Not at all. This is not about 3rd party posters posting about vendors - this is
about vendor spamming here in a stealth fashion in a direct violation of CCC
Charter.  Since they do not respect our  Charter and ignore our requests to stop
,their organization is not welcome to post (spam) about themselves.  This is
specific actiion taken against a chess vendor does not care about our rules or
about you as member of CCC.

This is not about free speech either - ChessCentral is free to set up there own
Chess Forum at their own expense to promote their own products.  This is  aclub
where all memebers have specific priviliges.  If you violate the Charter, you
may lose your priviliges.  Please keep mind that all the expenses for our club
are paid for by another vendor , ICD/Your Move and CHess.  ICD gets a link here
and there and that's it.
