| Oct-01-22 | | ZoboBear 000000001: <<pete> Hello Z, We will be emailing you regarding this. Sorry for the inconvenience.> But I don't really do email with <CG> (look at what happened to Dlugy with email for <chess.com>). I prefer to discuss this issue in public, above the table sort of speak. Can we determine publicly who deleted the post and which posting guideline was violated? I strongly believe no posting guideline was violated - and I believe there should be some review of such a deletion in such a case. Thanks. |

| Oct-01-22 | | ZoboBear 000000001: In reply to a simple yes/no question:
<MissScarlett: User: not not> Too clever by half, and can I say rather cryptic? It does suggest a 9th guideline though:
<9. No degrading Chessgames members by the staff/volunteers> . |
|
Oct-01-22
 | | Susan Freeman: And how were you degraded? I want a full explanation. Lol |
|
| Oct-01-22 | | ZoboBear 000000001: You don't think 8 & 9 make a good pairing?
It takes two to not, not, what, what!
LOL! |

(reread your question) |
|
| Oct-01-22 | | ZoboBear 000000001: <dice> Thanks for point that out. As I've said, my slip-ups are generally boring, but sometimes (wait for it...) ! Not not? Who's there? |

 | | Willber G: <ZoboBear 000000001: In reply to a simple yes/no question: <MissScarlett: User: not not> Too clever by half, and can I say rather cryptic?> It's perfectly clear. The answer <not not> is a double <negative> resulting in a <positive>, meaning <MissS> DID delete your post. |

| Oct-01-22 | | ZoboBear 000000001: OK, chuckle. Or not chuckle. Or not not chuckle ad infinitum! |

 | | petemcd85: <ZoboBear 000000001: I would like an explanation please.> <That post had good content - and a very measured tone.>
I apologize. After reviewing the post maybe it shouldn't have been deleted. Reason for deletion:
<Can we determine publicly who deleted the post and which posting guideline was violated?>
The reason for the deletion was because there've been several complaints about your aliases being used to "troll". The deleted post being one. <Z> Another thing that has been brought to our attention is the amount of aliases you have, it makes it difficult to put you on the ignore list when you have 50+ aliases - To prevent this from being a problem we are limiting users' to 3 aliases. So please, if you have more than three aliases. Let us know which ones you'd like to keep and the rest will be muzzled. - For users that are constantly having problems with each other, we are also considering implementing a "Mandatory Ignore LIst" to further help prevent conflicts. |

|
Oct-01-22
| | Susan Freeman: <OCF > why terrible? |
|
| Oct-02-22 | | optimal play: <... we are limiting users' to 3 aliases.> Why are any aliases being permitted at all?
An alias is little better than a sock-puppet, and sock-puppets are inherently dishonest. <For users that are constantly having problems with each other, we are also considering implementing a "Mandatory Ignore List" to further help prevent conflicts> That's just a waste of time.
I know of one loser on this site who puts people on his ignore list but then logs out to read what they post, and then comment on their posts anyway, even when their post was not even directed at him. |
|
| Oct-02-22 | | diceman: <optimal play: <... we are limiting users' to 3 aliases.> Why are any aliases being permitted at all?> harrylime needs at least 3, so he can blow stuff he doesn't like out of the cafe. |
|
| Oct-02-22 | | thegoodanarchist: <Susan Freeman: <OCF > why terrible?> I think <George Wallace> would be able to answer this best. Too bad he isn't around anymore... I will give it a try: Overly sensitive people don't understand "man talk". Men who get along with each other often also trash talk each other. AKA "busting balls". Overly sensitive Libs don't understand this, and if the overly sensitive lib is also a mod then it is also possible/likely that he/she will force two men to ignore each other, when in reality they were just having a good time busting balls. For further clarification, watch "The Sopranos"? |

| | Susan Freeman: <Z> < PS - You're killing me Smalls.> interesting post.
The very one that lead to Annie's departure. |
|
Oct-02-22
| | Susan Freeman: Hi folks
I just want to make a brief statement.
Due to the devastation of hurricane Ian, the entire IT department is running on generators, with no announcement of power being restored. No water, no air conditioning, no telephone. It is hot and muggy here in Florida. Alligators are in the streets, which have become rivers. Kudos to the McDonald clan for keeping things together during this tragic and difficult time. |
|
Oct-02-22
 | | Check It Out: Hang in there. I appreciate all the extra effort you are going through. Stay safe! |
|
Oct-02-22
 | | MissScarlett: <The very one that lead to Annie's departure.> This was the straw that broke the camel's back? |
|
Oct-02-22
| | Susan Freeman: She wanted the poster banned. If I remember correctly. I said it was a joke. She said it was an insult, and if I didn’t do something by the time she fed the cats she was gone. Not being one to reply to threats or ultimata that was the final straw for me. |
|
Oct-02-22
| | Susan Freeman: I saw that as the beginning of a downward relationship. |
|
Oct-02-22
| | Susan Freeman: Having said that, Annie was a very intelligent and valuable employee. ( and…she WAS a salaried employee. ) |
|
Oct-02-22
| | MissScarlett: <I saw that as the beginning of a downward relationship.> Wait, so the first straw was the last? And you never communicated after that? |
|
Oct-02-22
| | Susan Freeman: < Miss>. Yes. Because there was no further communication whatsoever. |
