  Check It Out: A number of folks with their terrible words etched in Rogoff are breathing a sigh of relief.

  Check It Out: More importantly, where are Rogoff's games?

  Check It Out: A ha! Found it, with his last name misspelled:

Kenneth Rogof

"Aaaaaaahhh..."

Jun-28-22  Rdb: <saffuna: Rogoff has become a non-person>

All your fault , <saffuna> - you should not have posted about congressional hearing. It was very tough to read.

And rumor is that tomorrow's hearing going to be very devastating , there was no other way to stop you

Jun-28-22  Cheapo by the Dozen: I'm a free speech extremist, but that's centered on the communication of ideas. If a private organization just wants to limit the form of expression (no swearwords, no spam, etc.), I may or may not roll my eyes, but I'll usually support their right to enforce such a rule.
Jun-28-22  Rdb: <OhioChessFan: I'll cry myself to sleep tonight>

Lucky you . There are others who would likely have several sleepless nights - man who would be emperor , for example. He was so close to be emperor , but for the whims of cg.com admins, now...

Jun-28-22  George Wallace: I see <Susan> has finally taken my advice and deleted the Rogoff page. Now the many Rogoff posters are forced out of their home - hey, this reminds me of something.

<My name is Legion: for we are many. 10And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country. 11Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding. 12And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them. 13And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand;) and were choked in the sea.>

  perfidious: What will the poster with those autocratic tendencies do now? Run for office?
Jun-28-22  George Wallace: Maybe it was a hack? Someone got into the SQL database and did some rearranging?

After all, who would create a new Rogoff page by misspelling his name with one "f"? That's suspicious because, well, it's so idiotic that I can't believe anyone who is a member of the staff here would do that on purpose.

Anyhow, what's the plan now?

1. Politics infests the whole website, resulting in moderators having to constantly chase it down, delete it, and enter into a whole new level of regulation? That's like a brand new full time job!

2. A "Politics" or "off-topic" discussion page is created so as to act as a bug light?

3. A "politics page" that only premium members can post on?

4. A new and improved discussion page updated with the ability to post images?

5. An Elite Posters page: no trolling, only serious, substantive and insightful commentary allowed?

  al wazir: <OhioChessFan: Oh wow, is Rogoff deleted?> The "Search thread" tool is gone too.

If CG wanted to change the spelling for whatever reason, there's a perfectly good alternative transliteration from Russian "Рогов": Rogov (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogov).

I'm really, really glad I renewed my Premium membership for just one year.

With <george wallace> the arbiter, of course.

  gezafan: The Rogoff page appears to have been deleted. Does anyone know the official reason for this?

I liked it because you actually had free speech to say what you wanted.

Jun-28-22  George Wallace: <gezafan>, if the free speech zone of CG is gone, I’ll spin up a new website that the regulars will be free to use in place of Rogoff.

The posting will be serious, substantive and insightful.

  Check It Out: <George> You already spun that website up, remember? It failed.
Jun-28-22  Z free or die: What a tangled web we spin...

Jun-28-22  Z free or die: You know, <Tab> did say something or another about renovating the bathroom...

Hark, what giant sucking sound thru yonder forum break?

Jun-28-22  George Wallace: < already spun that website up, remember? It failed.>

Nonsense. The Pink Pussyhat Antifa Nazi that was censoring free speech on the Rogoff and banning posters based on politics was KICKED TO THE CURB.

Therefore there was no need for another free speech zone.

Jesus..I wonder what <saffuna> and <nok> will do with their lives from now on..
