From posting bad "stuff" to mean messages, some people on chess.com can be plain nasty.For instance, on my old acount (name not given for unknown reasons) I'd win a game and say GG and then sometimes the other person would start cussing at me and calling me a "hacker", I mean that term doesn't even apply here!  If anyone has ANY solutions to eradicate these people help would be appreciated. 

  THANKS!

Haters have no life. The good guys have chess. Don't let them steal your joy. Life's too short.

That stuff doesn't bother me.  It's the cheating that bothers me.

How can you tell if a player is cheating?

If someone is "ruining" chess for you, then you're a thin-skinned weakling who has no business trying to play chess in the first place!

If they win a lot of games online but not IRL.

What is "IRL?"

Avatar of Ziggy_Zugzwang

IRL is one abbreviation for Ireland. As someone who's grandfather's grandfather was Irish I don't know whether to be insulted or complimented.

Or you know... just In Real Life

If you say gg and it was based on a dropped piece, a cheap trick, or other mannerism that would result in a game being decided immediately, you are asking for trouble.

What I don't understand is why we need 500 threads on the subject.  Yes, people are mean on the Internet, no, there really isn't anything you can do about it other than whine and complain; they exist, just ignore it,  block them if you want, MOVE ON!

Whining does make for a good way to pass time...

Just go to the next police station and tell them of the many people you wish to eradicate.

They will offer you a solution, meaning you won't be bothered by the guys on this site anymore.

Isn't it the trash talk that makes online chess so much fun?
