(It would also put a strain on the moderators. No doubt an appeals mechanism would be needed too.). Post can be removed after the event and the poster punished (by being banned) when necessary - or the community simply ignoring the poster. Other forums I have seen have themed headings for posts, which would be nice in my opinion. For example: About chess programming. About chess programs. Tournaments. Puzzles (What does your computer think of this.). Fan-boy posts. (Almost) nothing to do with chess (programming) at all. Trolls. And so on. Frank
