Do you recall that we decided (all the moderators) that discussions about
moderation were fine, but not discussions about a decision to delete a message?

its hard to discuss problems of moderation without being allowed to cite
specific evidence. on the other hand, moderation discussions are not computer
chess related so they should be deleted. hmm maybe a compromise could be to send
all deleted messages (non cc related) to another forum. when a mod makes a
deletion, we can all see and judge the situation for ourselves.
