Bongcloud trolling MUST stop

The new mantra seen everywhere in the forums- 

“It’s just a joke”

The chant is harmful in many aspects. Becomes a license for open disrespect and bad behavior- then gets qualified by - “ it’s just a joke” ... lighten up.

These kids will kick your Mom in the back, openly make poor taste insults and proceed to chant their mantra. Boils down to a lack of respect for their peers. Plain and simple.

Someday this question just might be figured by you.
I don’t hold much hope for the current crowd.

Woah there, it is literally a joke. If you don't like it, don't look in Bongcloud forums.

When you see an overused meme you are tired of, do you accuse the meme creator of being a savage person trying to lose faith in humanity?

Actually - I have a thread all about the original Bong Cloud. But nobody is interested in history. Only in trolling nonsense.

The OP expresses a concern. One that I agree with - but is overly stated.

Say, it'd be real unfortunate if I clicked the "unfriend" button wouldn't it?

I DONT THINK ITS TRUE. Some people like to troll other people, but it MUST stop. Some people think its harmless, but it can lose you points for the people who fall for the trap. 

TO CHESS.COM: Whoever is caught trolling other people, I think they should be banned from the forums.

Many jokes are misleading which is what makes them funny. Telling beginners silly things like "Bong Cloud opening is spectacular" is not going to kill them, sure they might lose some games but Chess is just a game at the end of the day.

The concept is similar to telling your little siblings something stupid as a joke and them believing it, at the end of the day as long as no one gets hurt its all fun and games.

No, it might end up hurting others feelings and it is NOT harmless

Yep. The Bong Cloud has been played for decades. A few about want to take credit and think their spiel is all original. It’s not. Right. Rather boring this new version. History of The Kings Game / The Tumbleweed Opening is far better than seen here. Dizin played it to the amazement of all takers in the skittles rooms years past.

Lately, I saw a post in which people were that you should play the bongcloud and how it's the greatest opening of all time, I don't have a problem with that thats their opinion later after that they say that if your king reaches the 8th rank you win. Now for players like me that have you been playing for 2 years+ we know that's not true, there was a new player there and he said that he would try it out, and forum poster gives him the moves to play the bongcloud, later after that someone that is a very strong chess player, starts using "fancy words" like proflaxis and etc, explaning why the bongcloud is really good, now the lower-rated might play it. Whats with these people, Especially why would you lie that if the king reaches the 8th rank you win, the person who attempts that will proabaly get checkmated by then, Why do people do this? Do you think that they are sadistic and want the person to lose? Also if you encouter this and your new don't listen to them and make sure you don't fall into their "trap" Let me know in the comments, Thanks

True. I agree.

That sucks. I am planning to post another troll topic in a few minutes from now.

It’s the chess equivalent of saying “I can beat you up with one hand tied behind my back.”

If you win, you get to teabag. If you lose, you just end up looking like a jackass.
