Do NOT accept papabearof3 as a member!!!
Note the message of Joe, our club founder:

"Sorry for message inconvenience. It also appears someone was deleting people at a whim. Please do not accept papabearof3 as a member."

Thanks DM
If Papabear gets in, he will be a general member without the power to remove people. Therefore, I am not sure he is a real threat, but if someone promotes him to moderator, hmmm...that may be a bad decision.

His actions are very suspect. I was getting some comments from people wondering why they got removed. But I also got a message from Papabear stating that others were "requesting" assistance to leave the club.

He removed people without even making a comment to others and also did not wait for a "request". Either way, it demonstrated to me poor leadership and poor communication at the best. We can do better. thanks!

Now, how can we make this club better? We sure have enough moderators!!

Only the club founder can promote members, so I think we are safe.

yup, I was probably one of them...
I applied a few months back, got accepted, then kicked out inside of a day, didn't post anything.

I didn't protest, just figgered you guys have some messed up issues to deal with...

...and spent more time on chess.
