Recently I've noted an influx of players who join the board to play the fantasy game.Whilst I welcome new board members, I feel that I'd prefer active board members. However very few of the new members are going to post on the board, which leaves our community open to 'who the **** is that ' syndrome and people winning competitions who aren't active board members. (Ghosters, not posters) To avoid this I've posted new members who join a personal message (see below) and hoped that this encourages posting. I'm rather dubious as to whether this does affect posting , so now I'd like to open the debate to board members.
I'll give you some options.
1) The fantasy game is open to all . Any member can play.
2) Only members with with a certain number of posts can play.
3) Only members with a certain time of membership can play.
4) Only members with with a certain number of posts can play for free, otherwise they pay a fee.
5) Only members with a certain time of membership can play for free, otherwise they pay a fee.
6) Keep posting the PM but include a link to an interesting post (which can change) to stimulate interest
7) Stop sending the PM
8) Close the fantasy game. It's a victim of it's own success
9) Change the game (outline below)
10 Another idea (outline below)
Private message to new memebers (which I send every week to people who join the fantasy game)
Quote:
Hello there! Welcome to World A Team. We are glad you've decided to join us. If you are joining primarily to play our fantasy cricket game, don't forget that World A Team is the home of quality cricketing (and other issues) debate. To be successful at Fantasy Cricket requires a good knowledge of cricket (and some luck). So please share your knowledge in our cricket discussions and let us get to know you. This helps build a community spirit, otherwise, the the board will fill up with strangers not talking to each other. Try to keep your debate on topic and on theme. The 'Members and Guest lounge' is designed for 'non cricket ' debates, the other forums we hope are self explanatory.
If you need any help or advice, don't hesitate to send me (or any mod) a private message , or leave a message on the 'members and guest board' or 'help and feedback' board. We hope you'll enjoy being part of the World-a-Team community.
