My fellow mods are quite happy allowing links, so unless they have a change of heart, they'll remain.

Cheers,
Graham.
Until Vasik mans up and prove his source code to be stolen,which I strongly doubt,there is no need to delete links....so your fellow moderators are doing just fine :D

Quite right. Ignore the Charter, it is a waste of time.

Christopher, you know I love you.

Now that we have that settled, I have to disagree with your interpretation. I believe that Point 5 refers to the legal status of the post, not the legality of the subject of the post.
Once a member gains access to the message board, he may read all messages and post new or response messages with the proviso that these new or response messages:

1. Are, within reason, on the topic of computer chess
2. Are not abusive in nature
3. Do not contain personal and/or libelous attacks on others
4. Are not flagrant commercial exhortations
5. Are not of questionable legal status.
There's a fine line between a post and a signature.

Chris,

the CCC is not difficult to moderate if you stay in the CTF.

Thanks for your cooperation,
Matthias.
My engine was quite strong till I added knowledge to it.

I didn't claim that it made any sense, only that it's worded that way.

Doubtful on both counts. If you can make up a Charter so can we.

So really it means nothing?

Everything is legal....right?

If you don't know/or cannot decide what is questionable, everything must be unquestionable....right?

Means anyone could do anything. Talk about rigged votes etc.....no?
