The site does provide us an option to block any members who are toxic.

When you put a bunch of children on an unsupervised playground, this is what happens.  And then you throw in parents (staff/moderators) that dont believe in holding those children accountable.

Yes we can block members but we can't stop them to write on forums about us... there should be an option also so we can stop them to write about us.

You mean something sort of a gag order against a certain individual. Dunno it's that's possible here.

I agree! People are offensive on the forums!

Reporting is an option for caustic behavior in the forums.

Why not coppersock? 

Those seem to be popular now.  Even Brett Favre has Jerry Rice doing commercials with him now.

I would like to see him as Cashmeresock. That name has a ring to it.

Kevlarsock would be nice a well. 🧦🧦

The reporting here amounts to your kid burning down the neighbors house, and mom an dad put the kid in time out.

If you feel the need to report everyone who doesn't talk to you nicely, perhaps chess isn't the game for you

To report only 3 members within 4 months not a big deal.... Chess is for everyone who wants to play... but some are not playing game actually... only they write on forums... it is more strange !

Not strange at all. People like to study chess, play chess, talk about chess--all perfectly normal

But staff don't take action always on reports... as i reported 3 members but only one of them got warning. 

Maybe the staff didn't think the other two cases deserved a warning. Just because you report someone doesn't mean the staff is going to warn them

So it mean everything depends on staff? May be some people are toxic but if they are right according to the staff, it's ok and others should accept their toxicity. Right ??

Not at all. It just means that not everyone accepts your definition of "toxic." And why should they?

Laskersnephew

The fact that you feel "toxicity" doesn't mean anyone else does, or that the staff is required to take action. You are not the sole judge of what is or isn't toxic. You don't have veto power over what is said on the forums. You have the right to complain--which you exercise freely, but you are one voice among many. You seem to be under the impression that the forums should be regulated in accordance with your feelings
