You know how much code you want them to run for that to happen. It's not judgemental, I just know the owner and know he's not gonna run that much code just to split jobs of admins. And I been waiting for 3 years just waiting for them to just put in a way for the SA's to know who sends matches so we can have a contact person. If I been waiting for just one small thing, we can have this same convesation in 2 years again and find both of us still waiting...And yes, they do have priorities for this site....
More Group Roles
Sort:
You need to join the Group called Chess.com Feedback, where we all made the wish lists when wew went to the beta site and post it there. Just dont get upset as we all put up stuff we all wanted to see and are still waiting on it all. We all are still waiting for a lot of things we asked for.....
That is very helpful knightspawn. I didn't know that there was such a group; I don't know a thing about codes or coding, so I believe you when you say it is alot; but aren't there some "code-whizzes" that can make that happen; but regardless of that, I will do my part and whatever it takes to see change, there is always hope; you can't win if you don't risk loss! I know that you've have probably been hearing this for the past two years then, but shouldn't enough members be able to influence the Staff? Thank you for suggesting that group though! Much appreciated!
It's a lot of code, and it will cost a lot of money for them to do it. Why a lot of it isnt done the way we would like to see it. You may not know it but they are working with facebook, android, the kids chess.com site and other projects, all of the take different coding as each site chess.com is on has a different application that it has to cope with. It take's time and money.
The whizzes can make it happen, but only if they are told to make it happen. They can't just do things on their own. This is a company, and has stockholders to answer to and they have project planners to make other things happen which help them to bring in money to help pay for those whizzes. Members dont work for the company, you dont go in a tell a grocery store or MacDonalds how to run their company. We can only ask as members but we cant decide where they spend their money and on what projects. But join the other group and post your idea. Just dont get upset when you dont see it happening. They will decide what their piorities are...
I got what you are saying, and I understand the wait; what about these shares though;I'm startng to think that I could have greater influence or at least a better chance with a "connect" if I was to become a share-holder; true statement about McDonalds, but the thing with that is the customer is always right, and their service (company) depends on the satisfaction of their consumers. I did join the group and will post my ideas; I just hope with enough spin and push that it might make its way up the ladder; I also did not know about the other sites, I thought Chess.com was its own entity. But regardless, codes = money, I understand, all we can do is use our resources right! Be the change ou want to see!
You will be in line behind all of us who put in ideas first. The wait will be long. Being a Stockholder is not enough, unless you plan on buying 49% percent of the stock. I hope you have that much money on hand. Cause having less than a few million shares will not make you a mover and a shaker of the company.. The customer is not always right, believe me, not in todays economy. They get their complaint taken and it goes into a pile which goes up the ladder. That may have been true once, just not as true as it once was. Most companies depend on volume business now, lose one customer and get 3 to take their place. Just ask walmart.

"You will be in line behind all of us who put in ideas first. The wait will be long. Being a Stockholder is not enough, unless you plan on buying 49% percent of the stock" Who owns the other 51% then? because 49 is still not greater than 51! But it seems that you are not too "nice" about your post; you seem peeved that you've been waiting a while. What I actually got from your message is "I'm still waiting so you have to wait!" type attitude, which is very childish and no wonder you are still waiting to see change; learn some English and use it to influence people; It's all in the pitch, just ask Ron Popeil; one of the gretest pitchmen ever! And it seems that you are not a "customer/consumer" that a company would be worth considering to keep. Like a Casino, if you lose one high-roller, the 3 other people won't be and cannot possibly bring a light to that one high roller; I like to believe if there is a will, there is a way; and if not, I will make one! Good thing I am used to the motto: "Hurry Up and Wait" Bonus question: where is that from? Well A tout a l'heure!
No, just the truth, but as I said post in the other group and see. I'm not peeved at all. You talk about others being judgemental but that's what you are being yourself isn't it. You will find out like the rest of us. But again the truth. Belief is nice, results are better. You dont seem nice either as you tell people what to do. If thats what you thought I meant you have a very narrow view. Funny how you choose a Casino and high rollers, instead of everyday businesses that most people use everyday.. You seem to read into what is not meant. Just what you think it means to you. I just been here much longer and have watched others including myself put in ideas. We all used great pitches for what we wanted and tried to influnce the staff. Alas it didn't work. I wish it were as simple as you seem to think it is. But please,like I said, put your idea in and influence all the staff you can. Then see if you are more successful than all of us. I wish you sucess.

Are you talking about the SA of the opposing team? Because they already tell the team that is being challenged to a team match which admin sent them the challenge.
No, the one who accepts challenges for the opposing team.. We dont know who to contact when they accept....
Oh, I get it. Yeah, that would be helpful.
Thanks you Knightspawn; I apologize to you if I came off agressive. The real thing is that I am impatience and want what I want when I want it (but that's life; not always going to happen). I tend to find myself ot taking no for an answer, or trying to find the next step for progression. In short, I don't believe "no" should be an answer. I probably will find out like the rest of you, but that isn't going to stop me from trying to go up even further; either way, what will happen will happen. I wish you success as well mon frere!
That's okay knightspawn5, I can mind the wait. I would just like to see staff at least look at the idea, that would be enough satisfaction for me. Now sure they may decline the idea, but there's nothing wrong with trying to tell what you want to happen, even if it takes 10 years.
They will look at it if it gets posted in the right forum. I hope were all still here on the site in 10 years. But you know the computers may not be the same at all.....lol
Haha 
I probably will check chess.com in 10 years, just to see how it's going. So knightspawn5, what do you think of the overall idea? Like forget about the time and money, any comments? I'll take negative and positive comments
Okay, I re-read the idea. It's something that can be done without all the code. You just give an admin his job and hope he does it right. With the way I am reading it, you would have to have admin posistions created for each role with limited powers on each. Since I dont know how many roles you want I have no ideas how you power structure works.
Then you have the added problems of finding and keeping people in these roles as well as all SA's. SA's leaves the groups also and sometimes without a word. You need to tell me how many roles and how what powers each role has.
It seems a waste of time and effort to me for just trying to spy on people and find them guilty of a mistake. That's not what this site is here for in my opinion. Anyone who is at admin level is a volunteer helping you. You either trust your admins or ya dont. If you are looking for prefection, I gotta tell ya it doesnt exsist here on this site or anywhere else. If your looking to blame someone, like the Captain of a ship, you go the SA. Thats where the buck stops...
I'm not saying my idea is ideal, but I think the SAs of groups should be able to see which admin did what, like who locked matches, etc.
That alone would be okay, but thats not what I read in the idea list. I have asked for that one item over 3 years ago, others have asked for it also. We were all told, it wasnt a high priority item. That was before we went Beta, it wasnt added to the system when it did. When they did the feedback forum, the idea went in again from a lot of us. It still hasnt been added. So, we have all been waiting for certain things that we want them to add. Just hasnt happened yet.....So, you tell me.
That sounded a bit judgemental; I'm quite sure everyone has priorities; but obviously just "telling" them what to do is NOT the same as when they would be limited by the actual site. I also believe that no one is "working" for anyone in a Team, that's why it's a team! But I digress, I am aiming to get this idea known to the staff to see what can be done. If you know of something useful other than "telling" people what to do, please give an open-minded opinion! Thanks brah!
