LOL.. erik..
I thought the owner of the site was supposed to be the strict guy.. and the moderators would be more slack.
How much do they get paid?

My thoughts exactly.
The poor guy was probably just frustrated with the site because he was using the wrong browser. Been there. Easier to ask for help.

You mean Arena? I'm not surprised it's dysfunctional.

If the member is a 1 member pt jerkoff just trying to instigate others...I see it as a perfectly legitimate deletion.
Yes C.c is the Japanese model of chess sites. Copy cat of forerunners and in several areas a really bad knockoff. The PC here is a glass ceiling of narrow minded scardy cat-ness. Next will be forums will be hid because anyone with a brain will be deleted and oh my word we wouldn't want opinions being observed ;-( Lets see clubs, internet tool bar, severe restriction on forums topics and discussion, sounds like a clone to me!

TAURASI was probably pissed he was disconnected in the two live chess games he played.

Can we all admit that there is a fine balance that has to be struck between open honest freedom of speech and subversive grumblings that clutter the forums from negative types with no real investment or effort made...? A mood is struck here based on what is allowed to go on... I once had my posts deleted because I had included the words "emotional succubus"...so I understand the irritation with overcensoring.
I don't think people should be allowed to create threads until they have a certain amount of games played or a certain time has elapsed. 
That would especially help with the imbeciles who make new accounts every day just to create nonsense threads.

Sounds like "Yeah, who?" 
Talk about Dysfunctional Arenas 
and it ain't even made outta Legos! 
99.9% of the forums here are nonsense especially several of the replies here. The intelligence and lucid english on this site is appalling. TG there is undilluted Scouser blood still available!

Although, if we only allowed those newer folk to post in each others topic threads and only reply to each other - you all know who they are - now THAT would be a Dysfunctional Arena I'd (continue) to pay for the fun to lurk at.
Viva dys Functional!

I tried to click on "those newer folk" because I thought it might be a link to some funny episode.
@AfafBouardi - I, see. That is pretty bad.
@LAGER - Your english is pretty bad as well. Do you know what "lucid" means? You just contradicted yourself. And your third sentence lost me again.

There could be punitive measures if I identified them by (screen) name. But I know at least YOU know who they are because I've seen you mark them with the TROLL-tag in their OP'd topics

There's a fine line between worthy of deletion and worthy of ridicule and it's not always so clear. I think in this case either was acceptable so I really don't see much of a conflict or contradiction in position between Erik and the moderator who deleted the thread.

i have been playing chess for 60 years and this is the most dysfunctional arena i have ever seen........
and then i was going to reply, but apparently one of our kind moderators deleted the original post. anyway, i thought my reply was funny, so i'm posting it anyway :D
woah - we're in an arena?
personally, THIS is the most dysfunctional arena i've ever seen:
i mean, a toy that teaches kids about throwing people into a pit to be eaten by lions? now THAT is dysfunctional.
