Waiting period for new posters

I've also seen a lot of abusive posters who have never been banned...

That's not your call, is it Mr. Multiple Accounts?

Neither is it yours or vivify's.

Thanks 😉

I appreciate your mild and often self-deprecating sense of humor.

My one request would be to avoid jokes and remarks that maintain the "boys' club" atmosphere that has surrounded chess, which might be off-putting to non-boys who might otherwise participate in the forums. 😉

Request Denied.

Any player will have their account removed once confirmed as a returning banned account. (Only in vary rare circumstances has this not been the case.)

New posters can only post to the Help forum initially after joining, to prevent general spam.

Good.

I was never banned.

Also, if we see multiple concurrent accounts in use, the ban hammer will be deployed.

Good.

I only use one.

Well that clears that up.

Thanks Boss 😉

@vivify

Rub salt vivifro.

@Suzianne

You too.

You too.

Do you still think moderation is biased?

Why would you think this if you've never been banned?

Were you fibbing?

This is a blatant and obvious lie.

And I wouldn't be surprised if I got banned for pointing that out.

I may just have better running shoes than you.
