I assume that is a rhetorical question, underlining a need for the BOT people to re-examine the alleged explanations of calls.

We're fully aware that GIB doesn't approach the same quality standards as the rest of BBO. But it's a much harder problem to solve. Improving the explanations is part of our general maintenance of GIB. But we can only address them on a case by case basis, there's no general solution to the problem.

Moved the thread about moving the BBO Forums to a new platform to the General BBO Forum, since it's not about bridge.

Moved the thread about TD's in the new BBO speedballs from the GIB forum to the BBO Tournaments forum.

Moved the thread asking about whether to announce or alert a 2♠ transfer to minors to the Simple Rulings forum. It was in Interesting Bridge Hands, yet didn't even supply a hand.

A bunch of post by dumpboss were dumped. I don't mind mentioning the name, since he joined bbo today, didn't play any bridge over there, and came here and posted 7 clearly spam post. Thanks to everyone (a lot of you) for reporting these, they were all deleted under an hour from the first one being posted.

Good job, Ben. I can only imagine how many emails you received in a very short time period. It certainly was small compared with the number of people annoyed with the posts who didn't feel it necessary to further dump on you because we knew you would be on top of it.
