At last, the chess.com fair play report has been posted. I still can't tell if it is better or worse than last month. I will let you guys decide.

  

(Section 1: Update on Cheating and more)
1 million reports created???? That is approximately 309,824 more reports than  last month, which isn't very good.

Last month's provided by Larry, thank you Larry <3

You also probably notice there are 5 more titled closures, the most being 10 being Fide Masters and Woman Fide Masters. There were also 15,783 more accounts closed for guess what? Cheating!! The good thing is, there were less abuse closures this month. More rating points were refunded this month, and less mute actions were made. Now, I'm  going to talk about something I didn't before. 

(Section 2: Bots)

I'm not quite sure what to name this, or if that is the specific term for this. Anyway, I used to talk in the Chess.com community notes. Every once in a while a bot would show up, and let's just say they would make racist remarks and inappropriate things. I even had to contact the one and only Sam Copeland for help because of these bots. I'm not sure if I need to blur these screenshots out, but I will take the blog down if neccessary.

This is not good

I left the notes because of that, and now I've pretty much retired from social all together except for a select few clubs. I don't know if this still goes on today, I wouldn't know. I also had a conversation with someone about this topic. I think the conversation got deleted or something, because I cannot find it. But that's all for now.
