Goodbye

Today a man sent me some very offensive pics and a message in fluent Spanish, as a "birthday gift". My father was around and saw it. He got so mad he almost slapped me. I'm forced to close the account, while I live with my parents I simply can't disobey them (and this time I'm even not sure I want).

I don't feel myself being so important to start a thread about this, but I was teached to never leave a place without saying goodbye, and, in some cases, giving a explanation.

Thanks for some very funny moments, and best wishes to all the worthy members of this site (you know who you are).

Laura.

Hmm sorry to hear about that, some ppl take advantage that on internet they are annonymous, but i understand what you mean, have a nice time.

A shame. Why not just block messages? Otherwise good luck, hope you at least find somewhere else to play.

Miss you. :)

I'm not really surprised, there was some adult premium member asking about sex position on a girl's wall that I assume is adult enough to make her own decisions but that guy looked much older than her and he wrote it on her wall publicily. Really disgusting stuff going on.

.

Now it's too late to say anything, but have fun wherever you are. I hope to meet you again. Once. :)

Thanks, Scottrf, for this link.

Hey Laura.........we dont want to lose you JUST BLOCK the guy. He is only ONE person . Why let him spoil yr fun. If you run away from this you will be running from diff situations for years to come. Look  write down all the details his name...foul words etc...........and e mail to ....support@ches,com   If you feel more comfortable wait for their reponse ............put URGENT in the message window. FIGHT BACK + stay on site

I wonder if its those VOODOO guys tonight  Has anyone got EMERGENCY number to chess,com before these guys do more damage to decent innocent females playing on this site

Classy.  A girl gets assaulted (virtually) by a pervert and you blame her.

I wish you success in your chess endeavours. Bye

I posted a thread under Help and Support--I hope they can find and toss the pervert who did this.

I'm sure she was 18+ and as kaynight said, every culture is different.

22 I think. Not a child.

We're sorry this happened to you Laura. It's despicable.

doesnt matter if it's a child or not, its disgusting some perverted old guys send inappropriate pictures to young girls. 

This post is highly representative of a not-insignificant element within the chess.com membership.

Maybe she was not a child, but the guy that caused her leave more than a man is an idiot!

Sorry to see you go, especially under such circumstances. You sound like a very stand-up person with a caring family. Best regards to you and your family.
