I'm a Chess.com Moderator yes, the blue or green pawn by our usernames should always identify us. We are also the only people that speak in green.

In the following game (Horde variant where Black starts with a normal setup and White starts with 36 pawns) early on I sent a chat message about it not being giveaway and received an LOL response. Black was reduced to a bare king while White still had 32 pawns and a queen so I confined the Black king to a8/b8 and began making 32 knights to move to the 1st through 4th ranks (2 second increment gave me plenty of time). After making my eighth knight and starting to move some of them back my opponent finally resigned. I was fully prepared to get knight for my 25 c-h pawns and then drive him to the other side of the board (Qe7 vs Kg8) so that I could promote my 7 a-b pawns. I planned on finishing up with Nf6+ and Qf8#.

One of the better take-aways of "The Queen's Gambit" mini-series was when the coach told Beth when it was time to resign.
No, that was actually the worst scene of the entire show and I'll tell you why.
That scene tells all the new players that "when you lose an important piece the game is over and you need to resign" which is so incredibly stupid, players, especially new players, need to learn to play when they are down, that is how they learn and improve their game, by figuring out new ways to win the game.
Also, new players make blunders, so just because you've lost your queen or a valuable piece doesn't mean the game is over, far from it, you need to keep going and find a way to turn it around, that scene really annoyed me because Beth wanted to continue but he just stopped her.
When I was younger I used to play in tournaments, there were many times when I lost a valuable piece, even the queen, but I did not resign, I kept going, and the psychological aspect of it is that your opponent will most likely get cocky and overlook things once he's captured your queen, and I've been able to use that in order to actually capture their queens afterwards with a fork or dagger, and let me tell you, the defeat that they then feel is absolutely crushing, going from a clearly winning position to a losing one.
It is a great feeling to overcome like that and win the game and it's really bad that a lot of players resign so easily, they won't progress as well.
Now for higher ranking players it is different and you should resign if you know that your opponent clearly will be able to checkmate you and your opponent knows how.
