What is happening to chess.com? Is it the end? I have the solution.

Also, this type of spam has happened before and it got locked down. Looks like they figured a way around what was done.

How exactly did they prevented spammers from creating an account, pasting some text and clicking on publish?

There is a filter that works like that. Have no idea what the threshold looks like.

Beats me. I just know there was a spam storm like this a few months ago and that got stopped for a while.

My prayers go to chess.com I have seen many new accounts posting stupid threads that make no sense but not new accounts spamming the same thing.

The saddest part is that they seem to spam a phone number and a service, would be sad if they were trying to do some marketing.

I am just wondering, is this the end of human society? What have we become? Why am I watching so many retarded people creating accounts, posting trash threads and then closing their accounts?

Take a look at this example.

https://www.chess.com/member/dsadeswfreg465787

(Just in case the dude closes his account, he posted trash like this: )

 

 

 

 

When will chess.com require accounts to be at least 3 days old or so before posting? Seems like a good solution to me.

 

Well it's not been a month,since u joined.

I searched one of the numbers yesterday and the spam is pretty pervasive on other forums/sites.

Really? I havent seen a single spam thread in chesspub.

Martin_Stahl

I did not say chess related forums; just other forums in general.

Congrats to chess.com mods, seems like chess.com already activated their forces to resist this spamming attack.

The dude is still spamming retarded trash, this time with this profile:

https://www.chess.com/member/vashikarggqa

He joined 19 minutes ago, I was looking at his profile, refreshed the page, AND HE WAS GONE.

Congrats to chess.com mods.

If everyone would get involved and report spamming, it would make it easier on the mods.

Reporting is too hard in my opinion, and chess.com should implement a new way of reporting.

You need to submit a ticket which is a slow process, lasting days, and when they answer you back the account would be already gone not because of the ticket but because mods discovered it.

They need to add a button to each player's profile that says "report" and sends an alert to a mod when 2 users or more clicked it.

That way the community can participate on it, altough I dont know about abuse problems that could arise.

Controlling a mass of crazy internet people is hard.

Their antispam features clearly don't work. Example: estenssoro's new account keeps posting the same trash he did before getting banned, but his comments explodes 5 mins afterwards so when mods go to the thread all they see is: "comment deleted"

NimzoPatzer

Guys, I GOT A NEW GIRLFRIEND, I CANT BELIEVE IT!!!

Yes, chess.com needs to hire me, I would help them with their antispam systems.

Martin_Stahl

A member that posts off-topic isn't the same as a regular spammer. And the comment deleted comments are most likely moderator related. 

NimzoPatzer

I think Im going to create a fake mail and send her a message, curios if the dude will answer or if they just want to get the emails and sell them to companies to spam me with their products.

ArgoNavis

Sorry to say this Nimzo but that user has also sent me this:

Reporting is easy.  Click on Help & Support, fill out the ticket and submit. 

We cant keep dumbing things down because some dont want to put any effort into things.  

No wonder bullet/blitz is so popular...
