Hi, I'm just trying to have fun here but having to see certain flags displayed next to my opponents' names ruins it. I noticed that Russia and Belarus are banned but for some weird reason, not Israel. Is there an option to manually block or hide specific flags from appearing? Thank you.
No, there's no option like that and unlikely to ever be one

Interesting that my comment was deleted when I was actually neutral and suggested banning both or neither?

You are NOT allowed to criticize a certain country that has a blue and white flag. Here is your answer on why.
I actually agree. Chess.ckm seems very unfair. They banned the Russia flag meanwhile they don't ban the Israel flag.

chess isn't politics, it's a board game. I doubt any isreali or russian chess players drive tanks and make bombs in their free time (instead of studying endgames).
Alright, you Israeli apologist, I’ve seen your pathetic responses all over the forum, not every country is actively committing a genocide against an indigenous population, so. No, not every nation is actively slaughtering people for its flag to be grayed out .. And it’s absurd that we’re even talking about chess players -who don’t drive tanks- while Chess.com bans Sergey Karjakin from prize events just for “supporting” a war. Source:Chess.com on the Invasion of Ukraine :https://www.chess.com/article/view/on-the-invasion-of-ukraine
- Is GM Sergey Karjakin allowed to play on Chess.com events?
“Individuals who support the war are not eligible to participate in prize events.”
Is Karjakin out there driving a damn tank? No. Now, let’s apply that same logic to your precious Israeli chess players. Oh, wait, conscription is mandatory in Israel, so every single one of those players has served in the terrorist organization so-called IDF. So, why aren’t they banned from prize events? Your logic is a steaming pile of garbage, eating itself in a pathetic loop that only proves you’re an idiotic, hypocritical son of a bit.
