I can't believe anyone found Widget racist.. I only just found out he has been banned for slurring the Irish.. surely no-one took that sort of thing seriously? Perhaps he was stirring a point? I didn't see the deleted comment but the thread was so nonsensical with Crowley on the Helm that the thread should have been binned anyway.

Fortunately, the site admins are perfectly aware of that, my son.
Two mistakes: If you dislike someone, at least you do not voice it,
so your judgement in the eyes of others appears impartial.
You are not fit to be a moderator, IMO, and I hope you are removed
from your tiny position of power anytime soon, which perhaps will
crumble your self esteem and 92% of your everyday duties.
God bless you.

If you are widget or Seitse then you are on a downhill slope with a certain mod who loves them both!!

The post that was quoted here has been removedSA won their game against those Pommie Whingers, now they are back to being masters of their universe perhaps Crowley will release Widget.
Sorry C but in my opinion you really should unban him.
or give me one for the above which really is tongue in cheek.
Or at least let him start a wine and food thread for a day..
A few points:
Where do we draw the line? 'Maybe it was tongue in cheek' doesn't cut it for me.
A few Irish people were offended by it and on my watch racism gets zero tolerance.
Also, sure there may have been 'worse' posts that have slipped past the mods, but if it doesn't get alerted, you can't be sure we saw it... If you didn't personally alert any such post, please don't use something like this as an example.

Jesus people, it's just a 3-day ban from a chess forum, it's not three years in the gulag. I've been banned many times, often for things that I haven't agreed with (7 days for once slightly obfuscating the f-word, 3 days for writing 'dick'😉. It's greatly inconsistent, subjective and varies from moderator to moderator but really, it's not a big deal - who cares?
Maybe Faith No More can help you with this one:
We care a lot
about disasters, fires, floods and killer bees
about Los Angeles falling in the sea
about starvation and the food that Live Aid bought
about disease, baby, Rock Hudson, Rock...Yeah!
We care a lot
about the gamblers and the pushers and the freaks
about the people who live off the street
about the welfare of all the boys and girls
about you people cause we're out to save the world
Yeah!
And it's a dirty job but someone's got to do it!
We care a lot
about the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines
about the NY, SF, and LAPD
about you people, about your guns
about the wars you're fighting
gee, that looks like fun
We care a lot
about the Cabbage Patch, The Smurfs, and DMC
about Madonna and we cop for Mr.T
about the little things, the bigger things we top
about you people, yeah, you bet we care a lot
And it's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it....
