There's probably not much one can do about that.

I guess this somewhat violates the "Are not flagrant commercial exhortations" part of the charter, but I wouldn't really be too worried about it. If they post it several times in several threads, I'd think about doing something. >4) Someone consistently posts abusive messages, and it seems to be impossible to >get them to stop doing this. A vacation would be in order. If this behavior continues upon their return, maybe they don't belong here. >5) Someone complains to you via moderator email about a post that contains a lot >of content but includes the line, "at this point black blundered with 29. ... >hxg5 and got the shit kicked out of it." I know a lot of people are touchy about these things, and I myself would prefer that it was worded more 'nicely', but I don't think I'd do anything about it. Everyone has heard all those '4-letter words' before, and it really doesn't hurt anyone in this context. >I would like to ask a couple of other questions: > >1) On a scale of one to ten, where one is super-tolerant, and ten is completely >intolerant, how tolerant are you of off-topic posts? 5. I don't mind the occasional off-topic thread, but I don't want to see them excessively. >2) Are you capable of getting rid of someone who seems to be here to cause >trouble? Definitely. Jeremiah
