.

Agree.

Why do some BCers post here to attack professional players/coaches? It's incomprehensible.

Do they also not know that professional players/coaches do read our posts/threads at BadmintonCentral? Belittling professional players/coaches here at BC is a BIG NO, NO.

The aim of this thread is to say:
Please don't use BadmintonCentral as a vehicle to attack other BCers who are fans of different players. And also, don't belittle players, coaches and countries/national associations.

Many guests (fans, players, coaches, officials, etc...) do read our BC forums.

Just remember... those that can - DO, those that can't - CRITIQUE.

That's the way of life and quite frankly we all do it to some extent.

I have to agree that some of the "discussions" become a little to heated. Nothing wrong with that as long as they remain civil. As soon as you resort to personal attacks you've pretty much stated that you have no further logical arguments to make.

Sorry, don't have enough time to moderate though.
By the way, discussions have been made previously. Read Post #99 onwards; in this thread .

"IMHO, an 'Insensible Posting' is a post intended to attack another member personally, instead of talking about the issue......"

Still believing that if we can avoid using "I" or "you" in our posts, we can remove any element of a personal attack/conflict. It can help us to remain on-topic.

true very true we can't attack each other because of different opinion/ideas and hope all parties (fans, players, coaches, national asso etc) do read our forum as they may learn something...

Only if we BCers can give constructive comments though. Otherwise, they won't read us anymore.

Quite often we tend to forget that BC is a public forum.

We tend to assume that we are in a little world of our own, like some 'Private-Members-Log-In-Only Websites'.

drifit, Hope you are not trying to get us off-topic?

[drifit]

that is not off-topic. try spend some time in equipment sections. same style of argument presented by YOU! "* My idol player is better than yours"

[george@chongwei]

So what are you waiting to do to that particular member?

Seriously drifit, Very often we read a post bashing some equipments/BC members/professional players/coaches, etc... , but at the end of the post, saying "Just Joking Only".

How do admin/moderators treat this type of posters?
.

[limsy]

if they are not too over
let them be
maybe they just face some failure in their life and need to express their anger/disapointment or whatsoever
