Well thats some pretty thin skin. Was this his first day on the internet?
Chess.com is pretty tame next to, say, Starcraft. If I even hinted at the stuff I was called there I would be banned from here.
My response was usually to type "umadbro?" over and over.
It's just tedious. You got guys out there that can beat each other up and laugh about it in the end while in gaming forums guys stoop to the lowest possible levels over some disagreements about spreadsheets. I'm not expecting people to hold hands and sing kumbayah but I do expect a little decency.
The internet just seems to be a place where such disregard for others is supposed to be expected and it's all just tedious.
Hi all,
I joined chess.com yesterday. I coach kids and I wondered if this was a site I could recommend to them. I haven't played for a while but I am 2149 FIDE, so I know the moves.
Anyway, played a game and won and my opponent (Magnus_Eisengrim) went into this long rambling argument that I was cheating using a computer. I shrug it off, then play a couple more games. I get 2 private messages below from another user (MASTER1STUDENT2):
1. - 'PIECE F SHIIIT YOUR BLOCKED !'
and very oddly -
2. WHEN YOU MINDED LESS PEOPLE PLAY CHESS , SOMETHING YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THAT WHAT WE GET IN A BULLSHIIIT SITE !!!!!!!!!!!!
So, are many players on Chess.com such bad losers? I can't honestly recommend this site to the kids I teach if this is the sort of nonsense that goes on. What do the mods do about it?
As I say, I am very new here (1 day only) so I would be grateful for views.
I would block them and move on. I'm the king of blocking ppl.
Connor, you block everyone. You should maybe unblock them all for the new year. :)
ps. this year, not next year.
