Ah, the unspeakable parvenus that came out of the woodwork lately! Alas, the world is becoming less and less civilized by the hour, dear nainona. Nec Hercules contra plures, as my great-great-grandfather would probably say, we cannot singlehandedly change the ways of the world.
Education & community
Sort:
The community has been growing fast, you did a nice job on the game, visual & partners, but you did it the wrong way: this community is full of idiots who do not know even to salute when you enter a game, who do not adhere to the "chess etiquette". This wasn't like that in the old days, I can't remember a single game where some1 replied to my "lo" or "hi" salute at the start.
Yes, you can blame me for saying "what a focker" just in my last game. I never employed those terms playing chess except here, and I've been playing online since 56k modems.
It's just so sad that his has become only a site for rat elo players, that there isnt community nor any respect.
You can cancel my account, ban me, blame me, whatever you want. But the fact is that you have made a community full of bots, recognise it or not, a shame.
You've made the internet a bit less free, adhering to the stupidity of banning and modering words like "fxxk" and not educating thru the real etiquette.
Thank you ¬_¬
