You might read >Amir Ban's post, as well. The following is meant to state a point of view, rather than to sound shrill and argumentatitive. I think that each crew of moderators can define their decision making process however they want. It is possible that 2/3 would not be enough if they agree to operate on a consensus basis. It is possible that 1/3 is enough if they agree that any moderator can delete any post. It is possible that 1/1 is enough if they agree that one moderator will have total control over post deletion for some period of time. It doesn't do much good to say that the moderators must behave in accordance with some particular system that a random member might invent. There is no externally imposed system at this point. >Moreover, it costs only a little bit of HTML code and text to do it, and the >information return on the investment is tremendous, and the time could not more >opportune. > >I say use Fernando's post as the acid test of what should be allowed and let the >CCC members speak for what they want... I don't know how it's going to turn out, >but either way, it gives the moderators a mandate for moderating. If someone wants to do a vote about whether we should have dirty jokes here, and use that one as a specific example (it'd have to be put somewhere that people can see it), that'd be fine with me. I'd be interested in seeing what came of that. I'd also post a few other examples: 1) "Here are the results of some particular human tournament, and some games". 2) "Can someone recommend a book on beginning tactics?" 3) "Does drinking coffee before a chess game improve your play?" 4) "Merry Christmas" (assuming that it's approximately December 25th). 5) "Is the warp drive in Star Trek feasible? How might such a warp drive work?" 6) "Is Pamela Anderson Lee more appealing with or without the implants?" 7) "Does anyone know what Bobby Fischer is up to?" If this is going to be done, I would like to see that members can choose whether they want to see any amount of posts similar to any of the above, a little from time to time, or none whatsoever. bruce bruce
