It wasn't wrong. A Staff member warned you it wasn't a good idea to post it, but you went and posted it anyway. And then Lazydog said...."the mods ended up being the problem".....lol

Staff member said that it wouldn't be against the rules.

Knowing this, Hornet posted blog wary of the potential backlash and made it so the only thing referencing Hitler was the thumbnail and they still took away TB

This isn't just about blogs, chess, politics.. I think Hornet's case has pointed out a very sad irony: Chess.com is making their site worse for users by attempting to improve it

Also true. cough cough "variants, streamers, and paying members.

bro i really want to talk about variants because thats kind of my job but i'll steer away from it cuz hornets case is more important

Yeah lol so ridiculous. I used to play 4pc and stream 4pc all the time until they killed server

I'm guessing it was an auto-feature which is responsible. Mistakes happen. I'll bring this up with chess.com mods/staff and see if they can correct it.

so did Radon but after the merge he stopped playing rated, made a league, but the league lost all popularity too, so he stopped streaming as well

i saw his face for the first time in a year few days ago for w4pcc finals

Radon is great. We collabbed for Bughouse CPQ which was a ton of fun

CPQ itself was a hoax lol. I thought it would bring more popularity to variants but in the end it was just another money grabbing scheme that brought people in and out in a matter of days

also this is getting off-topic we can move to dms or discord or something

Yeah for sure. CPQ was I thought a great idea but that also is nonsense since cc got a partnership with Twitch. I didnt even get paid out half the time

Here's why I'm taking Chess.com's side. In the 15 or 20 yrs that they've been here, they've learned a thing or two. They've learn't that the sheer mention of hit-ler is going to upset at least 2 groups of people.....the Germans, & the Israelis. If you throw in a half dozen other countries.....Italy, U.S. Russia, U.K......there are at least 20 million people who can not play chess because of that guy.

If the blog was "not breaking any rules" then why did your TB get removed it makes no sense

Avatar of RonaldJosephCote

The TB got removed because they do not want to award it to someone blogging about Hitler. I know that seems to be too much for you to understand but that's how the world works. Why did Mark Zucherberg steal 30 million followers from Elon Musk? ANS.....that's how the world works.

Then why would a staff member explicitly tell him before hand that the blog post wouldn't be breaking any rules?

A lot of very naive ppls here. Nazis and fellow travelers go out of their way to pull stunts like this on and off line, then whine about their freeze peach or they were "only " asking questions/having a discussion, etc.

As a history buff, I was somewhat sympathetic to OP. Then we learn he thought a thumbnail of Hitler was a good idea.

No dude, just no. And if you need someone to explain why, then the mods made the right call.

A true history buff would realize that us ignoring certain people and events in history is why USA is screwed right now.
