Moderator teams consisting of three members and a designated alternate may submit their roster and philosophy now through July 10.
Candidate teams: please designate a leader or spokesman for communication purposes. Each listed team member should individually confirm willingness to serve on the team by sending a note to that effect via e-mail or PM to the TCAdmin mailbox no later than July 10. Teams with unconfirmed members will not be listed in the election poll. The team leader/spokesman should submit a single statement of the team's moderation philosophy by e-mail or PM for posting in this thread. A candidate team listing with confirmation status will be maintained below and updated periodically as submissions are received. (C) indicates I have received personal confirmation from that team member.
No member can sign up for more than one team, including a team running on the other side of the board. Alternates are strictly one-time designated replacements in case a team permanently loses a member during the term; they will not otherwise serve in any moderation capacity.
Election polls will run July 11-14. If no team gains more than 50% of the vote, a run-off election between the top two teams will be held July 15-18. Members who have been registered for at least six months and have contributed a minimum of 40 posts are eligible to participate as candidates and voters.
Thanks,
-Sam-

Moderator Philosophy Statement
for Bob, Steve, and Fern:
The philosophy of this team is simple, clear and it is the following:
We appreciate the use and existence of a common sense approach in
order Not to let tiny, microscopic things to grow out of proportion. We
will not escalate discussions with immoderate moderation actions, but
neither we will leave at will the action of clearly intents of creating
havoc.
We consider that a degree of good humor and sociality not
directly related to chess, but useful to increase our mutual friendship,
must be allowed.
At this time We will allow all links to Ippo and Family engines
in the General forum discussion of the engines should be in whatever forum is appropriate for the topic. If someone is looking at the code and
has a question/comment/observation about something, the programming
forum is the right place. If someone is looking at similarities or differences
with other programs (such as Rybka) then the EO forum is the right
place.
Engine match results should be posted in the Tournament forum.
we will not tolerate members complaining about our allowing of
links or of allowing discussion. We have clearly stated our intentions, and
by voting for this team, you are voting for our moderation
philosophy. If we win the election, clearly the majority agree with our
philosophy and we are going to be unwilling to debate it endlessly.
Suggestions are always welcome, but not repeated complaining.
members complaining will be given a series of warnings resulting
in account deactivation from one week(upon a second warning ) to a
full term ban(upon a third and final warning). Other topics can be debated without other restriction so long as they come from mutual respect and good sense.
We do not intend to be heavy-handed and move or delete posts or
entire threads, or lock entire threads. Instead, we prefer to work with
posters to make sure that their posts follow charter guidelines and are in
the appropriate forum. We would like to encourage posters to follow
guidelines, rather than wrecking the forum with actions that reduce
the ability to participate in or follow discussions. We might suggest
that a post be moved (or reposted) to a more appropriate forum should
someone ask a question that might get more/better answers in an alternate forum.
Post about specific issues, currently sent immediately to an specialized forum by the poster himself or the moderators, will have the chance to stay in the general forum for a while IF the poster so desires by sending the stuff to that general forum. After a while they will be sent to the particular forum adequate to its content. In this way everybody will realize what is going on in any matter related to chess computer, even in somewhat technical and/or specialized lines, and also the discussions in the general forum could be fertilized by serendipity connections. Once that function is accomplished, the specific post will go where it must be.
We will move threads if we receive a legitimate request and the move seems appropriate to facilitate discussions. If a poster seems hell-bent on creating problems, they will be dealt with directly, as opposed
to continually whacking threads apart.
