Congratulations to the new moderators

[M ANSARI]

Yes congratulations to all. Hopefully we can discuss legitimate engines for a change ... all the clone BS was getting a little too much.

Do you think it will change? All "sober" threads is getting turned into clone-talk.

Congratulations to the new mods. Lets hope they will do a wonderful job cleaning up the links to the piracy site which has just posted here lately...

[Damir]

Congratulations Matthias, Swami, and Graham

Please may we have a cleaner forum

Maybe we should have a referendum on whether robbo/ippo etc.. links should be allowed in the forum - same voting restrictions as the moderation election.

If you don't like the discussions you are welcomed to move here:

The election here was mainly about whether or not robbo/ippo etc.. links should be allowed?
You are welcome to vote in 6 months for new moderators, or keep the one that are elected now. It is up to you. But the matter whether Ippo/Robbo links should be allowed has been settled....

Has it been? I believe that Swaminathan and Matthias are ok with them, while Graham is not.

Hi Jeremy

You said it yourself. It is majority which decides... 2 vs 1, so not much he can do about it. If he does not like it, he can step down, and let you take over his place, as you come right after him...

The CCC members elected a team of moderators who represent a true cross section of the membership
a team with varying views on the issues of the day and very importantly the team includes a Fine ..current day.. Chess programmer(Engines and Gui's)

a solid team whom i hopeful will work together for the forums benefit
in stark contrast we can see the reactions of some who have lost..

as members lets support the new team and give them a chance to work out some immediately compelling issues out..
such as the status of those currently under ban..

Regards

I share your hope that there will be a balanced approach to moderation on both sides of the board; I will certainly push for it in CTF.

Bans apply during the term in which they are issued, so everyone is starting with a clean slate today.

Correct interpretation.
In fact, our electoral campaign was made on that bases, and it had 66.66% of sucess. We almost managed to get 100%.

But we should not subestimate Banks group. A year ago Banks was a leader of the "mob" rising against other two moderators, Chris Wittington and Swami, and with the help of the administrator they made a coup d'état. That's was all member must be carefull and keep an eye on GB and his group activities (Conkie, Skiner, Diosi at al.)

Apparently a given mob, coup, campaign, or conspiracy is only bad if you are not a part of it.
