harassing profiles I have blocked

Sort:

I've had to block quite a few profiles. Though I really enjoy playing chess here, many very aggressive primates have confused this site for a different type of site. Men, cowardly hiding behind female photos, have asked for specific info about my body parts, my lifestyle,  as well as revealing photos etc, and it's never ending!

What do you expect? You have cleavage in your profile pic.

Change it to an inanimate object and it’ll all go away.

What a bunch of incels. It's best to report and forget them.

if you are being harrased

there is a thing called opening a new account and not revealing your gender or a pfp?

Well, I can't say I agree with everything that post #3 (Bugulugu) wrote, but it must have taken several minutes of his (her?) life that could have been spent more productively . . .

Edit - as anticipated, the original post #3 has been removed . . .

Thanks!

To fend off an aggressive type, I ask for a a selfie holding paper w my name on it for verification.  This tactic totally shuts the fake acct's down! It has worked for me. One of the funniest replies to my request , and i'll post more, was "oh i can't, my phone is charging now"!

Well, what you have written I can't understand. 

Can you tell me in English.

Maybe they’re just easy to impress.

Remove your pic if it bothers you. Showing your cleavage doesn't help.

Just block them. Problem solved. What more is there to discuss?

In practical terms, yes. But the OP ought to be able to use her current pic without fear of harassment.
