Chess.com's biggest problem seems to be often off topic forums.

There is always the wandering newbie to the internet, but some are purposefully annoying us.

That's from his profile, here. I'm sure he knows that posting the same topic 6 times is spam. And it annoys me like hell...

I think you just reported yourself with a bad attempt at humor (that joke is too old)...

we have a link like that: Report Abuse :) but i'm not sure he was being intentionally spammy, but using an inappropriate method of showing frustration. i have deleted some of those posts.

I think that people who spam, are just trying to get more points, but others just want to tick people off. Either way I just avoid the posts like that.
