No. You can delete your own first comment, but once you start a conversation it belongs to the community.
Erik from Chess.com here. Ask me almost anything!

Question: (1) Do you play hearthstone? Ben Brode (game designer for hearthstone) recently released a video about his thoughts on content updates (link here, you do not need to watch if you don't want to). He mentions some things I think we can relate to on chess.com like:
Lack of news in a long period of time gives the impression developers are lasy and not working. Then the one at fault is the developer lacking communication.
There is a right time to announce things, announcing things early can be dangerous since people can get tired waiting for release and things can change during development (it is better to underpromise and overdeliver than to overpromise and underdeliver).
(2) Any thoughts about these things?
(3) Are you happy with the communication done by chess.com regarding v3 and other content updates?
1. I do play hearthstone.
2/3. We have totally botched the communication about V3. We announced it way too early - but we didn't know. That said, we were caught in a hard place. People want to know what we are working on. But what we were working on was this. The issue is it has just taken TOOOO LOOOONG. In the future our iterations will be faster and faster and we won't have this problem. Fingers crossed.
Hi, yes, I understand the switch to a modern continuous conversation, excellent idea. It's just that I don't know how to switch between conversations.. I think quite a lot is missing at the moment on IOS..
Erik, If a chess player hits the 1.5 Billion $$ jackpot tonight, would you be willing to sell ??

Then why, if the creator of a thread blocks a person, that blocked person can no longer do ANYTHING on that thread.
If the conversation really belonmgs to the community then why is anyone restricted just becasue the OP gets a wild hair up somwhere and blocks a member of the community? (Oh, and you can't even "untrack" it so you keep getting notifications when new stuff is posted.)

Hello. I don't understand the message setup, it only displays a conversation with the last sender: how do I switch to other messages, there appears to be no inbox or sent box..?
In V3 we have moved more towards the same messaging systems used elsewhere with SMS, Facebook, etc where you just have one conversation with a person.
I'll say that it makes some things confusing. All messages that come from the site show up in the same thread. So, messages about tourneys, group news postings, etc are in one long list.
I'm not a member of many groups and I have a little trouble keeping up with them on occasion. For people with a lot of active groups, it has to be a nightmare.

Yeah. I don't like the messaging either. It's confusing to me. That other applications use it doesn't make it good.

I will quantify, that keeping messages from one person together, in general, is not terrible, just the ones I mentioned above.
Though, for people that message the same person, with different discussion topics, I could see where that would be messy too.
Maybe an option could be made to allow threaded vs conversation based display.
How do you find time to still do what you like and enjoy? I mean the site is number 1 right?

Hello Erik and fellow players!
Hey Erik I was wondering why there is a cap on the number of tournaments I can make? With Diamond membership I should be allowed to host a unlimited amount of events.

Is there going to be some way to revoke an invitation to a group, so that a person who devolved into an "undesirable" can be prevented from re-joining, posting garbage or snooping on the group content, then leaving the group befor an admin can ban him?

Yeah stop running mass invite scripts and pay attention to what you are doing.

OR maybe keep your fork on your own plate and stop trying to take other people's ideas.

Regarding tournaments:
Are there plans for making live tournaments easier to organize?
Also, are there plans to have special rating pools similar to 1 0, 3 0, 5 0 and other rating pools on another site? An advantage of such rating pools is that it has automatic pairings and only allow players with excellent lag and low timeout rates. Such pools are almost impossible to manipulate and tend to attract the best players.
Very important questions for erik.
