But if You had, maybe the post would have been removed. Well, actually I did complain (and thus I am contradicting myself :), but the post was part of a trolling thread which was removed in its entirety, so the moderator got away with that :) > >In this case somebody EMailed the moderators to complain about an insult to a >public company. > >Just because Club Kasparov (or ChessBase or Microsoft) are companies, doesn't >mean people can just insult them as they like. Those insults are still >offensive I agree, but I perceive it as a policy shift as I can't recall having ever seen this kind of moderation before, although I easily could have missed a few cases. But if the moderators want to increase their work load it's not my problem... E.g. can we call specific GMs spineless cowards because they expect computer operators to accept draw offers? This has happened you know... Ralf >> >>This would indicate a much lower level of tolerance to insults >>against non-members...
