So, what prevents someone from calling me a bad sport just because I beat them?
Was _____________ a good sport? Well done chess.com
Sort:
Thats why everyone must score their opponents at the end of games. That way the trolls will be outnumbered by those who gave genuine vote.

Right!
Why do you need a computer to "filter out" rude players for you? Just do it yourself. You're having brief interactions with people you will never see again, maybe don't let the occasional rudeness burden you irl.

Is there anywhere to go see the sportiness level of a player. Do extend this to be a publicly viewable number. It would help keep the rudeness in line.
I didn't think of that. Even if they beat me I clicked yes 
. I guess I'm just that person.

Wouldn't this just encourage the trolls to each open 100 accounts, so they can outnumber us?

Plain and simple. This notion is WRONG for so many reasons. No need to debate them. A separate but equal pairing pool, if implemented here , will surely be the beginning of the end for CC.

Here's what I would love to see:
Chess.com should impliment a VM (Virtual Machine) Server just for cheaters, trolls and assorted jerks. The guilty parties get shunted over to the Rude Cheating Aggro Troll Server (tm) without being informed of this. As far as they know, they're still logged onto the main server.
... and then they can cheat, troll and insult each other, while the rest of us get on with playing chess.
Wouldn't that be hilarious? I would pay money to see that!

Another site "shadow bans". Good idea, except there exists NO recourse.

With enough computing power you could have hundreds of instances of the server software running at the same time, and as the trolls violate their user agreement again and again, they get plane-shifted deeper and deeper into the Abyss.
Too bad Elon Musk isn't a chess player. He could bankroll that, no problem.

Utopian concept. Trust an algorithm to make decisions ?
Besides, Musk is the biggest detractor of AI.
