Since Erik looks at this thread occasionally, we get a lot of complaints about internet connections. Earlier this week, SpaceX launched a rocket from Florida with 60 satellites. The goal is to bring more internet to more people around the globe. Maybe Mr Erik should sit down with Mr SpaceX and hash out a deal. 
i received this-again: You are unable to challenge Titled and other protected players until you have played more games.
i had clicked on ~a 1100 player.
how is this still happening?
what is a "protected player"?
The way I get beat, I'm not one! Who do I pay and how much is it for *protection*?
Are you aware that anyone trying to use a Discover Card for payment is met by a "We don't accept Maestro cards" message as soon as they punch in the first 4 digits of their card? Obviously this is incorrect. If you don't want to accept Discover Card anymore, fine, but at least let Billing know and correct that message. They have been giving me the runaround for weeks now. Oh and my current diamond status is due to a fellow member finding the situation amusing and gifting me a 30 day. The following links document my struggle.

Earlier today no matter what I tried to post I got a red banner saying it was inappropriate.
Just the word "test" and nothing else (I wasn't quoting anyone) and I got the red banner.
Out of my 100s of opponents I've used the chat box with less than 5, and only with people who are on my friends list, and it was exceptionally friendly like "gg"
Meanwhile the troll who very publicly made multiple accounts to spam my topics a few days ago still has all those accounts open.
So how about you do your job and not send me threatening letters.
@llamonade: I’m pretty sure that this is a auto-mod bug that they are fixing.
I got the red banner for trying to post my results in Tactics Trainer earlier today. My smiley face and numbers violated Community Standards!! After the third attempt I received a 24 hr mute and was unable to post anywhere. The accountant here must be watched like a hawk to make sure he doesn't post any substandard figures!
I got the red banner this morning for trying to post the word "test" (after my other posts were rejected too)

Ok, thanks.
Thank BOT, I've been freed of the shackles of Mute!
I was the victim of a badly written bot today as well. This is unacceptably annoying.
Mutated bots! Who ya going to call???

They probably thought it was the singular of testes

They couldn't handle the truth!
martin, the alternative is what is in place now. nobody has a clue what their "score" is until they are placed with only other poor sports. i'm sure that generates tickets, too.
as an aside, how does one know if they have been paired with the other bad sports? and, what is the threshold for that?
I don't even know if the poor sport/good sport process is even being used yet to do any pairings now. What is being used is the general sportsmanship policy: https://support.chess.com/article/627-sportsmanship-policy
