A lame attempt to stir up an old argument which both Erik and David most likely put behind themselves long ago. Someone is watching too many soap operas.

Awesome Eric is a fatcat, no one can deny it.

A smartcat. This site is a gold mine not close to being monetized to its potential.

YEah, that's credibility.

It appears the page was created by someone who worked there before:

the site says only 5 % of the chess.com forum content is about chess

that's quite pessimistic view, I would say it is at least 20 %

the topics are > 50 % chess related but the trollism starts inside the threads, if you have a look at the postings, I would say < 30 % really chess related

and the thing with the rage comments: fully agreed. I sometimes think when reading them, that if ever an official site sees the profile comments on chess.com, they label chess.com as adult only site

      Bob, you've been here for 3 months.

that being a long time member, does not change things do the better, can be seen at your profile

     I'm not a long time member, I've been here 3 yrs. Some people have been here for 7

Always been amazed that the nasty words stay in the profiles for years. I mean, if I am the player and somebody posts this in my profile, I erase it the same day. Then again, chess.com could erase it (or do a software that erases it automatically or not allowing it at all or whatever). But nothing happened..

Now there are millions of profiles on chess.com with adult language. You do not get rid of this problem anymore. And sooner or later this will cause a big problem for chess.com

      I'm just wondering why Robert decided to create a forum for this when he could of sent a link to staff in a PM.

what many people probably do not know: under settings you can change this way that only friends can leave notes in your profile

When playing bullet you get many rage comments - the adrenalin flow, you know..

It was one of the first things, I changed over here.

Honestly what I think that is, are people who aren't tech savvy. They don't even realize they have a homepage or what notes are. Maybe they see them, but don't realize others can read them, or that they can be deleted.

I've met a few people like this. I asked them why they didn't delete abusive notes and they didn't know what I was talking about

I've seen lots of bad notes but I don't ever get any. I must be doing something wrong lol
