Correspondence Chess Server Blogs
WikipediaI wrote a few days ago an article about CCS. I put a lot of energy into it. It was too commercial said wiki robot and then it was deleted by one of administrators. OK, I said to myself, perhaps guys are right, I will try to be more briefly. So I wrote my second one, just 5 sentences - pure information, like I saw it was already there from other servers. Believe me - I tried to be really objective. My second article got deleted with light speed - no warning messages, no suggestions how to do right way, no possibility to recover deleted content. After researching a little I discover that there is a group of administrators - they just look on new articles and they are deleting with light speed articles they think they do not fit Wiki policy. Perhaps you can imagine that most of them are not scientists, engineers, doctors - well, they are no experts for most of subjects they delete with such ease. But they have power and censor everything they do not like. It is much easier to delete others work as to write something constructive. I am asking myself who is supervising them - or they can do what they want. While I think that deleting is sometimes necessary - it should be the final and not the very first act. They could made a warning to you - and you should have an opportunity to change archived, not deleted content. But as I said before - it is much easier and not time and energy consuming to delete others work. And from my point of view - this way you can not supervise administrators to see what they are doing to others. In my eyes Wiki is not the same project as it was before when I was just visiting them. Should I give another try? Well the last response was - CCS portal is too less known. OK, we will wait - we will grow up... by webmaster 9/9/2008 8:53:06 PM |
Insert from Benjamin Franklins The Morals of ChessThe Game of Chess is not merely an idle amusement, several very valuable qualities of the mind, useful in the course of human life, are to be acquired and strengthened by it, so as to become habits ready on all occasions, for life is a kind of Chess, in which we have often points to gain, and competitors or adversaries to contend with, and in which there is a vast variety of good and ill events that are, in some degree, the effect of prudence, or the want of it. by webmaster 8/7/2008 2:11:25 PM |
