back to the bots-
a member wrote the f-bomb in a very popular topic (over 10,000 posts). i quoted it to show, once again, how bad the bots are. well, upon quoting i was instantly muted. no red banner warnings, just muted.
the post with the f-bomb is STILL there.
this is similar to getting muted for writing h o m o sapiens (with no spaces). whoever is in charge of managing what the bots are programmed to do should be fired.
Yeah, quoting profanity is the hidden killer.
And for non-vets, you don't even know what's going on, so you usually try to post a few more times, which are counted as separate offences by the bot.
i went to an active topic in one of the groups i am in that was supposed to have three new posts. clicking on it brought me to posts from almost two months ago. whatever was 'new' was not there, as well as the posts i had made.
how is the ui so poor that this keeps happening?
And then on top of that the captcha plaguing every message we try and send is really doing my head in.
I wonder if the CAPTCHA is just fking with us half the time... because I swear sometimes I enter it correctly and it's just like "nope" for no reason.

i got that, also. for example, i wrote a message to you explaining how great you are. but, the captcha did not agree, and the message was stopped, so, i guess you aren't so great.
in my blog (can also be found on my profile page) everyone may solve my puzzle codes instead! 
probably everyone has a negative experience with the current codes from the chess.com bots these days but I want to show you how some codes can actually be fun to solve
the link in my bio is no scam link xD
interesting. let's see if there is a staff response to the issues or the advertisement.
All of you must know that chess.com is doing some kind of experiments in order to make it a very friendly place for all. Bots are learning human speech that include good words and bad words. There are humans who try to fool the bots by typing bad words in innovative ways. But, the bots are learning those 'innovative ways' too. So, we should have patience. And as chess.com have millions of users, minor technical problems may occur now and then. It will be corrected sooner or later by programmers and sometimes by bots. 
So, don't make a storm out of a tea cup. Tea cup is meant for tea only. Have a tea and chill and go on playing chess.

Advertising?
it's no advertising, it's a combination between a joke (because it's both about codes) and an invitation
it's not like I am begging everyone to join a certain club or so 0_o
I can be childish and call 914 advertisement as well but I am not like that
I won't name anyone, and I don't care if anyone will know or not it's them I'm talking about.
But let me tell you, how delightfull it is, to see some members who mocked me and bashed me cruelly in the past, (under previous account) for me complaining about such unfair things and flaws in Chess.com system and features, now whining in turn for the so very same reasons.
This is one thing I learned in life: one doesn't need to take revenge, for "karma" does it all for us.
thank you for being so specific about the things on cc where you would like to see change.
Yes, 'karma' is a popular word. We, Indians use it very frequently. What I said above is name of chanting song which is very popular. The song is very relaxing. Feel free to check it in Youtube.

I checked that puzzle in your profile. It is nice and interesting. Keep going.
i have recently been told that mods are directed to tell members to go to open discussion when certain topics arise. it seems to be in the handbook.
i've been here for many years and have seen this many times.
except, the new and improved tos explicitly state that there can be no advertising! even for clubs!
yes, i'm being dramatic to make a point.
back in 2010 it was relatively normal for staff/mods to push any religious or political talk to od. that was fair.
then, staff explicitly stated it was leaving od and allowing moderation of the group to the appointed admins-regular members like you and i.
and now cc has many discussion groups. so, staff, mods, please do not direct those that write about adult conversations to od. it is not only against your own rules, but it is also od.
