Ways for Chess.com to improve

I reckon they'd let me in if I asked.  I'm just not big on joining exclusive clubs.

I'm a peasant, mind.

i was kinda hoping that other people would agree with some of my original points, and that the site would take note and make some changes that benefit the users. at the very least, people could add in their own suggestions for improvement.

instead, we have mostly silliness and off-topic banter.

Crazy. My rating is 1559 but my highest win is 1944.I play well some times.

Pay attention to the thread! that means that you are  automatically a cheater and gives the OP the right (but not the obligation) to use his engine of choice against you Laughing

Chess.com should increase the tactic trainer per day for basic members.

1. we do block cheaters. and you can disable chat and add someone to your personal block list at any time. and people suspected of cheating don't get to play against non-suspecting players anyway. 

2. my current bullet rating is 1386 (gone down a LOT since i got rid of my mouse :( ). my best bullet rating was 2071. my best win was against a 2320 player. am i a cheater because of this? 

3. EVERYONE takes time off (0.1 sec) for premove. ICC, playchess, etc. 

4. you only see 15 games because everyone else gets paired in less than 5 seconds. we don't show seeks on the graph unless they are there for more than 5 seconds. if we did, it would be a useless fireworks show. 

i look forward to your upgraded membership! :D

C'mon Pin, If you are going to maintain that you would like to become the instrument of change that makes the chess experience better, perhaps not pulling that crap in the first place would be a good place to start.  Engine(s), multiple accounts, cheats.  Respect the game..

all that is way in the past. can we move forward?

as Erik said, "and people suspected of cheating don't get to play against non-suspecting players anyway"

therefore, if i want to play non-cheaters, i use my main account and the opponent quality is much better. so, using my main account is a partial fix, but not a complete fix.

I am not a member, and I never will be until these things are corrected.

1. Allow for an easy way to block cheaters. For example, a button right beside resign and draw.

2. Allow for me to abort a game (before any moves are made) in the case where the person is OBVIOUSLY a cheater. For example, his highest rating at 3 minute is 1521, but his highest win is against a 2050 player. Chess.com took away my ability to abort games, and I never aborted a single game unless it was a cheater, or the person refused to play their first move.

3. Do not take off ANY time for a premove.

4. How could 14,587 people be online, and only 15 people be on the board offering a game!? Something isn't right there. Can I not see all the games offered because I am not a member, or is that number bs?

Let's go back to this list. I believe everything is answered, no?

                "I was kinda hoping other people would add their own suggestions; instead we have sillyness and off-topic banter".   You may cheat at chess but you don't know a dam thing about these threads. You haven't been here long enough to know about chess.com's cheating matrix.

Cheaters they use an engine to make moves. There are very few cheaters below 2000, and if they are, they are new accounts. Cheating is also extremely uncommon in fast games.

                  Primerana;  take the upgrade and don't concern yourself with cheating. I'm sure people are stealing from Malmart as we speak.

the first 3 points were suggestions, not questions, so they cannot be answered. when these things are implemented, then i will seriously consider becoming a paying member. judging by erik's response, that won't be happening anytime soon.

Not bad that the literal owner of the site posts in every crackpot troll thread.

  1. Blocking people is possible already
  2. You can abort live games before the first move, and chess.com already has anti-cheating procedure
  3. There seems to be no reason for a 0-second move, implementing this would make clock management less necessary

cheating is no fun for me. in 2012 when i got my engine, i cheated for 1 day while testing it out, but since then, i cheat only when playing obvious cheaters (and many times i am too lazy to cheat and i just get beat by the cheaters), because i detest cheaters and cheating. i don't care about my rating at all. i just want a fair game. this is my garbage account. you don't think that i would post this with my main account, do you?

You do realize this is just rationalization and you are exactly the same as those you claim to hate?

               Will you grow up!  Look at Erik's answer. Are there ANY clues to what's gonna happen in the future??  Do you REALLY think he'd tell you if he did know??   But I bet YOU know all about V3 in 6 days heh??
