Good morning everyone.

And welcome to the Flaming Bails cricket forum for all your cricket and miscellaneous chat.

Please bear in mind that this isn't just a cricket forum, but a little community, a place for people to hang out and swap sheep jokes. Cricket is our primary source of conversation - our common bond - but no-one is restricted to discussing just that one topic. Pretty much all subjects are open to debate. So knock yourself out.

If you want to create an "official" match thread, give your post an "official" looking header and it'll get stickied at some point.

All the other buttons and things, I'm sure you'll work out along the way.

As with any forum (apart from wehateourselvesandeveryoneelse.com), the tone we aim for is friendly and welcoming. Of course, as members get to know each other more, develop a little "history", things are liable to spice up at points.

This isn't to be discouraged - healthy debates and a little mud slinging make the world go around.

However, members who persistently adopt a hostile attitude, who bait and badger other posters in an attempt to elicit a similarly negative response will be deemed to be stepping over the line of reasonable behaviour.

If you think a post is out of line, or you feel subjected to an unnecessary barrage of abuse maybe you can hire the A Team you can report the issue to the Warden via PM.

Refer to the Welcome Party thread for a more in depth look at the rules and regulations.
