Congrats to the CCC mods. There are a few issues that concern.

Any complaint sent in by the ! button concerning here or the EO forum is displayed in full, together with mod responses on a general mod forum which is open to CTF mods as well. Under normal circumstances this would not perhaps appear a problem, except that I feel it inappropriate to make a ! complaint about a misbehaving CTF mod that can be read immediately, edited, deleted by same misbehaving CTF mod. Is it possible to flag up ! complaints such that they go to forum mods specifically and not mods who are unrelated to the forum in question?

Secondly, you might think this post should be in Help and Suggestions, but, again in that case, I, and possibly others, won't post into that forum for obvious reasons.

Thirdly, all user IP addresses are immediately available to all mods, including those not responsible for the forum one is actually reading or writing to. There are certain individuals I deem it inappropriate to have access to my IP address. Is it actually necessary for mods to have access at all? I can see only bad coming from that knowledge on such a universal and simple basis.


There is also the matter of the forums blatant announement showing the "Users browsing this forum: ", isn't that an invasion of my privacy? If I want to browse talkchess it's nobody's business but my own!

Maybe we can complain about all these human rights infraction to the "American Civil Liberties Union" and get some changes made!

This is way more interesting than the Rybka/ICGA debacle, finally a real cause for the super bored people to take up!!!

Why do you feel the need to ridicule? It may come as a surprise to you, but some people do care about privacy issues even in this internet age.


Because this is beyond ridiculous. The fact that some people care about some particular thing doesn't make that thing so important the world should bend over backwards for them. There is almost no concept that cannot be taken too far or way over done - this is where some degree of reasonableness should come into play.

For example the thought that the moderators will be tracking your movements during your travels around the world and the paranoia that someone will actually write a post about the fear - that is just plain unreasonable. Is it possible to do something like that? I suppose it is, but you had better have a pretty vivid imagination to think about what we are going to do with that information or have a huge EGO to think you are so important that we care and would go to the trouble. I couldn't stop laughing when I read that, I imagined a big map on the wall with pins as we tried to track the movements of some chess forum member by carefully scrutinizing his forum post! Give me a break for calling attention to the fact that something ridiculous is ridiculous.

I have the feeling when someone else than Chris would have addressed similar concerns this topic would have been less loaded.
