There are borderline posts that some may find within reason on the topic of computer chess such as the FIDE ratings. But a joke which contains elements of different positions of sexual intercourse cannot within anyone's reasoning be considered on the topic of computer chess. And quite frankly, I doubt very much that you or anyone else voted Fernando and his moderation policy in on the assumption that on topic would include this. You may have voted him in to be lenient about it, but do you really consider it to be on topic? So, I answered your original question of how the charter was violated and you respond with who defines within reason. Quite frankly, the answer to that is that the moderators decide. In this particular case, do you consider the joke to be on topic? Do you consider that reposting it does not violate the charter about the moderator actions being final? Please answer these two questions with a simple yes or no and try not to play the semantics game. I know it is more fun, but it doesn't resolve anything. Either the posts were inappropriate according to the charter or they were not. Either reposting in Spanish was inappropriate according to the charter or it was not. Which is it? KarinsDad :)
