About recent events

I'm not a psychologist by training, but it looks like psychological stories.                                  
 do downvoters somehow affect the technical component of the club or only the emotional state of their participants (~ "I depend on the opinions of others")?
I don't pay attention to it myself.

 the name wanderquenn has been sounding for so long that it sounds like a personal Terk's pain.
many players have already forgotten about this player, but he still remembers. wasting time creating new accounts and playing "Against the terk" can be a personal problem for vander. if terk wants it. it is not necessary to make the struggle against one person the meaning of life.
* in general, it should be pleasant and sad at the same time: someone chooses you instead of himself (self-development).

 as for Vepos, it seems that he likes masochistic stories with a long unjustified loss of rating (however, as sometimes I do). no one forces you to continue playing if "the game is not going today" (~if you lose). as for his block list, I'm there too) I remember how it happened: it seemed to me that he was playing against me, and I decided to play a couple of technically aggressive games against him. vepos lost his points and hitting the block didn't keep me waiting. and after that, it began to seem to me that he was adding everyone there who was on his way to the top (I'm not responsible for this, I could have been mistaken).

 fortunately or unfortunately, this block now means almost nothing: you can play with those who added you there. this is bad and good. this means that you are limited only in communicating and viewing each other's accounts. but they are not protected from fakes who want to lose your rating (I don't understand if the reports work). therefore, now the block is your personal assessment of another player (I add it there if I find the game extremely aggressive against me, if suddenly it's a "bad" beginner, if I just wasn't in the mood...).
                                                                                                                                                    I repeat, technically, the block now is your personal assessment, your stop list of bad mood. and this is again a psychological story that has little to do with the game itself.

I remember wanderqueen too, not just terk Whenever I see multiple acconts I just think about her... You shouldnt say a global concern is terk's

привет, Snezhinka

I'm so happy to know that you're still looking at the club. Though it's not very often for us to have a chance to read your thoughts, whenever you post, you are highly welcomed and respected

About Wanderqueen, if you spend some little time reviewing the most recent club notes, you'll see that I don't mention this username during this week, despite the ongoing teamers' matter. But our friendly members still remember her and suspect her. It's because she's the most famous for teaming, making multiple accounts, and damaging the top players' ratings and because in general, the teamers' methods are similar to hers

I want to tell you I don't have a personal issue with Wanderqueen. The thing that makes me have fought against her is that she keeps making dangerous attempts to destroy chaturaji and she verbally indicates her intention to fight against chess dot com and the chaturaji masters. Also, I don't really have any pain now, because I already recovered my lost ratings caused by Wanderqueen and I've been inactive in blitz and rapid for months

You should notice that Wanderqueen is neither a single person nor a single account, but behind her, that's a group of multiple accounts and possibly, her related fellows

And about Vepos, once he told me about the issues in some games vs you. But it's some months ago. And now I hope our community will become friendlier

I want to wish you a nice weekend

We should do a club-wide block on every teamer. Sanctions, if you will.

Yeah, and we all know how well sanctions work. Blocking people is probably about as ineffective as imposing sanctions on Russia

But its all we can do. Without an admin.

If we sent our armies to Ukraine and annihilated the Russian forces, Putin would have nothing to do but drop his nukes.

Yes, but the point is not to destroy Russia, but to save Ukraine. If we really care about the people of Ukraine, then the best option for Europe would be to stop importing Russian oil & gas entirely instead of berating developing countries like india for importing a tenth of that oil for discount prices. 

When did this become political?

I can't write in the subject of Vepos, I'll duplicate it here:

well yes. I wrote that I remember it as: my rating was lost "thanks to Vepos". And I decided to do it in your direction as well. In my understanding, it was fair (you to me, I to you)... moreover (not to mention you), it was at a time when, if someone set me a debut trap (of the simplest ones, only 2) = block (I didn't like them very much at that time in any sense, after it became "OK, this is also my fault"). In the end, after some point it became "sad to play without vepos".

And I now generally treat you neutrally-positively: 1. I have no interest in playing purely against you. 2. I do not approve and even sympathize with hikes from the top 3 to the bottom of the top list (because this is also my headache). 3. despite point 2, I (and many) like this "fighting character": he is the reason for the high rating. 4. and I do not approve of a slight temper: things can be treated more simply.

Point 4 was the message of my entire post: many moments can be treated easier if you reconsider your view of it and stop worrying. I'm just sure that most of the "problems" are not problems: for example, if there is someone's teamwork, then surely a report should work (and here, if help is needed, the club's task is to make the admins see it). If there is some personal dislike for the player, then it is unlikely that this is more than your general problems (there were cases when someone wrote "hey, ask ^him^ to remove me from the block, I was a beginner").

since the existence of time

Since this comment to be real. But it can be considered a big bang 2.0

The only true way to save Ukraine is if the Russian people rebel against Putin, or for ghost operatives to assassinate him and the Oligarchs.

Not likely however.
