 | | WannaBe: So, I have held back, and here is a bit of input... Since the announcement and the passing of Daniel Freeman, I've seen what to me, a bunch of squabble going on here. People who have been put on probation before are now acting more brazen(ly). People asking what and who will buy the site, why no new tournament pages are created, or the lack of "Normalcy", etc... I now understand, and can see, how someone's passing (e.g. Steve Jobs, Michael Jackson, Prince) can bring out so much legal issues and such. <ITS A CHESS SITE!!! CHIP IN AND HELP OUT! ITS A COMMUNITY.> That's all I have to say about that, to quote Forrest Gump. |

| Aug-18-18 | | zanzibar: A community has every right to enforce the norms it reaches by consensus upon it's members. Moreover, and even more importantly, <CG> has no obligation to allow unbridled hate messaging - it never did under <Daniel>, who was quite clear about the matter in the rules given to those signing up. I doubt the new management is going to be more lenient than <Daniel> in the matter. . |

Exploiting a tragedy for petty personal self-glorification. |

| | WannaBe: <Z> Looks like we posted around the same time, my previous comments were not aimed/pointed at you. Yes, a community has every right to enforce the norms, however, did we all vote(d) on what/the norm? No, it was more or less a Monarchy(?), albeit benevolent one(?) "Off with that post!!", "Throw that member in the Tower", but only for 7 days... Perhaps a Greek method of ostracism?? |
|
| Aug-18-18 | | zanzibar: <WannaBe> Yes, ultimately, an agreement on certain minimum standards... I think your post prompts me to return to my normal MO. |

 | | Edwin Meijer: Here we go again...
Why don't you <pardon my french> @#$% all off to the kibitzers cafe, or create a seperate forum where you can go at eachother as much as you like. Let me remind you once again; THIS IS THE CG.COM'S MEMBER SUPPORT FORUM! @#$%*!&it |

| | tpstar: <Edwin Meijer> You care so much about the group and this site that you can't wait to get your money back. Would you believe some senior members here remember the old days with no Premium Memberships and no Blow the Whistle? We had to resolve disagreements in real time without Administrator help. Invariably, someone would come along and yell at everyone like you just did, then we would remind them that they just broke the rules themselves. What a convenient double standard. The new management must decide whether this returns to being a Moderated CHESS SITE or else continues this failed social justice experiment, specifically criminal rehabilitation. It is not for us to decide. Meanwhile, they have more important day to day operations which are languishing. You don't know your site history. Good luck telling me when and where and what to post, especially during a criminal case. |

 | | Tabanus: Amen. |
|
| Aug-19-18 | | thegoodanarchist: <zanzibar: A community has every right to enforce the norms it reaches by consensus upon it's members.> There is no consensus for banning anyone.
If banning is even to be considered, I'd say the first ones on the list should be the ones who threaten, or hint at, physical violence. JMTC |
|
| Aug-19-18 | | Keyser Soze: Exactly.
No consensus whatsoever. Just a small bunch of whiners demanding some lousy "purge" based on personal feelings (purge at people they don't get along). |

| Aug-19-18 | | Big Pawn: Clearly the libs can't handle the diversity some of us bring to this community! |

| | Tabanus: <Edwin Meijer> Perhaps you are just another "sockpuppet", created to create hostile discussion (see the following posts). Anyway, know that this site has never been moderated in a real sense. They just pretended to. Multiple handles have been allowed too (unlike e. g. Chess.com). I just asked our Todo person, who says she's has had many handles here, whether she was actually also <luftforlife> who disappeared a couple of years ago. Her answer (if any) does not really count to me any more. In short, I feel betrayed. And expect only "lols" to come. |

| Aug-19-18 | | JimNorCal: Damage report (minor, will fix itself): Game of the Day banner on Home page says Ed Lasker vs Breyer, but actual game features Em Lasker |
|
| Aug-19-18 | | Big Pawn: I think it's cute that <Tabanus> is using <TheFocus'> avatar. It's kind of like a kid who wears his favorite basketball player's outfit everywhere he goes, basically pretending to be him. And what's with these middle aged men who wear these football shirts with numbers on them, like they are on the team? Is that gay or what? They worship these people and dress with their numbers and everything. Somehow, in <Tabanus'> case, I think this expresses the fact that at some unconscious level he deeply admires, and therefore perhaps resents, <TheFocus>. |

| | Tabanus: <MrSpock> asks in the Kibitzer's Café (kibitz #236792), "What's up with this site? Is it not maintained anymore?" My answer to him would be: Log in later until you find another CG or you find it gone. Or else, read the chess news reports. There's nobody left in here to tell the truth. |

| Aug-19-18 | | Keyser Soze: Here we go, the worst rulebreaker of the site <ever> had , <Winston>, doing his 27th jail/rape(?!) threats to another member of the site. Already 4 years sold that.
Nobody is impressed.. Not mr at least.
sorry
And doing that in <this> forum.(!) That I'm not impressed <either> , since the same poster actually <threat the site and the late Webmaster several times>.. I just hope <Sargon> is taking a note of this and read his email threats as well when he catch up in the job. |

| Aug-19-18 | | Keyser Soze: <Big Pawn: I think it's cute that <Tabanus> is using <TheFocus'> avatar> My guess some people are jealous of his new book. Especially <Zanzibar>. I will buy his new book as well <pawn>, that's for sure... |

| | Tabanus: My new avatar is only to tell how horrified I am. <MrSpock> If you are still here (which would be a surprise), this moot site was moderated either according to Mr. Freeman's liking, or according to a right-wing Libertarian agenda. Or both. The result you can see on this very page, where most of the worst culprits are posting. In fact, as it is now, I have nothing better to do here than start trolling myself. In case the new owners decide to continue, I wonder what will happen to the chess-related posts. Some of which contain a lot of information. I suppose the easiest way is to deactivate kibitzing, and say enough is enough. The hard way must be too late already. |

| | Edwin Meijer: <tpstar: <Edwin Meijer> You care so much about the group and this site that you can't wait to get your money back.> You're the one bringing it up again, not me. I allready accepted my eventual loss. But inquiring about a recent $350 purchase seems pretty human to me. Maybe money grows on your back, but not on mine. |
|
| Aug-19-18 | | jith1207: What <Edwin Meijer> asked about any possible refund was a useful question, a reminder about the policy to anyone who has forgot the agreement. Twisting that question as him not caring for the site is ludicrous. A lot less judging and a little bit of understanding will make this community much better, but every sane person could see it has gone too far to even fantasize about it. |

| | Tabanus: I should add there's been a lot of fun. Normal people have interacted in a positive way, when not interrupted by the culprits. Yes, lots of fun. I think this has to do with the ability to kibitz on the player pages, the tournament pages and other fora. And there's been the Puzzle of the day, the Bookie, etc. I think the fun has to do with the very existence of these features. It is them we should be thankful to Mr. Freeman for, rather than his moderation. He was a kind man. |

| Aug-19-18 | | Pyke: Nice post <Tabanus>. It is fun. That's why I am coming back to chessgames.com, time and again. |

After all, it is the <Chessgames Member Support Forum> *****
<Tabanus: I should add there's been a lot of fun. ... we should be thankful to Mr. Freeman for, rather than his moderation. He was a kind man.> Nice post, <Tabanus>. I agree. Which is why I probably had about 8 or 10 years' worth of premium membership since I first registered so many years ago. If <Sargon> can keep it going I will continue to support this site with premium membership purchases. |
