What's your point?

Repeating is the mother of knowledge => i just simply pointed out/repeated the two main points = basic site rules + about minors & children so that our members around chess clubs knows the basic information they need to know when they are present@Chess.com...

Our point is that cheating in any sense is NOT welcome + various types of predators, manipulators, trolls are NOT welcome@all!

Also, the point is that we need to be responsible because there are many children & youth in this SITEhappy.png

U realize people who don't follow the rules who see this thread won't bother to even read it right? You're just repeating with no effect.

you probably are right, but in any case, in practice, in everyday contact with a lot of people/members it's good to know who you are dealing with in order to preventing, to avoid various situations + problems

it could be said that this forum is for administrators around our chess clubs, a syndicate of administrators who wants to prevent the possible disaster... For our new members too

Lyrics:

"Sweet dreams are made of this

Who am i to disagree?

i travel the world & the seven seas

Everybody' s looking for something

Some of them want to use you

Some of them want to get used by you

Some of them want to abuse you

Some of them want to be abused..."

For this site? Right now i'd say the trolling issue on the forums, it's gone so far out of hand it's ridiculous. Also a similar problem that i referred to on my newest forum post which got locked. these 2 issues are rampant atm. I feel like the cheating etc isn't as bad as people claim. 

first of all, i'm going to visit YOUR newest forum post, i would like to know what it's about (by the way i'm not good forum-maker, it's easier to express myself through the songs & pictures, because it's so difficult sometimes to express what "you" mean through words...)

uf uf uf, it doesn't have any special points other than pointing to "fake" avatars = Similar downloads/pictures are used by many users around Chess.com for their own profile picture.

By the way, pictured above are real football players from Zagreb's football club, these are adult athletes!

The add-on was subsequently entered: YOU ( @Monarquico ) may/can/would be some extra great Admin of our chess clubs, You have falcons eyes, you are well aware of the detailswink.png
