Btw, the current moderators are doing a good job under very difficult times in my opinion.
Robert is a very respected member here so why don't you take your hatred and go someplace else. What have you ever done to for chess at all? You realize that they created a new chess forum for people just like you so why not join your unhappy friends there?
Bill, member of 10 years standing.
Actually, openchess was _not_ created for people like him, it was primarily created so that discussions could proceed without getting moved around, or posts/threads getting deleted or locked, willy-nilly.
I don't think there is a forum for someone with only a purely personal agenda.

Lots of people have strong opinions about this issue in both directions.
Quite frankly, I can see the positions for both sides of the argument.

Moderators are open to criticism. I don't delete posts that are critical of moderators such as I never deleted posts since the start of this moderation term, especially those which are critical of me.
Where in the charter does it say that open season on moderators is allowed?
Personal attacks apply to everybody from what I can read.
Cheers,
Graham.
As a moderator one has to be open and transparent and not delete posts which are against them. Deleting posts gives negative impression. If the criticism is way over the top to the point of outright lie, then the post shall be deleted.
As I said, You can always ask Jeremy to remove posts you feel are criticism on you. But he feels the same way as me. He had never removed posts which are attack on him and his moderation.
But all I see is just a criticism of you and your moderation, so don't worry about it - I and Jeremy had been criticised too.

Hi Swami,
criticism is fine as I indicated, but abuse and personal attacks should not be tolerated towards anybody. Just my opinion though.

There were several posts which are personal attacks on previous term moderators - Bob Hyatt had been attacked by OP when Bob was a mod. But I had never seen him deleting posts which were against him. Rather, I saw number of people coming in to support Bob.
Yesterday, Gerold Daniels had attempted a diversion and thrown in a personal attack at me, I never deleted it and certainly never replied to him.

Hi Gerold,
Right now, I don't feel I'm going to take up another term of moderation.
Too busy with more important things in life. I'm too young and nearly 1/2 or 1/3rd the age of many people around in here.
I hope Bob Hyatt, Steve B and Dann Corbit takes up.

I know Bob and Steve will. Dann i am not sure he will run. They would make a good team.
