This site is not for playing chess

Some people must cheat to "achieve" a 500 rating. It's hard to comprehend how such a low rating is even possible when they start out with 1200 points for free!

Sorry you're being harassed. As your rating climbs the abuse lessens, but that doesn't mean you have to take it at your level either. Here's an article on abuse and what you can do about it.
Only because those who do the abusing are keyboard commandos who wouldn't have the guts to say the same thing in person.
This kinda comment really hurts. Because I'm much more rude and abusive in person than I am on the internet.

I think I'm doing something wrong.
This guy has been here for a couple of months and, supposedly, has faced lots of abuse. I've been here for more than a year and have never encountered any.
What's a guy gotta do to be abused around here?

S0D off!!! There's a start!
Please phrase your insults in American so I can understand them. Thanks.

Your ratings are generally too high. I bet if you were to start playing bullet with your 857 rating, someone might take a shot though...

This issue is not just in game chat. Try to watch a chess.comTV show, and some jerks gotta complain about somebodies rating. Who gives a f? Just watch and listen. This is not real chess, its online chess. Everything online is questionable, but everyone tries to act like they are some sort of chess god here. Lets see a show of hands, how many of these jerks are making money playing chess here?
