By the way, why is this thread open to comments from nonmods? :)

To allow you folks to give us a hard time if you disagree with our moderation.

I thought this too. I think it would probably be better to have a thread reporting the changes where only Moderators can post and a second thread where plebs can make comments on the changes, providing that the second thread did not simply become a flame-fest anyway.

I would have thought a bridge forum could come up with something cleverer than dots though.

We could have a string of suit-symbols instead. Maybe hearts would look nice?
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

Moved the thread asking about transfer bids to the Novice/Intermediate Forum -- it's too basic for General Bridge Discussion.

Except that I would never make a claim like "I have never insulted anybody", which was the post that I was very clearly responding to.

A thread on the horrific shooting of a school girl has been, at least temporarily, hidden due to concerns over some of the content in it, and the way the discussion was going. It was in the water cooler, where such heated discussions are allowed, to a point. i will wait to see what the other administrators think should happen to the post in the thread and/or the thread itself.

I am sure no one thinks shooting a peaceful school girl is ever acceptable, and the post was not hidden for expressing that attitude strongly.

Moved the thread about Alvin Roth winning the Nobel Prize to the Water Cooler, since he's not the famous bridge player.

I hid the thead "Kick out the james (trolls)" in the Water Cooler. It was in violation of Rule #1 in the Water Cooler Rules thread: "No personal attacks".

It also appeared to be a violation of the Forum Terms of Service for essentially the same reason. Maybe the OP will be suitably punished for this deliberate violation?

Technically so but surely not malicious and mildly ironic? Not sure what punishment comprises but hardly merited. At least one of the targets took it in good part and scored a humorous response.

Someone took offense and complained, seemed best to nip it in the bud before it turned nasty.

Removed a reply in the "Unfair treaded" thread that identified the offending TD and players in the tournament.
