Maybe I am missing your point here in regard to the Chessmaster example. Now
anything regarding chessmaster, or for that matter and other chess program. What
would you consider off-topic.

So when you say, "would I delete them or inject moderator suggestions that they
be stopped ? No", why would this example even regard even thinking that kind of
action to be taken ?

To posting endless games between personalities or asking for settings for
chessmaster, I consider this to be perfectly on topic for this forum.

Maybe you are showing your point to the extreme to put across your view, if that
is the case then I can understand that.

But just because someone does not like a post or thread regarding a certain
topic, does not make that off-topic.

To me off-topic is anything not regarding computer chess. So I am just confused
by your point you are trying to put across. Chessmaster is on topic, if not, can
you explain any past posts which would differ in this opinion. No need to dig
any up, just of what you remember would be fine.

Thanks
