English Chess Forum

For the record no moderation has ever occurred on this forum and hopefully never will

However if moderation was "applied" a detailed account of what, where and why would be given by me personally with nothing held back

Hope that is clear!

I agree, more to follow...

Some moderation was applied by Chris Majer as the other member of the moderators group

When does moderation become censorship?

I expect that Chris at some point will clarify what, where and why some moderation was applied in this paricular case

I'm still waiting to find out what happened in John Uphamgate

well since carl is the forum dictator, censorship is necessary - cant have anyone trying to rise up against him

Not 100% sure what you are referring to be honest?

I removed this joke, or some variant of it from the Chess Sets In Schools thread, on the grounds that it was off-topic, a very old joke, and the subject of a complaint.

Would it have been easier just to relocate it? I found it quite funny, if you say the first post final year spellings out loud, it sounds very german...

But where's the chess? I back Jack on this - otherwise we all finish putting anything we find funny on this site - don't we. Then we get links to all sorts of irrelevant sites - which happens on a lot of similar forums.

I know what you are saying, but it could have been placed in a more relevant section perhaps...?

And there is a place for links on this site anyway, so would that really be a problem?
