In fact, they could, theoretically, go weeks or months without being FORCED (;-)) to read CCC because the "Moderator Email" link on the message board makes EVERY CCC member a "Deputy Moderator". When any member sees a questionable post, he emails a moderator who is then alerted and can access the CCC to make a decision whether or not to take action. - Steve (ICD/Your Move) P.S. CCC nominations are open through Wednesday, June 2. You may send nominations to us at yourmove@icdchess.com
