Well I have been thinking about it.

It appears to me that being a moderator in this forum is
as much a burden as it is an honour. Most people seem to
prefer not to have to do it.

Additionally, the quality of the moderators has a quite
low effect on the overall S/N ratio in this group. We
have an excellent set of moderators now and still the
discussions seem to get no further than GM strength,
Deep Blue sucks/rules, testposition, trolls, very knowledged
people insulting each other and a lot what I would describe
as 'propaganda'.

For some reason the number of actual interesting technical
discussions (DB yadda yadda doesn't count) is always very
low. Perhaps I am in the wrong group for this, I don't know.

What I do see here is that the actual level of discussion
is often no better than rgcc. Which sortof defeats the
purpose of this group.

So, perhaps it's better to let the people who love their
work get back to actually chessprogramming and let the
rest flame, insult and troll at will.

Perhaps it would be an improvement even.
