So lately I have noticed a lot of things, Members being... immature you can say. I understand not everyone is like me and knows how to ignore a troll or how to walk away from a situation at times. I get caught into it too sometimes standing up for myself or somebody else. I hear from friends and I can see on public forums that there is some troll going around like "Viroh" "Cars3" stuff like that, people accusing others and just saying mean comments to each other for absolutely no reason. Like I can understand if you all hate each other but spamming forums on chess.com community don't get you nowhere. You all are making bad images for yourself, you may be a victim to abuse but just report and block every time they come. It is very easy to do, no need to go tell your friends or post it in chess.com community as 99.9% of that club do not care whatsoever. Or if you care so much about all of it tell your friends in a club you create on your own. But be warned its still not allowed to publicly accuse people. I am writing this out of my own annoyance that I have grown seeing all the forums and explaining this multiple times already to people. 

Harassment, "Exposing" and other types of Abuse:

I have had friends message me saying they are being accused of racism and harassing another when they have done nothing. Why do members do this? I don't know. It could be a mental issue and they want attention, they could just be a spoiled kid trying to look cool, they could just be a 10 year old kid trying to scare you, there is endless possibilities when it comes to online. If you see a member doing something stupid, who cares? Let them be them and if its not directed towards you don't get included. It is pretty simple how to avoid such issues. I have gotten into some issues as I have said before I stand up for myself and I don't go down easily and I have been this way for the past year. 

Finally my main point of this is to tell people to just... be mature. In these times don't focus on these trolls as they don't matter. What they say means nothing, they cant hurt you they cant do nothing. They cant "hack" you or get you banned. Even if they do you will just get your account back contacting support. You will be fine just don't intervene with anything that has nothing to do with you. Have a wonderful day everybody.
