My worst experience on chess.com: I suddenly received 2 weeks of free diamond membership for joining chess.com on facebook. Consequence: So excited was I about the premium membership, I did about 100 tactics trainer problems in a row, played several games of live chess on the premium live chess thing, and lost about 200 tactics rating points, 100 live chess rating points, wasted 3 hours, and is now staying up at 3 am with incomplete homework due later today.
Hahaha !
You are very fortunate to have receive a free diamond membership. Join the fun. This site can be very addictive, but I'm struggling with it and enjoying it.
Now, before the self-proclaimed site police scold me, I will keep on the subject. The best experiences I have had so far from others are those "thanks" given to me and the help I have received from thoughtful people on this site. I really have not had any bad experiences. I don't consider someone disagreeing with me a bad experience.
well, just to be the lone pessimist —forum police please don't shoot me with your hypothetical forum weapons— youve only been a member for 2 1/2 months, you'll run into the sore losers, people who want to make you meserable, etc. eventually! :)
What others say to me in a forum is their right, and I would rather someone say what they think of me, or what I might say, to my face than say it behind my back. The problem with writing in forums, or e-mail, is that those reading them cannot hear my voice or see my smile.
So far, no one has written anything to me that has offended me.
Humans smile now....wow the world is evolving soo quickly

yeah, I've had a grand total of 3 bad experiences in a year and a half:
one that started asking questions about where I live —disabled chat and ignored him
one that started swearing at me in a hopelessly lost position —at least he kept moving quickly and didn't drag it out.
And then there was the one in live chess that:
swore at me, ran down his clock (I think about 5 min), accused me of cheating, accused me of being a rich person hiring a chess expert to tell me the moves, and accused me of being part of a premium-member conspiracy with chess.com... all after I had played horribly and only won on his blunders!
STALKERS!!! :)

On the down side, I've played some extremely rude people. As for rude people, they're everywhere.
One Time I was playing Live with someone who accepted my seek ... The moment we started playing,he started to 'accuse' me of all sorts of things like why did I say this or that,etc,etc .... I had absolutely no idea what he was talking about so I juz ignored him ... Funny Thing was I din even say a word at all ... Sooooo Weird .. guess maybe he muz be real mad with someone else he played with earlier !
I used to meet a lot of 'rude' people when I first started playing on 'Live' but they seem to hv since disappeared n' it's like 'haven' now ! 
One of my Best Experiences here r kind/thoughtful People who try to help or answer our Forum Questions to d best of their abilities !

I honestly don't why I should have to wear clothes, like I'm going to a funeral, because you can't concentrate playing a girl who wants to wear something comfortable? Unless this is some ploy of yours to distract me, by making me feel self-conscious about my cleavage
OK, well in that case, the next time I go to a tourney and play a female opponent, I think I'll strap on my 3-foot-long day-glo codpiece...just cuz it makes me feel comfortable.
It makes you feel comfortable?

Oh come now, trysts, I think we all know you well enough now to know that if you're blushing it's only from your 4th martini!

I'm only on my third vodka/cranberry/gingerale drink, cystem
Just at the point where I wish EVERYBODY was drinking with me! It's such a beautiful evening! It's like my best Chess.com experience!

My best experience on Chess.com: when I discovered the pleasures and delights of online chess.
