In recent weeks the volume of posts to the beta forum has rocketed. The purpose of the forum is to report bugs and provide feedback with regard to the Beta version.
The Chess.com staff need to review each post. As responsible members of the Beta community each of us should do our best to:
1. Minimize duplicate topics by:
a. Checking to see if there already is a topic. (see item 2)
b. Not posting multiple topics, instead post a comment
2. When posting a topic provide a clear concise Topic title so readers can accomplish item 1a.
Far too many times their is a topic of just "Bug". This is doing a disservice to the Chess.com staff and the Beta community.
Fix unclear topic title and topic message body via the Edit Forum Topic button:
3. Include screen shots and or links to the game or page in question to make reproducing/confirming the issue easier.
4. Don't hijack the topic with off topic comments or snarky/half-witty comments.5. Be considerate, There are young members and members where English is not their first language. Criticizing their grammar or spelling is not adding any value to the discussion.
6. Help the Chess.com staff by reducing the posting traffic by asking yourself "Do I have a comment that adds value to the discussion?" If no then don't post.

For fun... We've had 738 topics with the title "Bug" But the winner is "Suggestion" which we are creeping up on 11,000 topics with this single one-word title.
But seriously, I really try to read every word written in this club and honestly its been a serious challenge to keep up lately. I would really appreciate if we could follow @jas0501's advice.
11000 in 2021 is wild

excuse me but ummm was this forum supposed to be locked?
No. It was pinned, which means it stays at the top of the forum.
Forums get pinned in the hopes that people will read them before making posts of their own that do not contribute to the discussion in the thread.
