My views on moderation

Your above statement were directed or against Stockfish or against Glaurung, because these two programs are not the same. Yes, they have the same origine, but from now on, after every new release, Stockfish will diverge more from Glaurung

Stockfish will indeed diverge more and more from Glaurung 2.2, in exactly the same way that Hiarcs keeps diverging more and more from Hiarcs 10. Nevertheless, Harvey is not allowed to enter Hiarcs 10 and Hiarcs 13 in the same tournament. You can't enter two versions of your program just because a long time has passed and you have changed a lot of code in between. Harvey, I, and virtually everybody else consider this a very fair and sensible rule.

and converge more to IIFB - Igorrit/Ivanhoe/FireBird.

Of course it will not converge towards any other chess engine.

In very near future Stockfish will be official representative of IIFG, so Glaurung and Stockfish are diferente just now, will be more diferent every month, and you should support both of them.

Glaurung 2.2 doesn't need anybody's support any more than Hiarcs 10 does. They are both no longer in development, and since a long time succeeded by newer and far stronger versions.

Perhaps you are not aware, but what you explained in your answers is the nonsence of Harvey's inicial statement, with his example: Glaurung and Stockfish in the same tournament. LOL

Of course, because people like you make tournament rules in the moment. It is one of things we want to change. And one of the steps in that direction are these elections.

If you want to change how tournaments are done, you should be talking to people like Peter Skinner (who runs CCT) and Charles Roberson (who runs ACCA). I have found both approachable, reasonable, and flexible when I have participated in tournaments run by them in the past.

So, you missed the rudiness with wich PS treated me a month or two ago.
I asked the mods not to delete his post, so that it could be showen to future CCC generations. If you have curiosity to see it, search around the forum.
