Stumbled upon this group:

http://www.chess.com/groups/view/indians-are-great

Funniest thing ever. XD

AMIRITE?

"the indians who thinks they are great can only join this group."

And yet the SA is in 5 groups.

HAHA! And why wont this show up under recent posts?

Apparently they have made it so a new thread needs a certain number of responses before it shows up. This, I would imagine, is to stop the spam from showing.

Not really the best solution, but it works, partially.

AHHH! That's annoying....

So all new threads won't appear on the right under most recent posts?

Correct. Not until they have some responses.

I think that this will only be temporary. As soon as the spam ads stop appearing chess.com will change it back.

You could put together a group called Indians Ain't Great (or something creative) & challenge them to a match. Just fill your group with a bunch of strong players. I noticed their average rating is 1416. It would be a fun match if you could get an average rating of over 2000 to beat up on em & talk junk while the games are going on.

That is, until they decide to report you, and the staff doesn't think it's all that funny.

How do people see that a new thread exists to even post. The only way I know they exist is when I see them on the right under most recent posts.

HOw about this name 'A whole country of chess players, and only one is good.'

I wonder this too. I wonder too how many good posts are sitting unanswered.

The more I think about it, the more I think this approach for the spam is pretty lame. All they seem to have done is stop the complaining about the spam, not actually solving the problem of spam.

samtoyousir

Exactly. I think it only took two or three posts. I may just create and bump now. This is like the 3rd time. I thought the first two were just weird. And now.....

ARGH.

samtoyousir

I mean the only reason that this thread ever showed up is because Macer and Josiah are freinds. Otherwise...
