If there are Game Mods in place and functioning effectively, then there is no need for public accusations.
If they are not, then public accusations are the only effective way of making the Site Admins act. That is a simple truth.

Simply because they have already demonstrated an inability to operate within the rules and regulations in force on this site.
To me, once the game Mod system was disbanded, we were back in the same position. If people hadn't publicly marked erice1 has a cheater, he'd still be here cheating. Sometimes the rules are a detriment to the greater good.

Originally posted by no1marauderHe is undoubtedly qualified but has failed to abide by the rules and regulations he would have to uphold. On that basis he should be disqualified (not unqualified) from holding the office of game mod. If he actually wishes to be a game mod that is!
Your opinion is obviously biased. the idea that Dave Tebb is unqualified for the Game Mod team is bizarre.

I did not say unqualified but this whole affair leaves the impression to me that not everything he did was correct. I think I just expected more of him.

The Game Mods were dissolved.
What exactly would you have had him do at this point? Nothing?

Besides we are talking four weeks here? Six weeks with the mayor outage on top... do you think waiting a bit would really do that much damage to the site?

That was not the case, I was waiting for Russ to speak up.
This went on perhaps 3 or 4 weeks too long.

But 3-4 weeks too long... you are seriously telling me that we are destroying 3.5 years of dedication because of a four week delay?!
That is really sad...

Regarding Korch I can also assure that he is a really good OTB player. I've played against him once and got crushed in 14 moves. Here you can see him in the rating list - No. 67. You can see his name in his post. (page 3, first post) http://www.chess.lv/lv/reitingi/ ( I checked the list on March 6th. On April the list should be changed but he will probably stay in the top 100).
