Neat! Now the trolls can flock to their newfound nemesis rather the rest of us! 🙃

Well I’ve already gained the attention of forum trolls so why not pile it up on myself even more!

A raising of awareness is the first step. This club serves as a public representative and serious activities should start in about (1) week

I got the email today letting me know my premium sub expired for this site.  I came back on one last time to do a couple puzzles before saying my goodbye.

The last comment I made in the forums back in May got this eloquent response, because I said people who act immature and rude on this site are exaggeratedly immature. Proves my point quite a bit.

This is a nice thing you're doing by organizing an anti-trolling club, but why do you *have* to do it? You pay money to use this site, so why is the burden on you and people like you to moderate it? Why aren't there moderators already following up on language and behavior that would be completely unacceptable at any games or tournaments that occur in real life? Instead of moderation and the online equivalent of referees that are at every single IRL tournament, we get NFTs and a meaningless trophy system. The people who run this site don't deserve to be lauded for these features at all when they feed right back into the poot attitudes and egos running amok on the platform.

I'm not good at chess, and you don't have to be good to call out BS. I'll be on Lichess from here on. Have a good day.

Leaving the site out of frustration may not be the right answer, but am I wrong? I don't think anything I said was inaccurate.

Again, still a great thing you're doing.
