*Snip* Antisemitism seems to be the exception where people from mainly the USA and Europe appear to be proud to hate *snip*. There are lots of people who need to do some soul searching. But also chess.com needs to step up and have automated protections in place to prevent this sort of abuse.

It's exceptional and historical. It's specifically called antisemitism not racism nor religious hate.  As for soul searching, probably all parties have to do this.  We are all unfortunately held accountable in the public eye for our associates' sins.

Hate is bad, even hate for evil imho.

Automated hate speech detection can easily end up in wider censorship.  Maybe they should not have anonymous accounts anymore so that people are accountable. But then of course the membership numbers would drop. It's a business after at all.

Antisemitism is a silly made up term made popular by the media, attacking someone for being a Jew is racist, not antisemitic.

I'm really sorry to hear that this is happening.  It amazes me that people who have been handed everything on a platter can be so hostile to people from a country that has had to fight tooth and nail, day after day, for 75 years just for the right to exist.

The USA had to fight tooth and nail too.

No, but your friends and relatives rule your head.  Try thinking for yourself.

He is thinking for himself, the Jews control a large portion of the world, which is a fact.

Looking at your picture, I can understand why some people have a feeling of antisimianism. There just aren't a lot of simians around here and consequently, they are a minority. And like all minorities, they will inevitably be picked on. I would encourage you to embrace and be proud of your simian heritage and don't be shamed or intimidated  by any.......

Oh wait.....you said "antisemitism".  Never mind.

Because everyone here believes violins is the answer.

Not me. I think there's too much sax and violins in most orchestras.

I don't think there has been any moderation at all.

Artigas says there is partial moderation. Not as good as full moderation, but better than no moderation.

Moderate moderation or moderation in moderation

Absolutely not, that lets the trolls win. Just block your chat, there is no need for it anyway and it invites abuse. Taking shots at you for being Jewish is just the low hanging fruit, if you weren't Jewish they would just say something else that was rude.

Should flags be forbidden?

People playing chess are more educated (usually). Showing a flag does not mean that you agree with everything your government does or did, doesn't it?

Well no, but maybe if OP changed their flag, people wouldn't assume they're Jewish

Why should anybody have to change their flag because other people are racist? Would you ever considering changing your U.S. flag because chess.com users as a whole suddenly started badmouthing Americans en masse?

"My maple leaf has eleven prongs and two bars that I would tell them to shove up their...." I think fifty stars and thirteen stripes would hurt more

If he insulted you as an American I would turn around and say, "hey, he had only insulted an American!", don't like it, change your flag.
