Note that the _only_ posts deleted in the past week were the huge free-for-all that everyone saw. We have _not_ deleted any "chessmaster" tournament posts. We have not threatened to do so. We have not threatened _any_ action toward anybody posting these tournaments. The _only_ thing that has transpired relative to these posts is that I have requested that the subject be more accurate, rather than sensational, so that people can decide whether they want to read them or not basedon the accurate subject line, rather than being based on a misleading subject line. I only made this request after _three_ different members grumbled both here and via moderator email. Had I not been a moderator, I would have grumbled also about the "world cup" topic. So there has been nothing deleted except for the chessbits issue. It would seem that posts have been disappearing right and left. But that simply is not what has happened. The chessbits stuff was deleted after many email complaints to the moderators popped in. And after the three of us discussed it at length and tried the "please stop" approach first. I deleted at least 5 of my own posts when I removed the thread. Didn't bother me a bit as the thread was garbage in the first place. >And I would like to ask Daniel to >please continue his basement tournaments and if he finds something interesting >post it.
