Yes, that's a good one that I've heard often. "I only lost because I'm tired."

The no spell check to be fair is a somewhat valid complaint, though it's easily remedied by copy and pasting into a Word document.  English has some subtleties that are very important and spelling is unfortunately absolute (in Shakespeare's day it was better since it was more flexible based off approximations.  It was better because one always knew what one communicated through writing anyway without the added social and scholastic penalties of misspelling).

  An ESL for example could carelessly write than instead of then, or get their homophones mixed up (priest vs priests, read vs red, etc.)

Elsewhere on the Internet you could see brats who complain that their parents didn't buy them an IPhone.  Those who already have everything seem to be the worst when it comes to a false sense of entitlement.

Per the official rules of the whiners and complainers forum, you must break separate whines into different posts.

We appreciate your cooperation in this matter.

I wish to complain about anyone who advocates the need to complain and also those who try to censor it!

This post brings up an interesting point.  Perhaps OperationOverlord could add one of the complaint requirements to be concerning people who complain about people not using proper grammar and poor spelling?  

***P.S. I am not complaining about this suggestion not being in the complaint requirements.  I'm just trying to help the cause*** :)

I'm glad to see that no one has posted in this forum for over a year. However, now that Chess.com V3 has been released I think more complaints will soon be added to the list.

I'd like to complain about other people using the site how they want to, and not how I want them to >:\

Thank you.
