Forgive me if I am wrong, but when I joined this club I agreed to follow a charter, and it is up to the moderators to follow this charter, and if they do not then they should not be moderators. Now I have no idea what is going on here, but I see a whole lot of crap, which I must say when I read the charter should not be on here. I have posted the charter and you will all read it, and please take careful note of the five points given in the charter --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Computer-Chess Club is a free service that has been set up by a group of individuals who became concerned with the persistent breaches of netiquette occurring on the newsgroup, rec.games.chess.computer, namely a very high level of off-topic posts and a very high level of personal insults and abuse. It was felt that a group where a full range of computer chess ideas could be discussed, and, if necessary attacked, without also making personal attacks on the deliverer of the ideas, would be productive, and might well encourage various well-known figures who were no longer posting in rec.games.chess.computer to return to the arena of discussion without fear of insult or abuse. Thus, the Computer-Chess Club is a moderated message board which is open to the general public (known as "members"). Its purpose is to allow the members to disseminate and exchange information as it pertains to computer chess without the distractions of personal attacks and off-topic posts. Once a member gains access to the message board, he may read all messages and post new or response messages with the proviso that these new or response messages: 1. Are, within reason, on the topic of computer chess 2. Are not abusive in nature 3. Do not contain personal and/or libelous attacks on others 4. Are not flagrant commercial exhortations 5. Are not of questionable legal status. A panel of moderators has the power to erase specific messages that violate the spirit of the charter of the Computer-Chess Club, and to take, if necessary, suitable sanctions against offenders. Members of the Computer-Chess Club are solely responsible for their own posts on the CCC Message Board. The only recourse members have against any legally dubious or abusive material is to ask and assist the moderators in identifying any such material so that it may be removed swiftly. The posts on the Computer-Chess Club message board do not necessarily agree (nor disagree) with the opinions of Your Move Chess & Games, I.C.D. Corporation, or Computer Chess Reports, and these companies do not control, and have no say in, what is posted or how it is posted. Nor do any of these organizations have any say or control over decisions made by the moderators. By filling out and submitting the sign-up form, you are agreeing to abide by all of the conditions set forth above, and you are waiving any and all rights of litigation against those organizations listed above or the moderators of the CCC message board for any messages that may appear within or for taking any sanction against any member. You are further agreeing to abide by the decision of the moderators should a post of yours be deleted and/or if you should lose your membership privileges after due consideration of the moderators. You also will be agreeing that the decision of the moderators is final. If you agree to all of the terms set forth above, please fill out the sign-up form on the next page. Upon acceptance of your application a password will be sent to you by return e-mail. Normally this procedure will take no more than a few seconds. Thank you and we look forward to your contributions Computer-Chess Club. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now would someone please get rid of all that personal bickering on this message board, it does not belong here in my opinion, if you want to leave then you just email the person to take your name off and leave, not get on here and post a message that you know will only cause alot more comment. I did not join for this, and I am sure alot of other people did not join for this either. Regards Micheal
