Rick,
You are very right.
Independance is a very important thing.
And I must say that the present president does not move in the right direction.
Exemple :
I made a post including a joke (about penguins)that was dirty.
That post was removed (wich I understand, and I don't contest that)
Then I received a mail telling me that if I did not behave correctly, some SANCTIONS could be taken over me. Isn't this rude Al ?
On the other hand,
another member posted in the "other topic" forum, a link towards a dirty joke:
http://www.wargame.ch/board/nwc/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=7108
Is that more appropriate ? Certainly, as we can telle because the post has not been moderated, and that the author certainly did not received a threatening mail.
On the other other hand (how many hands does that make ?)
The president himself made a politically incorrect post comparing muslims and nazis :
http://www.wargame.ch/board/nwc/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=7088
Has this post been moderated (by the president himself ?) : NO.
(note that the content of the various posts is not in cause)
However, that muslim/nazi post could be as much offendant for some readers than a dirty joke.
This is a serious matters. Bill Peters is not personnaly in cause. Anybody else could have been facing the same situation in his position. But it is a matter to be discussed acording to democratic rules, and there is a need to adopt more precise rules that could not leave place to interpretation, or leave room for arbitrary decisions.
Yours
Stephane

<br />We must remember that President Bill Peters also makes money from the very game that our club has adopted. <font color="orange">There is nothing wrong with that</font id="orange">, but with the dawn rising for other (possibly better) games for our club to also adopt, what will his role be? As President <u>and</u> moderator he could have profound affects upon any efforts to include these other games.
Shouldn't that <font color="orange">conflict of interest</font id="orange"> exclude him from having any role other than his personal vote (at that time) as a club member?
