  MissScarlett: Was <George Wallace> banned for (allegedly) attacking <cg>? If so, why wasn't <Stonehenge> banned for the same (alleged) offence?
Aug-28-22  optimal play: <stone free or die: <OCF> that, and trying to hack the servers.>

Hack the servers?

<MissScarlett: Was <George Wallace> banned for (allegedly) attacking <cg>?>

Attacking CG?

Can Chessgames please provide an explanation for Pawn's latest banishment?

Aug-28-22  Keyser Soze: <Susan> do you have any proof that GW tried to hack the serve.? Everybody knows that <Zanzibar> and his" <z> "socks are much more liked to do that. Expecially because he has programing knowledge...also we were having this kind of problem at the same time <Zanzibar> was at full war against<you> and creating daily socks.

Which army of socks Steve are talking about? I have about 20!!! Socks of "z" on my ignore list.

I m asking you because I don't want to have any talk this new " management".

Btw , I think you are being manipulated on this one..

Aug-28-22  Rdb: Interesting post by <Keyser soze> , defending his buddy <George wallace>/<big pawn> and criticizing <z>

Well, admins had given ultimatum to <z> and he decided to co operate with admins , he complied. Everybody - including <saffuna> , <chancho> et al - cooperted with admins except...who is the guy who did not co operate with admins but instead kept on defying/threatening admins in aggressive/rude/insulting way ? Yes , <george wallace>/<big pawn>

  MissScarlett: <<Susan> do you have any proof that GW tried to hack the serve.? >

Do you think it likely he would have been banned without any?

Question is, if he is responsible as charged, can anyone reasonably argue that he shouldn't be permanently excluded?

  perfidious: <zed> has always been forthright regarding his use of aliases; certainly he has not employed them to sow discord. The poster originally styled <Big Pawn> threatened to unleash innumerable sock puppets some years ago if he were not given his way.

The post by <the boy from brazil> is a canard.

  Willber G: When trying to run an engine analysis on a position I keep getting:

<This site can’t be reached

Windows 7 & Chrome. This has been happening for the past couple of days.

  Susan Freeman: <Keyser> <et al> I am not disclosing the administrative decision process.

Socks per se are ok (to a point), but not to be used to circumvent the rules.

There are good reasons for CG's decisions that would stand in any court of law.

It is not regarding the actual posts,I want to stress, but the security of CG itself that is the sin.

I hope this explains it, keeping the cards close to the vest.

  Knightf7mate: Humor me, please. I saw the word “sock” and thought there was an issue not being admitted to a chess forum because someone wasn’t wearing any….

Then I realized they were talking about sock puppets (using an alias) to sow mischief and discord.

  MissScarlett: May I ask if these are DDoS attacks on the server, or something more invasive?
Aug-28-22  stone free or die: <MissScarlett: Was <George Wallace> banned for (allegedly) attacking <cg>? If so, why wasn't <Stonehenge> banned for the same (alleged) offence?>

Not helpful.

What is it between you and <stoner>?

<Stone>'s case is different in so many ways - clearly he hasn't been anywhere close in systematically attacking <CG> for years.

(Are you carrying a vendetta against him because he suspended you for using the N-word? Admittedly, I'm speculating here, but it's the only reasonable surmise fitting the data that I could come up with.)

Aug-28-22  stone free or die: <Keyser Soze> --

<Susan> do you have any proof that GW tried to hack the serve.?>

If you paid attention you'd know the answer to this question is yes.

<Everybody knows that <Zanzibar> and his" <z> "socks are much more liked to do that. Expecially because he has programing knowledge...also we were having this kind of problem at the same time <Zanzibar> was at full war against<you> and creating daily socks. >

None of above is true. In fact it's outrageously slanderous to the point of violating rule #3.

<KS> knows nothing other than his pal gone booted.

And for the record, let's note that <KS> never complained about the army of socks <bippy> utilized for his nefarious purposes in the past - that was given a free pass.

.

Aug-28-22  stone free or die: Addendum:

<None of above is true. >

Not quite - I do have extensive "programming knowledge".

Aug-28-22  nok: <<Stone>'s case is different in so many ways...>

Simply the best mod CG ever had.

That's a pretty low bar to set. Private site, you can pretty much do as you want. But most people expect fairness. I will note the socks reference has come up repeatedly in this matter, to be addressed after the next point.

<It is not regarding the actual posts,I want to stress, but the security of CG itself that is the sin.>

That's better. But I admit to being a bit bewildered what the references to socks would have to do with anything, including the security of the site.

<I hope this explains it, keeping the cards close to the vest.>

Not really, as your admin plainly suggested that <GW> was guilty of hacking the site, also noted by <Missy> whose comments have been particularly high level throughout this. It's disingenuous now to pretend you won't discuss the matter. In particular, it's plain that there is a personal animus between the admin and the banished kibitzer. Again, I, like most people, am looking for fairness in your dealings. As <Missy> noted, if someone had hacked your site, it's easy to accept banishment. Always, if someone has done something wrong, they should be punished appropriately. But again, I, like most people, am looking for fairness in your dealings.

What is fair? I suggest this as a classic discussion of "just cause".

https://www.massnurses.org/labor-ac....

All the questions that are raging in my head, and others have posted here, are appeals to what are possibly violations of some provisions of just cause as defined in this position paper.

  OhioChessFan: I did think of a way the socks might enter into the equation so you can ignore that point.
Aug-29-22  Rdb: I think after the previous response of <Susan freeman> , these posts of <ohiochessfan> are redundant.

There is nothing else that needs to be said on this subject , i think . Nothing more would come out of this at best and at worst ,conversation would degenerate to back and forth bickering by various people.

Time to move on , i think.

Just saying. Regards
