Forum
From CC Wiki
The forum is the place where users can discuss topics that are related to certain clubs and teams in an organised manner.
While looking like an ordinary forum, it actually is built up from the club-specific forums a user is member of. Each club has a forum, on which topics specific to that club are discussed. In the overall forum page, these are bundled for the user to get an overview of all forum posts in clubs one is member of. Due to the fact it is based on the clubs, any subject that has a club dedicated to it can be discussed. A member who joins lots of clubs to do with Minions will have a very Minion-centric forum, and a forum that is very different to someone who joins a lot of TV and Film clubs.

Moderation
The owners of the club/team and members they appoint as Sheriffs can moderate their own forums. The admins (Grrr, Critters, Sencerd) can moderate all forums, and a select few members can moderate the General Discussion and Help and Support forums.
Locked threads
Threads are locked by admins when:
- They are a duplicate of another thread
- They start to stray away from the topic
- The discussion is becoming circular (repeating the same arguments over and over again)
Of course the owner of the club may have their own reasons for locking threads. Admins will do their best to explain why a thread is locked before locking it.
Deleted posts
Posts are deleted by admins when:
- They break any of the Terms of Service or guidelines.
- They are off topic
- Its purpose is to disrupt the thread or change the topic.
Of course the owner of the club may have their own reasons for deleting posts.
CC Forum problems
Forum posts can only be viewed by members of the club the forum is in. This leads to issues with people posting the same topic in different clubs, since there is no central place to post such things. There is a common General discussion club which all members are joined to, but posts about games still get fragmented between this and the official game club.
