Saying that a business owner should be responsive to what the majority of his customers want is staging a coup d'etat? 🙄
And you are trying to act like your $30.OO bucks gives you more rights than anyones else's money. I really think you are demanding way too much for your chump change. To hear you talk it is as if it were thousands.
What makes you think that Russ wasn't already doing something. Something possibly better than we had before. Your demands might have hindered it's development. Do you really think Russ just sets on his butt all day waiting for you to pipe up and make demands? He has more to do all day than to listen to you belch out demands. Things like switching servers to keep the site running. Or trying to make repairs to lost data on game history. I don't know for a fact, no one has said, but it wouldn't surprise me if Russ hasn't been thinking of how to keep subscribing members on this site and still moderate the engine use.
Ideas like starting chess clubs and isolating Engine users to a specific area of this site out of the way and independent of others. So that your ratings won't be effected by them and at the same time his wallet gets fatter so that he can give us all more for our money without loosing money and still making others happy. Ideas that probably go over your fat head. I don't know that is what Russ's intentions are, but I can tell you Russ was already aware of the problems and didn't need you or anyone else pressuring him. I suspect he needed time to think and get it right. But thanks for demanding an inferior system full of Trackheads. .

Every time the customers have been asked, they'd said quite loudly that they want engine use eradicated. I agree with that. It doesn't matter how much a sub costs here, we are the customers and the product and as such are free to ask that our wishes be considered by the business owners. Your hysterical screeching about one customer staging a "coup d'etat" because he proposes certain ideas that have been met with general approval are just your usual nonsense and a continuation of a silly personal vendetta. You really need to grow up.
"Russ might be doing this, Russ might be doing that". If that's good enough for you, so be it. But knowing the history here, I'm aware that Russ is responsive to customer feedback if it is loud enough and prolonged enough. That's how the Game Mod team was formed in the first place. It is infinitely superior to the system that was in place before (i.e. virtually nothing). I have no idea what "But thanks for demanding an inferior system full of Trackheads" and doubt if you do. Trackhead would still be cheating here if not for the Game Mods. The suggestions I've offered have all been ways to improve the performance of the Game Mods; why exactly is that soooooooooooooooo objectionable to you? In the end, these suggestions can be adopted or not and I think the customers here can voice approval or displeasure about the decisions made without being absurdly accused of attempting a "coup d'etat."

There is no one disagreeing that engine use is a problem and needs to be eradicated. In fact there are plenty finger pointers. All I am saying if you will stop and think, is there are more than one way to do that. One that both serves the customers and the administrators.
Are you opposed and closed minded to any other ideas? Against progression?
Let me explain to you what I meant by this sentence sense it flew over you head. "But thanks for demanding an inferior system full of Trackheads". (Cheats/Engine users) I am saying that as the system is now and has been in the past is somewhat flawed. And should be looked at in a different way,
There are many here, that feel there are some past game moderators or candidates for the task that might have a dirty past that are no longer with us as it should be under the current system.
There are some who say a few present volunteers might themselves be engine friendly. Or something just as bad which is banning innocents or turning a blind eye based on friendly associations. I don't know if that is true, I hope it is not.
Since that perception is out there, even if it is just a rumor. Then why not make it so that instead of banning players from the site, send them to a different part of the site that is more restricted, that way the players can still play with their engines, the owners can still collect revenue and the Moderators and Administrators can then be more liberal and aggressive in their decision process to remove engine users from the general population. A community within a community.
It seems like a reasonable solution for everyone, that is if you take the time to consider the idea without turning red in the face and starting the insult campaign.
Originally posted by cashthetrashThe hypocrisy level you consistently maintain is unbelievable. Your posts are filled with insults and innuendo and then you have the gall to complain about such practices! I can't decide whether I'm "someone with low self esteem" or someone who's so arrogant he wants to run the site (why not the whole world too?)! Amazing.

By your own definition, you seem to be staging a "coup d'etat" by suggesting some level of engine use should be tolerated by this site. The Site Admins have indicated that this is not acceptable (giving someone a "C" next to their name isn't a solution; it would still require Game Mods) and so have the vast majority of customers here. Put that idea to a vote and see how much support it gets; I'd wager no more than 10%.
Rumors that you or your associates start which are without basis in fact are a ridiculous reason to abolish the present Game Mod system. There have been adequate suggestions brought forward to insure that anyone who is being considered for the Game Mod team be vetted for engine use and that those named would be reviewed every 3-6 months or so. Not everybody has your "us v. them" type of attitude and the "problem" of favoritism (if it exists) is alleviated by the necessity of a supermajority (presently unanimous) decision by the existing Game Mods before any player is banned. And, of course, such decision must be finalized by Russ whose Godlike abilities you usually bow to. How come he can't be trusted in this matter?
So your proposal is a non-starter unless you can convince the Site Admins and the majority of users that a little cheating is OK and the Game Mods are useless. Good luck with that.

It would be totally unfair for someone to reported for not wearing a hat by a non hat wearing surveillance operative.
Yes, I like the way this is going. People aren't wearing enough hats. We should all form into, lets say, clubs in which, one, hats are worn and, two, surveillance of other hat-wearers is undertaken.
Naturally, I bags the pith helmet.
And another thing - when you talk of - quote: "surveillance of other hat-wearers is undertaken" - unquote. Too many people are going to misinterpret this vague suggestion into "underwear taken as hats." Certainly a problem for people in stable relationships and disastrous for those with young families. If you are going to invent rules you expect people to follow would you please make sure they are clear and easily interpreted. Thank you.
I bags the boater with floppy sides.
EDIT: There is also a campaign going on to persuade young men to wear hats to prevent the spread of aids...asking them to do the same for playing on RHP is going a step too far.

Originally posted by no1marauderGo read my post again, I never suggested abolishing the mod system. Your comprehension level is not working properly. Speak less and listen more. I plainly said leave the mods, but contain the cheaters. Instead of the death penalty, put them in jail figuratively speaking.

Keep reading it until it becomes your own idea. As soon as a few more that 10% finally understand it they might even like it. There are other sites that seem to do well with such a policy. From what I hear that is.
It is just a suggestion though. I think a few before me have thought of it. But it really isn't up to either of us no matter how much you stomp your foot and yell. If the Administrators want it we will live with their policy regardless. Or go to some lesser site. If they don't like the idea it doesn't really mater. So why do you argue so much if you aren't wanting to control the Chess World? Because you aren't going to control me so you might as well give up and go manipulate your chess moves.
