As I pointed out, I was basically told that I now need to be "super kind". And that came in a private message from the so-called leader of the mods. That is a prime example of different rules from different people since most of the time we are told to be "relevant, helpful and nice". But apparently the rules changed for me that day. (For another GREAT example, see this post: https://www.chess.com/forum/view/general/lets-play-blindfold-right-now and notice post #2 and #3. Apparently there are no rules concerning this and mods can make it up as they go? Or as Erik says, it is ok and the mod who said no did not know that there is actually a policy on it.)
Not true. I was enforcing policy handed down long ago by staff. Never was it rescinded until erik's post, which settles the matter until he changes his mind, if he ever does.
Erik is a bit like Braveheart. If hollywood ever makes a film about chess.com, hopefully they will ask Mel Gibson to play Erik.
