Ban a user

Is there an option to ban a specific user when paying live chess?

Yes, there is.

How? Is the system not taking random users?

Dont play with this oponent if requested- or chalenge this oponent

Or at least I thought there was. I've never actually bothered to block someone but I've seen people say they've done it.

It's not random, people see your challenge and accept it.

When you click on Start game, i assume is sending a challange and the first user with the same settings will join the game. (In this instance i'm wondering if i can block a user from join the game)

Not true, there is a board with all challenges that a user can choose from and he clicks on one someone else started.

Not sure how to block someone.

I know about the board, you can choose a challange there, but if u click on start game i think it picks random

No, your challenge shows up on the board!

Go to account/privacy and block a usernme.....

Once blocked, a member cannot do any of the following:

• post notes to your account 
• send you messages 
• accept your game seeks
• be auto-matched with you in open seeks 
• join tournaments that you are running 
• post in content that you created

It's too much of a hassle. 

It would be nice to have access to fine-grained ban control/filtering from from the live chess interface. 

Think about how optimal you could make your experience and configure your trade offs with such a thing. It would be revolutionary.  Then patent it, and chess.com will be untouchable.

I think if you block user then he will not see your challenges anymore.

As there are a lot of nonsense people I have blocked a lot of users and dont't have run across them anymore since then.

Thanks guys, i'll give it try, will be great once i'll sort those "loosers" to be polite :)

take a lesson in politeness maybe then

The OP (Oniyris- or some such silly name) deserves to be banned for sure. He disconnected in an unrated game to avoid an unavoidable checkmate. What a jerk to inquire about banning someone. An did I say he's a weak player?

I'd wagger that around ~200 people got me blocked on this site.

And the other way around I got pretty the same amount of people blocked.

Often times, it's just mutual dismay.
