Hi Alvaro,

the CCC forum (Computer Chess Forum) is to discuss computer chess. That's fairly
obvious in the title. That gives a very wide scope, in my opinion anything
related to computer chess. Reading the charter is recommended.
Off topic subjects should really be posted in the CTF forum.
Posts to do with piracy get deleted with the perpetrator receiving a strong
warning or worse.
I delete posts that are overtly abusive or disrespectful. In such cases the
perpetrators receive an email from me requesting more restraint in future posts.
The moderators work as a team. That does not necessarily mean unanimous
agreement in all situations. Sometimes immediate action is deemed necessary by a
moderator and they have to make a judgement call.
No system is perfect and no moderator is perfect. Any discussions that we carry
out with each other are in private.
Hope that helps - probably not!   :-)

Regards, Graham.
