Strikes Suggestion

How about showing how many strikes you received in Community Guidlines which can be shown on your profile pic but to be clear

If you received a strike based on the Community Guidlines, you will receive a notification that you have a strike and when you open your profile you can see how many strikes you receive by violating the community guidlines.

But later, if you follow them for a certain time, they go away, right?

I think people with bad thinging should remove from chess.com . By this the player will get attentive and later he will again start doing all his stuff. So, I disagree

Agree to disagree.

its just implementing something that creates a bad impact on somebody... is this really necessary?

@TheRealDiamondGenius  I understand your suggestion, however, if other people know you've received strikes against you, then this could indirectly promote them to report you for unauthentic reasons, just to get you in more trouble.

 

SUGGESTION FOR STAFF

I think it's a good idea for all users to know:

1.  Users should be promptly notified if they receive a strike and the reason for it.  And also should be able to respond, in their own defense, depending on the circumstances behind the strike.  For example, if another user is accusing them of something, they should be able to justify their behavior, if they want to.

2.  How long do strikes last if you receive them/are reported for infringing the chess.com community guidelines?

3.  How many strikes does one need to receive or their severity, before you are kicked off chess.com or perhaps as an alternative your account may be "temporarily suspended" for a period of time?

Yeah! People should give a chance of defend their self but the chess.com community also screech the reason for sending the report and around two hundred people can't lie at the same.

I think that your points are all good ideas, especially #1. It could create a safeguard for those who actually are following the rules but get accused anyway.

We have some similar ideas coming up.

But we are unlikely to publically display negatives about people. I know for one I would hate for the world to see a little tattoo on my forehead for every time I did something stupid.

yeah, right about that JD

I would have run out of room on my head for tattoos a long time ago....

@jdcannon  I understand it would not be appropriate to publicly "shame" users, but I do think the three suggestions I listed above do make sense.  Not sure if you had a chance to read them?

Users should be promptly notified if they are reported for some issue(s), that way they can be more aware of their behavior and take the necessary steps to improve and correct it.  The users don't have to be told who reported them because that would obviously create hostility amongst users.

However, I do believe a user has a right to know question #2 and #3 that I mentioned above.

2.  How long do strikes last if you receive them/are reported for infringing the chess.com community guidelines?

3.  How many strikes does one need to receive or their severity, before you are kicked off chess.com or perhaps as an alternative your account may be "temporarily suspended" for a period of time?

 

Without knowing this information, it makes it more difficult to take corrective action for the user and to mitigate the occurrence from repeating itself in the future.

@CEHastings  Thanks for the feedback! happy.png  I appreciate it.

I'm not sure the users need to know when the strike goes away. If they know, they also know when it's "save" to misbehave again.

Avatar of kraunak60

Yeah! I agree. Your idea is good. But it will help smart bad people.

I agree

Avatar of Jonani

@Chessbovine  You've brought up a valid point.  Maybe a user doesn't necessarily know when the strike goes away completely, but perhaps know of a general time frame for its duration?  I'm assuming the length of the strike would depending on the seriousness of in the infraction.  More serious would last longer, etc.

You could also have members recommend to chess.com that another member receive negative strikes for behavior that benefits our community. For ease of understanding we could call them "balls", Maybe the expiration time would be like an "at bat". If you get 3 strikes or four balls, you start over.

@mrussryan1951 Very good idea! Then a Chess.com moderator could accept or ignore it based on the circumstances.
