Help with Title Verification

After some many years of playing chess, I officially received my National Master title from USCF around a month and a half ago. This was a very significant accomplishment for me that I put many hours and days into, so at the very least I feel entitled to have my title appropriately displayed on chess.com. However, after submitting three title submission requests and waiting for more than a month total, I have received absolutely no indication of my title on chess.com. In contrast, the other chess site confirmed my title within four hours. Not only this, too -- chess.com has met my third title request with utter radio silence and has not responded to my follow up support email addressing this. I have missed four, (or rather five if chess.com doesn't respond today) consecutive Titled Tuesdays because of this absolutely unfathomable delay. Since I have been unsuccessful with contacting chess.com directly, I am using my very last resort to call upon the chess.com community to somehow indirectly notify a moderator to get my title approved.

Thanks for your understanding and I hope my title can get rightfully approved soon.

'Otherwise, if chess.com continues ignoring me, I will no longer be a paying active member.'

ironically you'll won't need to pay for membership after getting your title lol

i hope your problem gets fixed

There's a lot to read here, but we've had threads on this topic before..... https://www.chess.com/forum/search?keyword=title+verification+on+chess.com

Congratulations on the accomplishment. While you certainly have earned it, a true champion accepts wins as well as defeats with poise.

You won't quit and you won't close your chess.com account- you've come too far to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Again, congratulations! You've accomplished something that many will never know.

Hey tactic! I've talked to support and we've already sent you an e-mail requesting extra information a while ago. Could you check your spam inbox for it? Feel free to message me about it, we'll figure it out! Sorry for the confusion and the wait, and congratulations for your achievement!

I honesly dont see why chess.com recognises NM, it should be FIDE titles only, not all of us are AMerican.

You're really arguing with a GM over this lmao. Boss I know ECF NMs that are registered with chess.com.

@chessking4640 sorry about this bozo, he should treat you with more respect.

You are trolling by calling chessking GM yes? I hope you are.... you do realise he isn't a GM?? Also my two statements are correct. The ICU (Irish Chess Union) does not have a NM title.

I'm being tongue-in-cheek, yes. But you're right not every chess federation has an NM title. But I'm very sure any federation that does is accepted by chess.com
