I would concentrate on banning people with false names Graham, at least Harry &
Wael are both real and they seem like they are all done anyway.

Funnily enough the original post was about extending human opening theory by
playing games with a knowledge based engine. The result although predictable was
not the point in the first place.

That is why I chose Rybka to play the games.

Like I said, concentrate on the trolls. You need all the real passionate people
you can get. Moderation has a few meanings.

PS Your "team" is a fantasy. You are thrown together and in another election are
thrown apart. Harshly put, but there it is. Teamwork involves agreement and
implementation of progressive policies of which I have seen alot of talk but no
action. I don't think you want to change this place as a "team". Either that or
you have no real power.

You can take a horse to water, but you can't make it drink. Someone else owns
the river Graham. The river is bone dry.
