What Characterizes a Normal Chess.com Thread?

Or, the op blocks a bunch of losers from posting in the thread.

Most go through five distinct phases:

1. Denial
2. Anger
3. Bargaining
4. Depression
5. Acceptance

a typical chess.com thread is stupid, just like the people who create and post in it.

is this the best selfies contest?

"?/??/2014 - mate in 2"

"recent game"

or a thread about an opening.

Yes. I used to support myself solely through gambling and hacking credit cards. But then I went legit, as an international smuggler and drug dealer, and recently a pimp. Given how shaky the market is though, I am thinking of diversifying into either armed robbery, or maybe open up a doughnut shoppe.

you forgot two: abandon, revival

and 1 more... death.

you mean daeth

wrong, look at "should we delete this thread can you respond to a check with a double check?

well, both, yes. Although i forgot about daeth, and was thinking about the death phase.

what death phase!?!?

I think you mean reckless abandon.

no, literal abandon, although reckless abandon cn be considered

not acceptance, but trolling. Then after trolling, deletion

lol

Allow me to explain:

Some guy creates his own opining, he is 1200, and the opining is bad. A couple of experts or class A players explain to him that it sucks. He doesn't listen, that is the first stage, 1. denial. Then he gets all upset that his thread is getting no attention, so he gets angry and starts posting angry comments to people, like trolling, but not yet however. This is the second stage, 2. Anger. Then he gets desperate, and trys to bargain with the strong rated players, he might challenge them to a game and use a computer, or he might ask a high rated player to defend it for a price. This is the third stage, 3. Bargaining. Then, after realizing he failed at bargaining, he gets depressed. He barely becomes active in his created thread, and at this stage, it is best to leave. He realizes it and posts stuff like, why??, I almost made a good opining. That is the fourth stage, 4. Depression. Then he might, if he is actually a good person and serious, which is highly unlikely because it's less than 1%, than he accepts it and moves on while getting advice from other players. He then becomes sucessful, however, many don't choose this path of Acceptance. Instead, they just spontaneously decide to troll because they are bored. They go on a rampage, probably get blocked by a few members. This is the fifth stage, 5. trolling. Then the thread gets deleted, resulting in a disaster when he goes on a rampage outside a thread, and get's banned from chess.com. This is the sixth and final stage, deletion/banishment.
