I mean, the more tolerant the better. And if you enjoy CCC you may as well do what it takes to make it work properly. Look Fernando: in 8 months we, the current moderators, deleted 3 posts and showed two cards. Not all that much, don't you think? In my opinion it is not such a difficult task. Moderators must take care of whatever is disruptive in a computer chess forum. The basic formula would still be CCC = RGCC - insults, no censorship involved. Enrique
