Chess.com account shows up in google search

Whenever I google my name, the first thing that shows up is "name surname (TheLegendHimself222) - Chess Profile"

The thing is that I haven't connected my chess.com account to google/facebook and my name is not mentioned in my profile, but it still shows up, is there a way I can remove my account from showing up in a google search?

Not sure if thats the case, but it makes some sense... I think a simple solution to that would be an option for your account to not show up in google searches

Fine, but facebook has this option "do you want search engines outside of facebook to link to your profile?" I wish chess.com had an option simillar to this happy.png

If you don't want to have your username pop-up when people search it, use something people will never search

Thats not the problem, my account shows up when I google my name and surname, not my username... but the thing is that my chess.comm account is not linked to facebook/google in options and its not mentioned anywhere in my profile... so how does the internet work? happy.png

Exactly, when I google search my real name the first thing that comes up is my chess.com account with my real name and after that (thelegendhimself222) and I just think thats dumb, I had my account connected to facebook before, but now its disconnected from both facebook and google, so why does it still show up? I think that there should be an option like the one that facebook has, I mentioned it above happy.png

If you don't want your name to show up on the internet, don't use the internet. It's as simple as that.

You dont understand my point... why would my name show up if its not mentioned anywhere, my account is not connected to google or facebook... why isnt there a "do you want search engines outside of facebook to link to your profile?" option, but for chess.com? That option would be great happy.png

Your names shows up because you had it on your chess.com account at some point.

Avatar of TheLegendHimself222

Alright, but I think they should add the option I already mentioned above happy.png

You clearly don't understand how the internet works, if you did you wouldn't have posted this forum to begin with.

Already asked you to explain how the internet works, but you never did... happy.png you just ignored it and kept replying with your bs with no real info/help, probably a troll grin.png

Hmmm...  let me think. Ok, here's a basic explanation:

Once you put something on the internet, it's there forever

So, let me repeat myself again... if thats the case, how can facebook have that option, the one I mentioned around 5 times and you never responeded to that? happy.png
