Surprisingly it's less bright after I took a snapshot of the picture.

It's extremely bright on the main (not snap-shotted) post.

If I cheat in a school examination, I will not get my Chess.com account closed.

Finally.

 

I didn't realise that light blue colour would be very bright even though it was obviously still readable (albeit with some difficulty).

Because this website isn't as "hardcore," as it once was. Years ago you used to be able to get away with insulting each other to a certain extent. Now if you say one thing against this websites rule's you automatically get banned or muted.

My account isn't closed. It was just a fun joke that somehow happened to fool some people.

A real account that got closed for abuse will have a red circle icon, not a red X.

oh how times have changed
