                  Kaynight is like a number of old-time posters. We're a little suspicious of brand new people for good reason. How long has the OP been playing chess??

Supspicious of what? A question? I could see a bunch of noobs asking that question. Its not a troll question. Why bash the guy? Just answer or don't answer the question, and just move on.

Maybe there is a move afoot to change the rules.

if you had actualy read the posts her, you would see that there is no debating if the rules to be changed, but one guy new to the site asking why they are as they are.

Its a dumb fecking question.

Duh....is a family forum for chess. People new to chess are always going to ask questions because they may be new the game. The sense of entitlement because of one being a long term member to bash on new members is backwards thinking.

                    Suspicious of what?        You haven't been here that long yourself, but I'll indulge you.  Banned members, closed accounts, troublemakers, proxy servers, general trouble makers. We're not accusing, we're simply asking. If you present the right answers, we'll know your legit. Look at it, as a drug deal. Are you a narc??  Erik does NOT allow narcs in the forums.

Ok.....so what part of the op's question did you find suspicious that he deserved to get bashed? No part of question didn't appears to be part of banned members, closed accounts, troublemakers, proxy servers,general truble makers.

                      If the OP was serious about questioning a rule, a ticket to staff would have done the trick. A private message to someone would have also worked. But the OP, and you Jasias are non=paying members, and after 40 post, you still haven't answered a simple question. HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN PLAYING?    May I suggest using the services of chessKid.com unless of course kaynight is right, and you just came here to argue.

My mistake was assuming everyone knew the rules of chess before playing the game.

his question clearly demonstrayed that he know the rules, why else would he be asking? 

And secondly how did you learn the rules without asking anybody? 

RonaldJosephCote

                       The OP becomes silent, and Jasias becomes very defensive. That too is a tell sign that we look for.

You don't get it....He obviously knew the rule, ergo, why he ask a quesion about it. He was asking the logic behind the rule. You're so quick to bash, you don't think first.

Its a family forum....are you suggeting that this can't be a friendly forum for new people learning about chess or of older people just wanted to start a new topic that may interest them?

                        Based on your ratings, I don't think it matters which piece you touch. If you were un-rated, we'd probably approach this thread differently.

I been playing for 25 years, what does it matter? Are you the chess police? Do you want my ID, so you can check me for chess fraud?

We have had quite a lot of new members come onto the forums and do a double act before. When you've been here a while longer you will understand. As you're a new member, I suggest you try not to burn your bridges with long standing members on this site. Smile

                       Now we're getting somewhere. I have no doubt that you've been playing for 25 yrs, and your right, this is a family site. When assistance is ask for, its rendered properly. Providing it was asked for, in good faith. You may have played for 25 yrs, but you've been here for a whole month and a half. Are we the chess police. YES WE ARE. All members ASSIST the moderators when needed. SON, these forums are guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna guard them?  The OP with his international girly white uniform??  Have you ever served in a forward theater of war??  I don't know why the OP choose THIS forum to post a question. Perhaps he doesn't have any friends to talk to. Are these REALLY the questions you called me here to answer??  I don't know what kind of an argument your running here, but I would appreciate it if you would refer to me as MEMBER, or RONNIE. I beleive I've EARNED it. But either way, I don't give a dam. I suggest you pick up a gun, and continue your argument.

Seem to me, that many of long term members are more intrested in bashing people rather then being helpful. Nothing I said was disrespectful in any way.  This is why I keep my post to a limit. If all you want to do is show hate to people who ask simple quetions, feel free. I just won't be part of it.

This is what you said. So what part of the op's post that ask for was rendered properly......because what I saw was bashing.
