Hi, we'd like to try an experiment. As you may have noticed there was almost no moderation activity in the past 12 hours. Now we mods decided that we won't moderate for a couple of days and therefore some rosetta-board-specific rules won't be enforced. This is done in ordert to give everybody the possibility to speak his mind. We hope that after everybody could state his opinion and argue as much as he likes we can put some issues to an end and go on with discussions about the present and the future rather than the past of Rosetta@home. So the zero-Racers can challenge the overclaimers and debate about cheating and backdating or the influence of seti fanboys, vocal minorities and credit whores on the project. ;-) Perhaps everything wents better without moderation? If something really, really ugly happens we will of course be present - but that won't happen, right? I am a forum moderator! Am I? |

Please remember that Moderators and admin are legally responsible for what is posted. If any libel were to happen there maybe a case that you could be sued in the Country of the complainant. It has happened elsewhere. Not all Czech`s bounce but I`d like to try with Barbar ;-) Make no mistake This IS the TEDDIES TEAM. |

As I said, if something really, really ugly happens we will react, but we won't move posts or try to prevent certain discussions. I am a forum moderator! Am I? |

Nahhh I don`t get it, whilst the last day was 99% o.k.,it was because people knew these rules existed and mods were on hand if necessary. Once the calls of cheat or zero racer, XS V BoincSynergy or ex-Seti gets going you will have no options, you`re opening a can of worms you don`t want to. In these conditions I ask that all mods are on hand 24/7 as any newbie coming to the forums may get a surprise. You`re going to leave the public face of Rosetta to this experiment ? Admin is worse than I thought. I reckond between 6-9pm this evening....there maybe a change of tact ! Not all Czech`s bounce but I`d like to try with Barbar ;-) Make no mistake This IS the TEDDIES TEAM. |

The moderators can go on a strike or whatever but if when they come back they are still annonymous , the basic problem will remain: Lack of trust in anonymous moderation or rulings. This and no other is the root from which a Tyrant springs; when he first appears he is a protector.†Plato |

Nahhh I don`t get it, whilst the last day was 99% o.k.,it was because people knew these rules existed and mods were on hand if necessary. Carl : The moderators are using a tactic used by some of the most unsavory dictators/tyrants in history. Example: Ivan the Terrible , who left for exile after he made sure the instability of Russia was such people were going to claim back for him as they did and he returned a worst tyrant than before. I am willing to bet they are counting that there will be the chaos. And, since all the moderators are annonymous, I don't know which one of whom is capable of conspiring with a group of rabble rousers to get the chaos they need but, I am willing to bet that as this moment one of them is doing that: organizing a chaotic situation whith his friends and co teamates. I hope I am wrong. Then , they will come back as the liberators and protectors and will act as the tyrants Plato warned the civilized nations against. This and no other is the root from which a Tyrant springs; when he first appears he is a protector.†Plato |

When the conversations on the boards reflect that the "c" word is "cancer", and the "f" word is "folding". Then there won't likely be any need for moderator action.

You are so correct in your appreciation. But Alas , as long as people try to rehash history and reopen certain situations , it is human nature that those attacked will defend themselves and or set the record straight. This and no other is the root from which a Tyrant springs; when he first appears he is a protector.†Plato |
