Feb-14-26  stone free or die: I would like one last item corrected though...

Game Collection: stone free or die is a malicious SOCKPUPPET

Noone should have to put up with this should be obvious. Nor should the target have to fish it out for correction I might add.

  Susan Freeman: Susan Freeman: < stone free or die: OK <Suzz>, I posted a first impression answer to your question and decided to delete it. I saved it, and would repost on request - but I think it best to sit it out for a bit to see if others want to post a reply. I admit there's a need for some delicacy needed, and even a measure of diplomacy (always a challenge given my naturally direct approach).>

Delicacy and diplomacy admittedly was never my forte. I do not know how Daniel acquired that skill.

I've spent my life in the ER and trauma, very tactless milleux. lol

If you wish, send your unedited comment to the CG mailbox. Chess@chessgames.com

In the name of chess, and in the name of Daniel, I am keeping CG alive. This is my grandchild.

There is a difference between contructive criticism and malicious undermining and insubordination, and I can tell the difference.

Feb-14-26  stone free or die:

<<Suzz> There is a difference between contructive criticism and malicious undermining and insubordination, and I can tell the difference.>

Gotta say the usage of <insubordination> caught my eye.

Feb-15-26  Messiah: <Susan Freeman: Just a friendly reminder that this is not the place for bickering between members. I see a lot of "Daniel would have dine it differently". Since he is not around for a refernece, what exactly do those who are in the know suggest I do? Serious question. I am open to suggestions, guys. Yeah, I miss him too.>

I would like to speak directly to the administration. <Susan>, I want to take a moment to say that we still deeply miss your son, Daniel. He was, without a doubt, the best administrator this site has ever had. His fairness and dedication set a high standard, and we haven't forgotten the incredible work he did for this community.

It is exactly because of the standard he set that we need to address the current state of the forum. The repeated behavior of <perfy the neanderthal> (mostly personal attacks), <striptease> (personal attacks, heavy offtopics, being a sockpuppet), and <chrisowen> (spamming gibberish) is severely damaging to this site. They are notorious for constantly violating the community guidelines, and for the health of the forum, they should be b&.

I understand that issuing permanent bans can be a difficult moderation decision. However, if banning them is truly not an option, then we absolutely must see an end to the double standards currently in play. Equal violations must result in equal consequences. If one user gets a posting restriction for breaking a rule, then anyone else doing the same thing should face the exact same restriction, regardless of who they are. Fair, consistent moderation is the only way to keep this a respectful place to discuss chess.

  Susan Freeman: <Messiah> You DO realize that your posting restrictions are nothing personal. You are limited in the number of posts you can *flood the site* with , and this is directly related to the number of members who have you on ignore. It's automatic and was set up bu Daniel. I think it's genius. :)

Thank you for the kind words about Daniel.

Feb-15-26  stone free or die: <Suzz> called it "bickering", but as is oft the case, it wasn't. I really was trying to offer you some sound advice <Messiah>.

Now I don't think it will stick, but I saved the messages and will repost the advice. Try to at least read through it once.

They'll be in a follow-up message. But first...

Your collection is still here - despite what <Suzz> said. It should be slated for deletion, and may in fact already be submitted as a task to <steve>.

Game Collection: stone free or die is a malicious SOCKPUPPET

I did learn something looking at its single commentary:

<and should go AWAY like his owner, perfy.>

This might expect some of your vinegar...

[<CG> please follow up with your word as concerns this collection]

* * * * *

But I'm not a sock of <perf> at all. In fact, he and I sometimes dust it up over at <Doll>. Only <bippie> would push a charade that far!

(I often mock <perf>'s listings on <Doll>, or as some might say, spin new thread from his old yarns)

Given that our writing styles are so clearly distinguishable, it almost beggars belief you'd think I'm a sock of <perf>. But it does explain your behavior, especially your recent behavior towards me.

Feb-15-26  stone free or die: My advice to <Messiah> will follow in the next post - but note that he's restricted to a certain number of posts/day and decides to spend all of them harassing me.

I have a personal stake, and I believe <CG> has the obligation, to end this harassment.

And, for the record, I'll state once again that <Daniel> would never allow such personal attacks and stalking.

Feb-15-26  Messiah: Also, why did you censor my completely ontopic kibitzing from that King's Gambit Accepted game earlier? Now good luck to me to find that game once again.
Feb-15-26  stone free or die: <Messy> what exactly do you think you're going to accomplish?

Neither <perf> nor me are going to get banned.

(Fact - <Daniel> never banned me, not even once. Only the current regime, and only because they're basically confused.)

You're on a restricted number of posts/day and you choose to make the above post, which is hysterical and ineffective.

You've already done the exact same just a few days ago, and a few days before that, and a few days ...

All for nought.

Why don't you go back to targeting Carlsen's losses, or perhaps make a chessic post, or join in a friendly community exchange?

Or are you determined to squander your every post here?

.

Feb-15-26  stone free or die: And, in defense of a long-term <CG> member who never attacks anyone:

* * * * *

<Messy> - I've also tried to explain to you that this poster:

J Sunye Neto vs J A Gandolfi, 1991

isn't attacking anyone, nor is wasting anyone's time.

The ignore feature fits perfectly there.

If you don't like his contributions, turn them off, and neither you nor him will be any the worst.

The reason I can't use the ignore-feature with you is that you're stalking me from forum to forum and basically leaving a trail of droppings behind all my posts.

I could ignore you, but others might not. And it's not fair to me, especially as your sole purpose is to harass and offer zero, and I do mean zero, content. Plus you spread mischaracterizations - I'm not a sock puppet, just an alias.

You're not the first to make personal grievances into a crusade, another did as well - even, (mis-)using chess collections to attack <CG> users, as you have recently done. <Daniel> would never have tolerated that.

To strip it down to the core - can you even articulate a clear criticism?

I don't think you can, you have an axe to grind, and no restraint on your determination to harass.

.

Feb-15-26  stone free or die: PS - If <Messy> can use <striptease> for me, then I insist on using <tertiary> for him.

.

Feb-15-26  stone free or die: <Suzz> well, I tried. I'm sure all the above will get deleted again.

But you'd be doing <Messiah> a favor if you called out his stalking directly, and not hide behind an algorithm.

I really think someone who understood the community would be clear about this, and it would be helpful to the person actually.

Feb-15-26  Messiah: <Susan> what's up? I cannot see the real violators facing consequences. Do you need any help in it?
Feb-15-26  Messiah: Oh, and once again: why did you censor my perfectly ontopic and chess related kibitzing from that wild KGA earlier this day?

Hm?

How come that you censor uninhibitedly whatever I post, but you never stop and penalize the PERSONAL attacks against me?

  Susan Freeman: OK. the nicknames are driving me crazy. Who is striptease, etc? You all sound like a bunch of ole ladies, or kindergartners, I haven't decided which. It's Sunday. Give it a rest.

  MissScarlett: Do you know if the number/nature of ads for non-premium members has increased of late? Is there the facility to manage their number?
Feb-15-26

  Susan Freeman: <MissS> ads have decreased lately. CG is in transition of providers. Curious why you ask.
Feb-15-26

  Susan Freeman: Yes, CG keeps close monitoring of ad clicks.

  Susan Freeman: when CG is not supervising the conflict between certain members, of course.

  MissScarlett: A poster somewhat prone to hyperbole claimed things were getting worse in that regard.
Feb-15-26  stone free or die: <<Suzz> You all sound like a bunch of ole ladies, or kindergartners, I haven't decided which.>

If <Suzz>, <Messiah> and me are in a room there'd be little doubt who the <ole lady> is!

I think I should start giving <Suzz> the same treatment <Messiah> is giving me, and see how long it takes for her to say ça suffit!

.

Feb-15-26  stone free or die: <MissScarlett: Do you know if the number/nature of ads for non-premium members has increased of late? Is there the facility to manage their number?>

Sad case of surrogating.

(Though I do wonder whose number <Missy> wants managing - the ads or the non-premium members?!?)

Feb-16-26  stone free or die: <<sfod> I think I should start giving <Suzz> the same treatment <Messiah> is giving me, and see how long it takes for her to say ça suffit!>

Wonder if this simple point got across?

Naturally I hope so, but I'll assume so long as

Game Collection: stone free or die is a malicious SOCKPUPPET

exists it hasn't.

Will <CG> give an indication at least of when/if this collection gets scrubbed?
