Why is it like that now when I go to my clubs??  The other setup was more practical. Wasn’t it? 🤨

I'm sure many of you don't know this but you can actually (with some skillful work) enable a club to play music. While this doesn't work on some Chess.com platforms it still works for many, while I do believe adding music to club(s) may seem like a good thing, it's unfortunately not. Clubs randomly playing loud and subjective audios (music especially) for most members, this isn't helping the club experience... it's ruining it. What one person may find pleasing, another won't and what one person likes (taste in music) isn't the case for every member in the club. Why should a owner of a club or even a super admin be able forcefully play audio on my device? So why does this chess.com feature exist? 

Customizable Training Bots Chess.com should add a feature that lets you change the style of the bot (e.g., aggressive, likes to gambit, or safe) This is a good way to train yourself. You can also change what part of the game is stronger or weaker or more aggressive. Credit goes to me.

so, I left my league division but now in its place there's the "play" button. why does there need to be a play button when there's already a "play 10 min" and a "new game" button? isn't it unnecessary?

there is this guy [public accusations are not allowed -- MS] (he has other accounts) he's a troll, not only that but he has been sending inappropriate images to people this needs to stop ADMINS, STAFF, MODERATORS PLEASE I BEG OF YOU, ALONE WITH OTHER INNOCENTS TO TAKE ACTION. (WARNING!!! DO NOT DM HIM) proof: [removed]

He switched to France earlier this year, but is still on the U.S. leaderboard.

(Fishtick just wants more achiewments like example: you got a brilliant move in one of your games, you have got all the flags, you have played all the openings or you have got 1-1000 messages)

all there adding is pretty much bots and thats it, they should just add something that is REALY cool

Hola soy nuevo en este grupo me meti sin querer saquenme

The club is called “the fanwings” and it seems innocent at first, but once you join, there will be tons and tons of forums discussing topics that always end up in a weird way, also there is occasional cursing, and talking about politics and more 18+ topics.

In my opinion, the admins/moderators and forum users should agree on a standard as to what upvote/downvote means (it is getting worse more recently with useful posts getting downvotes, while completely irrelevant posts getting upvotes [I mean posts that are irrelevant there]). I prefer the following: Upvote/downvote: use it to show your opinion about the value of the post (which includes filtering out spams). The relevance of a post is part of its value, but there is a difference. React with thumbs up/down: To show whether you agree or disagree with a post

So I am a huge ultra bullet enjoyer on lichess; I would love nothing more than playing it on chess.com since I fully believe the premove system works better especially with ultrabullet. But a big reason why I don't is that it doesn't have it's own rating. Reasons ultrabullet should be separate from bullet: - Bullet reflects skill and not entirely mouse speed, while ultra bullet ONLY cares about mouse speed. - Ultra bullet games are sooo chaotic that its not even comparable. It's like your bullet games affecting your blitz rating.. - People shouldn't be able to climb to on the bullet leaderboard while mainly playing ultra bullet.( I think you know who I mean) While there's clearly better bullet players like hikaru and alireza, he's which I don't think makes any sense. I have seen so many people asking for this over the years yet still hasn't been implemented. Do you think chess.com will ever make a separate ultra bullet rating?? This is just my opinion tho and thank you for reading🙏.

Lot of people are using country’s flag that they couldn’t even locate on a map which makes this achievement less valuable. Chess.com should find a solution for that 🥴

I think it would be great if you could see the pool of players looking for a game and the time control at any one specific time. I like to play 60 min + 30 sec but it is hard to find a game on this site. However, when I go on to lichess I get a game really quickly and I think it is because my opponents can see the offer of the game. So a player that normally plays say 60 minutes flat, may see my offer and think 'that sounds ok I'll go with that' and vice versa.

Blogs have been a part of chess.com for a while now and I was wondering if you guys actually read them. React if you do, if you don't, and if you didn't even know about blogs on chess.com.

Why is Chess.com so heavily focused on commercialization? It would seem that chess is growing in popularity every year... There are more and more players on chess sites, including Chess.com... Yet the features of Chess.com are becoming less and less accessible for those without a premium account 🤷 A year or two ago, in Puzzles, participants were given 5 attempts per day. Now that number has been reduced to 3 attempts. Why? Personally, I stopped solving puzzles altogether a long time ago, and not just on this site. But there are those who find it really beneficial. Limitations exist, but why expand them even further? Also, something else that surprised me from the relatively recent changes... Computer analysis of games. Only 1 opportunity per day is given to analyze a completed game using the engine for players with a basic account... Now, even if the game analysis has already been run by another player—for example, by your opponent—that analysis is no longer free for you! It counts as an analysis used on your side as well... This wasn't the case before. I think these are terrible restrictions. I don't use computer game analysis often, but sometimes I want to do it. As a long-time user of the site (10 years), I can't help but express my confusion about this policy of restrictions. Best regards

Why doesn't chess.com have a tournament bracket? I mean wouldn't that be so much fun to play a bracket with your club or with friends? 

About 5 months ago, I made a forum post about an issue with the clubs button in the android app. If you didn't know, you can just navigate away from the page in app to say a p orn site or the dark web or something, while still being in the app. On paper this means it looks like you spent 2 hours on chess, when you were actually hiding a p orn problem from someone or something else along those lines. I was told by both support and martin (the moderator) that the problem would be addressed as soon as possible. Instead, we got a table slam, bots nobody wanted or needed, a change to puzzles, and more that I probably forgot. What gives, is pressing f more important than someone's mental health, or do you ignore this so you can keep customers?

(Fishtick would really want it or is it even possible)
