A tried and true method, if you want to try to amplify your voice beyond its
normal volume, is the "screeching public suicide post".  This tends to cause a
flame thread which bothers the moderators quite a bit, but that's why they get
the big bucks, so feel free if that's what you want to do.

If you want to skip the dramatic public gesture, you can work behind the scenes
by sending email to ccc@icdchess.com and asking Steve to remove your account.
This gives you the opportunity to stab the elected moderators in the back by
going around them and straight to Steve, and it's usually pretty effective,
meaning that it makes Steve pretty upset.

You can also do both, which has an even greater effect.
