even gayer when you can look at the results so far then cast your vote and then change your mind as well after seeing the results.
Popularity contest, certainly is 🙁
Now I'm wondering why I bothered looking at their profiles. 😞

Yeah...voting for game mods because you like their personality..But we're voting for who we think might be able to spot an engine!
I have only talked to two, maybe three in detail......and not about game moderation.
The vote is an exercise in popularity.
Originally posted by huckleberryhoundUmm I think I agree with you now. I looked at their profiles and had in mind what Claudi wrote in his blog. But yeah I think you could be right. The whole idea is bonkers anyway! Chess is for fun cheating wouldn't make me enjoy it more, I can't imiagine there a reason making any one bother to cheat.

Originally posted by yo its meI cannot think of any good reasons either, but it still happens, it is a problem, and still needs to be dealt with.

Originally posted by Bad wolfYuppers, those are the guys who DESERVE to be elected.
Who were the original game mod team? I will be supporting them, but I've sorta forgotten and am unsure...I know Gatecrasher was among them, !~TONY~! and David Tebb was it? I'm unsure. 😞
Gatecrasher
David Tebb
~TONY~
That's who I voted for... 🙂
Perhaps it may be too little too late for me to get voted in, but I think I should still make an argument for myself.
You guys have to understand that having a high rating on this site doesn't mean anything if you can't prove you're a real player.
There have been cheating accusations around a couple of the high rated players applying for the mod team, which would automatically make me skeptical of them, but that's for you guys to decide.
Anyhow, !~Tony~!, Tebb, and Crasher are solid. Crasher seems to have, by far, the most experience when it comes to catching engine abusers.
As to the doubts about my ability to discern engine users from real players, I may not be as strong as those 3 I listed above, but I would certainly have some idea.
My biggest benefit has to be that I'm more strict and vocal than the other candidates. Honestly, I would prefer to have a ban first, ask questions later type of setup - although I doubt Russ would go for it. Honestly, some people are beyond blatant cheaters and allowing them to play on this site is just inane.
If you guys have any other questions about my credentials, see some of my other posts in Announcements in the original (now closed) thread.
