Chess Forum / Chess Politics / March 2007Appeal from Suspension of Posting Privileges
[quote="SysAdmin"]NOTIFICATION OF DISCIPLINARY ACTION Post: #33119 Posted: Tue Mar 06, 2007 9:22 pm Post subject: "Seattle Chess Foundation has new plan to improve its finance" Date: March 15, 2007 To: Sam Sloan Your Post #33119 on: Tue Mar 06, 2007 9:22 pm, subject: "Seattle Chess Foundation has new plan to improve its finance" in the USCF Issues Forum was in violation of the Acceptable Usage Guidelines for the USCF Forum. "Keep Your Posts Clean: There may be places where explicit, violent, obscene or vulgar, graphics, [links to pornographic sites] or language is appropriate; this US Chess Bulletin Board is not one of them. Message board posts that contain explicit, obscene or vulgar language will be removed. Similarly, messages that solicit or offer sexually explicit material, GIFs, JPEGs or other graphic files will be deleted without notice." This is a 2nd level sanction. Accordingly, you have been suspended from posting to the USCF Forums for a period of one (1) week. This sanction was imposed by order of the Forums Oversight Committee.[/ quote] I protest and hereby appeal. It is the obligation of the Seattle Chess Foundation to clear up their own website. As the sponsor of the US Championship and numerous scholastic chess events, they have the obligation to the USCF and to the players and the children to keep their own website clean. I assume that their website got the way it is by an errant or possibly fired employee who took the password with him and put a lot of junk on the website. In any case, the Seattle Chess Foundation has the legal means to remove the junk from their website. Neither I nor anybody else at the USCF can do anything about this problem. Only they can. Your announcement does not even mention that it is the Seattle Chess Foundation website that is the subject of this matter. Therefore, anybody reading this will not know what is involved here. A similar case happened a few years ago when porn appeared on a hidden page of the Walt Disney website. Walt Disney took immediate action, identifying the employee and firing him and removing the porn. This became a major news item and nobody was criticized for citing or referring to the page that contained the porn. That is what should happen here. You should criticize the Seattle Chess Foundation, a 501c3 corporation, for allowing porn on their website, instead of sanctioning me. Accordingly, I appeal your decision. Sam Sloan > [quote="SysAdmin"]NOTIFICATION OF DISCIPLINARY ACTION > [quoted text clipped - 57 lines] > > Sam Sloan You have no right to appeal Sam Sloan. You have become a failure as an EXecutibve Board member who haws go out here and say you appeal when your vote mens nothig. You have no legal right to appeal. File a lawsuit. Marcus Roberts Sloan, you're a scumbag. Go away and have fun with your boyfriends. Sam, You really need to let this one die, and move on. The problem is not the Seattle site per se, it was the way that you announced it to the group with the "whole new funding model" message, with no mention of pornography, simply an exuberant invitation to click on the site, with a link. Voila, pornography. On everyones page, haha, you tricked everyone, using a seattle chess foundation problem to click on a link to pornography. That trick belongs ENTIRELY to you. An adult, age appropriate, board member appropriate way to do the same thing was to instead of couching it in a trick, be straight forward. "It appears that there is a problem with the Seattle Chess Federation, who sponsored the US championship and AF4C. Their page is no linked into a pornography page. This is not safe for work to click on, but there seems to be a problem with that page and the Af4C page which is domain parked. Does the USCF need to do something about it." I am quite sure the second link DOES not get you tossed off the forums. It will help your cause more, to be more adult about your postings and your complaints. This does not put you into a good light. Quietly apologize for your method, respect the week, and move on to important stuff, like where are the records, do we own the land, who is going to pay for the US open and should Susan P and et al be elected. > It will help your cause more, to be more adult about your postings and > your complaints. This does not put you into a good light. That USCF reacts the way it did to Sloan while NOT reacting that way to a few others over whom it has control in the recent past does not put it in a good light. If anything it smacks of whistleblower retaliation, something I have a zero tolerance for.
