In the last few days the tone of the topics has become much darker and not the type Chess Scotland want to see on its forum. As it is close to the AGM I allowed posts which in hindsight I should have nipped in the bud. I then had to lock two topics until I considered what action to taken. After much thought I have banned Robin Moore until further notice and Phil Thomas for two weeks. I felt that warnings were insufficient. Robin's punishment is more severe as he has been already been banned on a previous occasion. If apologies are forthcoming to Chess Scotland, then these bans may be reviewed. Please all remember that this type of behaviour makes my job much more difficult
