Upvotes / Downvotes on Chess.com

Money is green, and the site doesn't care if its the parents money or the members. 

Good, but now follow it up by not whining like a child on the forums. 

Seems to be a hitch. I was not able to upvote a post that I found quite profound.

im a kid, and I dont love any of the features

I have nothing to do with what choices the site makes, or it's direction but things like Classrooms, Library, and Insights are good features. The forums really haven't changed all that much over the years, there's still a lot of nonsense posts, trolling etc. But the site was started to be a Social Chess site and shouldn't be any surprise it has continued down that route.

UI changes are pretty subjective and for the most part I don't have many complaints there. I don't play daily anymore and for those that do and those that play a lot of games, those changes seem to be less beneficial. While I take part in some clubs, I'm by no means a major club contributor, so can't say a whole lot about many of those features or how they are implemented. 

I have seen bugs get fixed and changes made based on feedback of members. Not everyone is going to like all the changes and what is the right direction for some may not be the right one for others. Can't please everyone .

I've seen plenty of people in the forums that both like and dislike many of the same features. The comments one post gets isn't terribly indicative of everyone

Very weak rhetorical question.

In this thread at least @Ian_Rastall and @Chr0mePl8edSt0vePipe expressed their pleasure and made cogent arguments why they are with the happy changes.

Maybe you should re-read the thread from the beginning?

I do not mind constructive feedback, but you have only been whining like a baby. Look at your comments. You didn't say why play was worse or anything instead you just act like an immature child. No one cares mate, if you don't like it here... leave? Just don't whine non-stop. 

Earlier in this or another topic I asked why play was worse and you just keep going on like an entitled brat instead of giving a mature, constructive criticism. 

In this topic. You can't accurately extrapolate that out to say a lot more overall dislike it.

I mean, you can, but it doesn't make it true.

It's a good tweak to what they had. It's good to give people that half-voice, rather than none, when it comes to trolls, shills, people in a bad mood, etc. But emojis are a clunky solution. Not only are they an eyesore, but as your username is right there, there's potential for all sorts of interpersonal chaos. The site is simply changing its feedback from something like Lichess has, which doesn't work, to something Reddit has, which succeeds in not collapsing under the weight of half a billion users. Not having feedback at all, of course, puts us in the situation that this sort of thing was invented to solve. I've been on the internet for twenty years now. It needs moderation, but if that can be done automagically, that's way better.

Play does have time per move. What are you talking about... ? I hope you've made a proper post in the site feedback section instead of whining about it randomly in threads, your concerns would then actually have a chance at getting addressed... if you really care that is.

Somewhat funny to see that you've been asked to leave by others, in any case... it seems you have a history of getting muted since you try to avoid the system from picking up your insults. A system I don't necessarily agree with, by the way.

I blocked you because you act like an entitled brat who loves playing the victim card instead of saying anything productive. You are boring.

Time per move exists in Play.

100% agreed.

...maybe have a system where  you only get, say 10 votes a day, and can't downvote a post by someone 200+ ranking points above you? Too hierarchical? Magnus might come back just to post 10 Levy sucks. 20 goto 10.

You seem so mad. I wasn't even trying to insult you and it's all you seem to rage about. Calm down, no one even cares so don't worry!

Yes, it does. With both interfaces live, it can get mixed up. If you set it in Play, or toggle it if it's on already, they'll show.

From Play

You should probably realise by now that this site is becoming a part of social media day by day 

With new features upcoming day by day 

It pretty much started as a social site, while they were working to build the chess parts.

Moje postřehy:Myslím,že tato organizace se nám,šachistům,snaží zpříjemnit a umožnit hraní s kýmkoliv na Světě.Odmítám tedy slova o spratkách. Jsou to profesionálové a rozhodně je za nimi vidět kvalitní práce. Jestli jsou za to placeni? Jestli z toho mají hrst drobných mincí,více ani ťuk ! Prosím,neurážejte je tedy,naopak,važme si jich. Děkuji a přeji Krásné prožití Vánoc!
