The fact that they didnt remove it gives me faith in humanity

This is an intriguing situation. I would advise the OP to write about historical figures like Hitler on a different blogging platform and simply include a link to that blog post here on chess.com for your readers. That maintains your happiness and Chess.com's.

And why did it take them a whole seven days or more to finally bring down the blog? Well, they've mastered the art of procrastination at fixing bugs and taking business decisions.

I think the problem might be some parts of the blog including debatable history and politics, like the end part about Hitler and Lenin.

Chess.com is racist / inflammatory / politically against Mother Russia.

Rules as intended vs rules as written.

pls stop, I've had this suspicion for a while, but now I can see that you're just trying to stir up the crowd.

Imo, the situation was avoidable, but the top blogger removal is definitely a harsh punishment for something isn't against the rules. But then again, chess.com staff gave Hornet top blogger, so they have the right to remove it.

Real, I think if it happened to me it wouldn't be that big of a deal but for other people it is different.

*busy schedule* bro aren't you a senior now

bro I finished up my freshman year a month ago and I just got back from a 3 week long vacation 💀💀

didn't you say you were older than me

originally i was gonna say freshman but i said senior because im becoming junior next year and you said you were older than me

I'm entering my sophomore year this upcoming semester. Compared to the rest of my age I started relatively late for my grade level because my parents didn't want me to be on the younger spectrum of my friend group, and also because in the early beginnings of my life I resided in Seattle, which I believe is a national outlier when it comes to the age at which students are required to be registered for school. Also, being homeschooled, I would say that the education level attributed to each grade are substantially different compared to public/private schools.

When Type joins the horde lol

Hornet I thought political talk wasn't aloud on chess.com blogs and u talked politics at the end so that was against rules

Not just that, Hornet will get less views because its not on the top of the blogs page or the today page.

Ok and? That's not that big of a deal especially considering that everyone in his bio will still be loyal readers.

Ok... so what? Posting blogs for cc has no actual value. Views don't matter, and neither does the status of tb. I think removing hornets tb was excessive, but that doesn't mean anything of importance was lost. It's only an argument of principle, no real harm imo

I don't get why some of ya'll are acting like chess.com is not even allowed to remove Hornet's top blogger status. They gave it to him, so they can remove it. Was it fair to remove it? Imo no. But did chess.com do anything illegal? No.

"Illegal," would be the wrong word to describe it, but "extremely unfair," is good enough.

are you blind
