Rogue's Nest

A reference to open-chess.org was moderated out of one my posts on the Rybka forum, so we are now officially a rogue's nest!

Really? I mean seriously?! That's just ridiculous.

Yep, guess everybody is a bit confused

Yeah, "confused", I admire your decorum. I guess so, if confused is a euphemism for head-firmly-wedged.

Not sure if that can be topped -- but back when I participated there, I posted a link to talkchess (before it was acquired by Rybka) and the post was edited/moderated because the linked thread on talkchess mentioned the forbidden engine by name. Of course Rybka's own Wikipedia page does as well. So I said if such is the case then Rybka's wiki page link should not be allowed. The kid put in charge without thinking, edited http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rybka out of my comment. He really put the meaning in "he who seeks vengeance must dig two graves."

who cares what they do.
they can praise their point of views all day long and censor
whatever they want. they are just another commercial forum.
nobody takes them as serious because they censor any opinion
that is not in their interest and is against their point of views.

commercial forums have only ONE reason: to increase the sales
of the product. this is done by all means. lies are called
public relation. there is no democracy and no truth in a commercial
forum such as rybka forum, hiarcs forum or computer-chess-club.

What will they do when Rybka is overtaken on the rating lists, censor them too

Since ownership of the Capitalist Controlled Rating List is in the hands of someone who censors programs, denies them access to the list and who knows what other unscientific and manipulative techniques, I think it is possible to say that that angle is already covered

This has also concerned me too. There was a debate about it on CCC recently.
