Claiming that any successful female on this site uses an engine or is a guy is pretty insulting to women and shows a lot of insecurity/poor self-esteem.
Poor self esteem, hmm. What about people who bring up this topic when no one mentioned it? What does this say about you?
"It'll only take me 3-4 years to become an IM/GM/[insert title here]..."
That the chess.com staff cares about their members.

I believe they do care. BUt i also elieve that part of the problem is they are a bunch of young people with the mindset of: "Everyone should be allowed to do what they want, as long as its not hurting anyone"
The problem with that is, everyones defintion of being hurt differs. And this giving everyone a millon chances doesnt teach anyone anything, except that you know there is no fear of repercussion.

There are people actively breaking the rules and conditions, and yet they allow it to continue.
Trolls abound and offensive individuals continue to get by, and they allow it to continue.

Indeed. Why would a bloke pretend to be a woman? I've been discussing this with the other women here at the refuge for hot single women and none of us has any idea.

Urk, is the tactics trainer actually not important? I was literally thinking of getting a membership just so I could do more than 5 tactics a day.

When there's stuff like lichess that are completely free?
"If I practice a lot, how long before I become a GM?"
- Some random 1100 dude
"Why would chess.com show the name of the opening? When my opponent sees the word "trap" or "gambit" he begins to think and he does not fall into my traps. That is so unfair!!!"
-2IQC
"Again this engine rats!!! How can I report them????"
- Some angry 1200 who made a lot of stupid moves and his opponent checkmated him.
"DO NOT RESIGN!!!! NEVER EVER RESIGN!!!!"
- Some super optimist 1100 who loves John Cena and thinks he still has a chance in some game that is absolutely lost.
