Lol, I didn't close my account because of your report, I closed it because of tilt.
Currently Most Famous Trolls On Chess.com?

I think this site lacks troll techniques. Pretending to report and pretending not to be a troll are some examples of them. I think trolls here are too innocent. Underestimating is their biggest weakness.
And I don't think a troll ever becomes a permanent enemy of another troll. Because what a troll says is never serious, is just having fun.
There are more challenging forums than this site, that's for sure.
"Because what a troll says is never serious, is just having fun."
That excuse could be used to justify anything.
It's not an excuse it's just explaining a troll's mindset. It's also helpful to know because trolls don't take their words seriously, so you don't have to either.

Can someone explain the whole Bacon / IMBacon thing to me? It seems like there is some kind of insider knowledge at play.
I know imbacon in person. And no i am not him. This kinda constant harassment got kindaspongey muted.
What do you want to know about him?
Oh, I just assumed you were him for numerous and good reasons.
But ok, you don't want people talking about it I guess.

bacon is no one. A sloppy tagging by that lion.
imbacon was a user who was fairly active in the forums. He wasn't an IM, it was more like "I am bacon." He talked about the benefits of the keto diet. He also frequently gave advice that was a bit negative (berating the player for playing badly, being too concerned with the opening, for not playing longer time controls, stuff like that).
He'd also compiled a list of good rules of thumb that included the opening principals and he'd give that advice to lower rated players.
Then one day he closed his account. Nothing to get excited about, a pretty normal guy.

I have no issue with people talking about it. I have no issue with people thinking im him. What i dont like, and what kindaspongey was doing was spamming/ruining other peoples threads. I asked him to stop, explained why and he wouldnt.

I remember IMBacon being very active during the whole Kibi era lol. So I understand IMBacon and kindaspongey are the same person or what do you guys mean?
I blocked kindaspongey a long time ago, that guy is insufferable, but tbh I never got that from IMBacon when he was posting in the disgustingly players topic. Seemed reasonable and humorous in a nihilistic way.

I dont quite understand why people close accounts they put years of hard work into.
Apart from having no guarantee that other people will even acknowledge and recognize the new account, you have to start from scratch again.
Why would anyone do this if they werent perma muted or fell victim to something along those lines?

I think some trolls are very self important.
When they're very self important does that annoy you?
. . .
Because that's why they act that way, lol

They generate negative attention. It disrupts conversations or even the community in general.
