unfair play warning - for not accepting rematch

Sort:
AutisticCath

X_PLAYER_J_X,

while chess.com might be more of a social area, chess.com is also supposed to be a safe area as well. One can block people and disable chat during games thus eliminating potential unwanted interaction. Further, rematches have nothing to do with improving with white and/or black pieces. Whenever I start a game, it always does a colour randomizer. I am speaking as one who both frequently declines rematches and one who has chat permanently disabled.

After i disabled the chat i felt like in paradise.

Chess.com FairPlay is inspired by the Dumb and Dumber films.

^^^^  Thank you Chess.com

I am glad to see you are taking progressive steps in the right direction.

Making a single rematch manditory will allow individuals the chance to have the opportunity to connect with others in a very social area.

It will also allow people the chance to play with both the white and black side against the same opponent.

Thus, Allowing people to improve with both white and black pieces.

I find this sheer madness. When I don't want a rematch it is because all sorts of reasons. There are dozens of things I might need to do before playing for another half hour/one hour. Such a crazy rule would let me leave chess.com immediately

this is partly Ziryab doing you know.  he bumped several rematch threads with references to "jellyfish".

what would be REALLY crazy if we had the rematch conversation on several different threads.

I haven't had many problems with chat. Much more with people who play as if they were 400 points underrated

this is the second time this has happened. im getting an unfair play pop up after a win simply because the other player made a bad move, resigned then requested a rematch which i did not accept. there was no conversation during the game, no uneeded waiting so run out of time making the other player wait. is it required to accept a rematch if offered?

It's happened to me as well?

The only reason i could think of was that I really laughed out loud when the opponent made a boo boo.

Maybe they can see thru your webcam :(

I've played 10000 bullet games and not once have I seen a warning for not rematching. I don't believe the op has either.

chess.com has NOT implemented a warning message for not accepting/offering rematches.

If you feel that is your only option.

Than I shall wish you fare well.

Bon Voyage!

May your chess journey be successful!

Chess.com is a leader of innovation.

It is obvious they know how rematches can help low level players achieve greatness.

I have been wishing for such a rule to take effect!


 

Chess.com is more than a chess site. It is a Social site!

Allowing you to connect to others around the world.

Allowing you the chance to play with your friends.

Allowing you the chance to enjoy a friendly game with a family member.

If you wish to let a few bad apples ruin your mood causing you to disable your chat function that is completely your misguided choice.

Allowing these bad apples to disconnect you from the world.

The Chat function was not made for misguided people or bad apples.

The Chat function was made for nice, friendly, and healthly conversation among others.

The Disable-Chat function was made for people who chose not to be friendly. At which point you can than disable them and report them immediately so they can be dealt with.

Chess.com will turn those bad apples into apple sauce.

However, If you chose to Diable your chat function against everyone than the bad apple as succeed!

A Bad Apple saying something mean to you might rob you of your mood for a single day.

However, If that Bad Apple causes you to change how you handle yourself against every other opponent the rest of your chess.com experince! Than the Bad Apple has robbed from you so much more than a single day.

 

Thus, I have finished my opinions on these 2 issues.

too much time.

Day 2 of chess.com's "warning" message about not accepting/offering rematches.  I have played well over 50 games, and have not offered/accepted a rematch and have not seen, received, or been threatened with a message warning me about not offering/accepting rematches.  

Please go about your usual chess.com business, nothing to see here.

The preceeding message has been brought to you by:

ok i sent an email to admin to find out why i got the fair play warning and havent heard back. if the warning is not for not accepting rematches, the other player is lying about whatever offense i did as ive played almost 2000 games and never cause problems and the prior days matches were all uneventful. can anyone please let me know the best way to contact admin as maybe the email address was wrong. hopefully they will let me know my supposed offense...

There is NO Fair Play warning about not accepting/offering rematches.  Relax people...

diakonia if the remarch rejection was not the cause, how do i find out why i was issued this warning. ive been a member for over a year and this pisses me off quite frankly. i know i did nothing wrong but i want an explanation of who issued it and why if it was not for refusing the rematch. can admin provide that?

insidejob

I've played something over 4,000 games and never had this happen after refusing a rematch.  I do think the other player may have somehow figured out a way to mess with you by putting up a message that maybe looks like the chess.com "unfair play" message?  Just a speculation, but it's the only logical explanation I can see to this if you declined the rematch invite before the next game started...

Keep the faith and have fun.   - Insidejob

mean that I no longer play a quick blitz game during a work break. Probably 30-40% of the games played on this site on a daily basis would be eliminated, making it harder to find an opponent.

The consequent downward spiral for this site makes as much sense as hiring a person to run a large complex country on the basis of a sole demonstrable skill: brain surgery on infants.

oh my.   The earth will lose its van allen belts,  the grid will down in a burst of EMF hellfire.  We'll lose All electricity for years to come.

No wait! thats a different conspiracy theory. (RJC does it better I know)..  

in the grand scheme of things I don't see that a playing the occasional rematch is THAT big of a deal.  In fact, I'm almost bemused by the whole "rematch" all-out forum war that has gripped regular and occasional posters alike the last two days.

can I be switzerland?  Neutral and beloved by all parties...

thegreat_patzer

and just to clarify, I just declined a rematch the other day.  (I had to go potty!).  NO stern chess.com warning.
