erik, we are frustrated
Sort:
what seems to be lost on many, erik, is how vibrant the cc community has been, and how to continue it.
1. The bots are the inevitable result of using low-cost or no-cost AI tech to control the wily, unpredictable, troublesome, unpleasant and quarrelsome human beings that flock to any web site and abuse the Chat, Forum Message and Game playing capabilities. Blame H. Sapiens. Alternative would be to hire human monitors and make the annual subscription 10x more expensive.
2. You don't have to retype, just ctrl-A to select all, ctrl-C to copy, then ctrl-V to paste.
3. Please do not confuse talapia with Management, I am only interpreting based on observation. Management has designated me a poor sport at times, or so I think, I am not really sure what my status is now. I get asked after every game to say "Good game!" to my opponent, so clearly the bot deems I require training diapers.
And she had fun,fun,fun till her daddy took the T-Bird away!

They are just doing it for your own good. To keep it a fun and friendly place for all. It seems like the things people want here aren't fun and friendly, so, they have to remind you what fun and friendly is. Whether you like it or not.
You are right at least at the sugestion/complains follow up. I send three sugestions (at least!) and not even a "Thank you for your message!" i received. The site is cool, the community is nice, but - don't know if i'll receive some penalization, but - when i played on lichess (several years) always answered my messages. After all, i'm only trying to improve something that i love.
I think people have different opinions on what the word improvement means. Baden didn't understand why going from unlimited consecutive posts in your own topic to 3 was an improvement. Many others dont understand why V3 is an improvement. As a general rule of thumb, if there is a big red flag, a notice/warning, or you are limited in some way, those are improvements.

Way to go PatriotGames...good post
"As a general rule of thumb, if there is a big red flag, a notice/warning, or you are limited in some way, those are improvements."
I understand what you mean, but this is a very dangerous sentence, IMHO.

Not sure why it would be dangerous at all. They chose the word improvement. They also chose the words "fun and friendly" And it seems like most, if not all, of the improvements are followed by the things I mentioned. I would imagine enforcing the fun and friendly policy isn't as easy as some people think.
Please Notice: This is a warning that we have detected you are not having enough fun! Please correct this situation immediately! Sincerely. The Fungi's
I wasn't comment your idea, but if you check https://www.chess.com/forum/view/for-beginners/my-yoyo-rating-kill-my-chess-passion#last_comment you'll see how i make 3 posts in a row. Check all tread and tell if i were trolling or the others. The autobot warned me, i'm sure not the others. Please check it.
But what i was saying is that state if you are limited in some way, those are improvements, is the path and the opinion of dictators. Of course, i understand what you mean, but limit somebody freedom must be weight, because it is bad by nature, even it may have benefical effects. But this is going offtopic, so...

I don't feel the need to complain about anything about this site. Just saying.

This also seems like a key point to me.
And of course I'm referring mainly to the forums. People who have been here participating for years seem often to be treated like pests, and the cavalier way with which the staff tends to slam-dunk those it deems unworthy only tends to belie their whole "polite and respectful" message (at least, to me).
Although this site started out as an "advice column" (if I'm remembering right), I'm guessing that the forums are by this point deemed just an inconvenient leftover by those in charge. And so we get nothing but a string of "hi"'s and "how do I get to be a GM in the next five minutes?"
I have seen useful chess advice given in the forums (mainly in the Chess Analysis section), but generally if you're a real student of the game you're best advised to stay away from here (or not to take it too seriously anyway).
What I think the forums are though is a sort of big chat room with picture-adding capability which makes it all quite comical and entertaining at times, and (at its best) a sort of a home-grown art form.
This was also true (for a while) on Yahoo Answers. Until they streamlined it and introduced new features presumably intended to emphasize its Answer-Man design. Well, of course Y!A was (and is) a terrible place to get much-needed info; but as an off-the-wall chat room bristling with one-liners it was (for a time at least) a quite entertaining place.
That's why Quora has a good reputation and Yahoo Answers is considered a joke now. Good moderation vs. lax moderation.

Answers to your questions Al, only bring about more questions, which would require more made up answers that might (and usually do) change the next day. So much easier to never begin the vicious circle. Let the bots run the show. They are the only ones that have the real skinny anyway. I'm sure staff has better things to do than to be concerned about such trivia. There's the funny video's to produce. Is it lunch time yet?
Here's a 3-minute video introducing the issue of this thread.
FYI -- Zuboff taught at Harvard Business School. And, if you really want to lose sleep, start reading her 500 page book, published in 2018. The last sentence of her video sums it all up.

Most of us took the blue pill, instead of the red pill, long ago. Great thread, Albert.

--- Interesting post. In my case I feel that improving things means to actually improve things. Yes I saw their point with the 3-Post rule when it comes to posting in someone else's thread to reduce spamming ( as I've mentioned elsewhere ). However having said that I will never understand the idea behind limiting my access to my own threads. I gather that I'm supposed to be monitoring my threads and yet I am blocked from them after leaving three posts ? Total Stupidity is best way to describe that situation !
yep, this is to the owner. so that he might get an idea of how some things here piss us off.
there have been numerous topics in the past few months about autobots, new "features", and we receive many responses, but never an explanation from a staff member that explains anything. complaints are many, yet you rely on other regular members to explain the workings of the site. the laughable part is that, as you continue to adjust, those regular members aren't aware of new implementations. based on the limited staff responses, it appears they don't know what the hell is going on and sometimes are lackeys for whatever you do.
i have created a few topics about the failures i have seen. they are populated with many others that have concerns. when a response from staff is "it was done for improvements", or, "we are working on it", there is never any follow up.
why is that?
i have sent three tickets dating back 13 days. no response to any.
how is it that concerns are ignored? erik, i'm sure this post could piss you off, but, really, how is it that concerns are ignored?
there are members shut out of live chess because of some stupid bot.
there has been no explanation for the board size shrinking.
there is a red banner that tells us we cannot post three times consecutively. many topics on this, but nothing from staff.
where is the customer service?
