While perusing the forums last night and this morning, I came across a thread discussing forum activity by [Removed - DB] A direct link to their public profile may be found [Removed - DB]. Their profile picture is that of a mass murder.
This above is the profile picture of [Removed - DB]. The picture is of Adam Lanza, who killed 20 children and 6 adults on December 14, 2012 at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newton, CT USA. The children were between the ages of 6 and 7.
You may learn more about Lanza at PBS and Wikipedia.
There are plenty of complaints about [Removed - DB] on Chess.com, and even an online petition to have them muted and banned.
To date, [Removed - DB] still has a public profile page; the content of their posts have been removed, but the trolling nature of their posts still remain as message headers; and they are using a profile picture of a mass murder.
This is a chess platform, not a free-speech platform.
Please remove the glorifying picture of a mass murderer and ensure this community that we will not be subjected to the antics of someone who mocks the deaths of 26 women and children while provoking and trolling users on this platform.
