Forum's Quality

If you want to filter out what you dont like or dont understand, private chat!

An elitist approach is not for the masses. the rules are simple.." Be relevant"..."Be nice".."Be helpful". Whatever dialect,whatever dialog and patronising remarks like "Masters truly contribute" would truly bring the forums to its knees as masters rarely contribute. I take it your a master then?

Couldn't disagree(did I spell that right?) any more. 

1.Some are more or less educated.  Some come here to " get away from it" and spelling and grammar are hardly what they want to be thinking about.  Some also find pictures and humor (eg fun) a good quality.  Sorry, you take the game so seriously u can't even have fun with it. 

2.  Focus...Maybe, but computer analysis will always be of interest to some.  If it is the arguments that makes you that angry then I hate to see how you get through a day of work or school or(shall I really continue?)

3.  accuracy+knowledge-Efren reyes(probably one of the top 5 pool players of all time) will watch recreational players play to get ideas because they have no boundaries as to what or what is not possible in the game. 

I give advice quite a bit and in some of it there are definitely errors.  But, there are a lot of good ideas and accuracy as well and I am far from a master.  If you confine yourself to masters you are missing out.  While pfren is a better player than myself I feel I can teach more people about the game at times(eg I ask him why something is much better...Because it is is essentially the answer).

But, you have the right to your (incorrect :P) opinion.  Thats what makes up a forum.  A bunch of different(wrong) opinions which I of course correct. 

enter the person without a sense of humor or the ability to use context.

BQ..why do you say a troll?

I've been on chess.com for several yrs yet just recently have been looking up forums. Shame on me!! They have been very helpful, not to mention entertaining as well. Although tactics is very important I am beginning to see the importance of sound positional play as well. Thank all of you.

How important is it to you?

It is good to see a thread develop/evolve. Even if it has nothing to do with title.Sometimes an unrelated comment is more interesting than the title, esp. if the thread has run its course. I myself have a scary anticipation of starting a title, i've argued with so many they would jump on it like fly's on s**t. 

Maybe they should consider buying some nice quality content

Your name would not happen to be Windows-7_, would it?

Forums with photos were often quite entertaining, and a great respite from the usual chessnut thinking.

Spammers have their place in the ecosystem.  Their absence is a loss for everyone, unfortunately.

Ye i thought chriss was very funny with his pics. Hes left .com now. Disenchanted by the lack of responsability in control.And users. Were left to our own devices, any problems, we have to sort them out ourselves. Now and then we have to wake them up to see if there still there.
