Ask Paul Wise why his account was disabled for a while earlier this term. If he doesn't know, ask Graham.Steve B wrote:no body was "given" moderator powers heresockmonkey wrote:These same "chess policemen", given moderator powers, spend their free time checking up on your IP address, calling your office to figure out whether you're really an african from Zambia, and similar.

all mods were voted in by the members
unlike your new forum where the current mods are appointed
the things you are now mentioning probably happened in the CTF and not in the CCC
members can vote mods in or out
i dont defend actions like that and i would not vote for mods who engage in that sort of activity
the only censorship you can point to is that unregistered lurkers cannot read all forums
thats what it comes down to at the end of the day

I can't give you the exact time when it was last visible but maybe Graham Banks or Sam Hull can help since, if I'm not mistaken, they were involved in the decision to make it invisible.Albert Silver wrote:When was it visible?daws wrote:You're wrong, CTF hasn't always been invisible to non-members.Albert Silver wrote:Personally, I fail to see the difference from CTF, which has *always* been invisible to non-members.Steve B wrote:AFAIK the entire censorship i keep hearing about is that Unregistered Lurkers cannot read all of the forums hereAlexander Schmidt wrote:AFAIK its decided by Sam HullSteve B wrote:AFAIK this is currently being discussed by the members and certainly not happening as any sort of directive from the sponsor

and in the new forum Unregistered Lurkers can read all of the forums
once someone registers on your new forum both forums are the same
an entire new forum has been created for the reading pleasure of Unregistered Lurkers
that OK with me

For the life of me i dont know why you didnt fight Banks tooth and nail each and every time he took mod action against a majority votesockmonkey wrote:Ask Paul Wise why his account was disabled for a while earlier this term.

I think it might be more accurate to say that some members have been calling for Team Mod candidates. Some time ago a poll was started on this very subject and the team mods idea didn't seem to be very popular. Unfortunately, for some reason, the poll seems to have been deleted. However, I have found a post which refers to the poll where the instigator himself admits "There was disappointingly little support for the idea of teams".

Of course opinions may have changed but it is by no means clear what the membership want on this issue.
