Criticism

This criticism has come the way of the group:

"I must also say that most of the critism about us having a HQ in the first place came from members of the 'Alter England' group. This seems strange to me, as two of their admins alexholowczak and blackfirestorm666 are admins of the following group: County Championship Council here is the groups description: ''The group for the Administrators to discuss Adminstrative issues regarding the Chess County Championship. This is purely for English counties. '' So yes, here are the two leaders of a group criticising us for having a HQ, when in actually fact they are both super admins of a group 'only for admins' of the county teams? is anyone accusing either of THEM of secrecy or keeping members in the dark? Indeed blackfirestorm is actually a member of 7 other 'admin only' groups if you check her profile. Ahem, members might start to see now, why we at Team England admin were a little 'irritated' by the fact that we were receiving criticism for having a HQ by a group run by these individuals? hypocrisy in its most blatant form i would say?"

Firstly, one member from each county is in here. Rather than being a subset of a county like the England HQ, this is in fact more like the World League HQ, where all admins come together.

However, this group has more than that. I've actually let in more than just administrators. Anyone who has wanted to be here has been let in. This is perhaps contrary to the group description, but that can be changed.

Anyway, if you want to invite all of the members into here, then do so. If they're a member of the County Championship, then I have precisely zero objection to them applying to join. So by all means, post a link in the notes of your relevant county. I can't do that for all of you, because they're largely all private. I can't invite several hundred people either (daily limit, time). So it's up to you. I will be inviting the Worcestershire team to join.

Definitely doing a great job Alex, I think the CCC is very well organised. Also the very fact that you've offered to open up this page to everyone proves that Team England are wrong in their accusations! 

Keep up the excellent work. (and in Alter-Eng).

NSgenius, it was from the Team England HQ. But let's leave that out of here, that discussion is happening elsewhere.

I agree with you, but I don't see why we can't open it up anyway. If people feel they aren't having a say, or having questions answered, they can come in here and complain. So far... 0 people have complained. So we must be doing a good job. :-)

Who was the criticism from Alex? Someone with an agenda no doubt. I don't see it as hypocrisy - there doesn't have to be a group for team england admins as they can all 'meet' on the team england page, whether in private or by notes. There DOES have to be a county admin group because it would be very difficult to organise things otherwise. Sounds like bitter ramblings to me.

So no, as a member of Alter England, I don't see why the admins of Team England were 'irritated'. I do however see why so many people left Team England (including myself) if these are the kinds of stunts that they pull.
