I hope there are some rewards from Chess.Com for the unpaid Mods, seems like a thankless task to me.

Their are numerous rewards.  But if youre doing it for the rewards, youre doing it for the wrong reason.

What are you doing it for?

I'm Not...

What were you doing it for?

Meanwhile I'll recommend this guy to staff as your replacement.

I strongly agree

the reason there isn't MORE consistency is that there only so many mods and most people won't report threads. 

if you feel like something is Unacceptable REPORT it!

So the responsibility for policing forums & the lack of consistancy is offset on the customers?

Chess.com has no responsibility to paying customers to enforce its own rules/regulations by its own administrative  power but is dependant upon 'customer support' to uphold the ethos of the site?

Because it is too cheap, despite being a multi-million dollar company to pay people to do a police job or provide a proper customer service to its clients!!!

Is that what you are trying to say?

That, we the customers are responsible for consistancy on this site? And should be more pro-active, thereby we are paying for a service & are accountable for mainitaining the ethos of the sites rules/regulations as well? Therefore we SHOULD help  (an already 'partially' self run site) to enforce a code of ethics it sets up by reporting people? 

The other alternative of course is DIY.

If you want more consistancy on customer service or in the forums - then you hire more people & you pay them for the work that they do.  Simple as that.

*sigh*

we both know this is how it is, and it can't be blamed on the years long transition to v3.

i hate to say it, nik, but, get used to it. 

this goes to my previous post. it seems easy to respond (as staff) when you can with your interpretation of tos. it's another to state you are looking into it and it's a whole different situation when there is no response.

the sad part is that i've been here over 6 years and the only things that have been changed (read: enforced) are rules against spamming and any discussion of politics or religion publicly. 

try to get an answer about how things run here-for customers-and one may be waiting.

personally, i would think that responding to a question about a tournament would take precedent over spamming a thread, as i did just minutes ago to a topic that had penis in the title and made no sense.

yeah Al, i noticed poor Bunni asking for a solution to his forums - not sure the issue has been resolved, but last time i checked, he had been waiting for weeks.

Bet you are glued to the Ryder Cup. Great show as always - one of my fav tourneys.

Instead of complaining, try helping.  Not everything needs to involve being paid.

Complaining? I am not complaining I am pointing out the obvious here. I already help this site as do many other members on here by being active in the forums, I have 14 tourneys running right now & am running a group.

What the duck are you on about. If people are dumb enough to do a job for a multi-million dollar company - that is up to them.

What I expect is a high standard from staff & yes I have done volunteer work myself in the past BUT never for a company that can afford to pay.

So what the duck is your point? And lets have more than one sentence - if you are capable of it.

Have you emailed staff about your complaints?

Oh the one sentence guy - you are obviously not an avid reader of the aforementioned correspondence with staff recently over tourney issues.

I am not the shyest of people expressing an opinion, espeicially when it means over a 100 people are being inconvienced by lack of staff attension.

Thanks for the one sentence - that tells me a lot.

The point being it's the customers who are conditioned to return the trays.

As parents we're somewhat thankful there are worse things to raise, than a child - like a ticket here.

I dont think "conditioned" is the right word.  The few times i have been in a mcdonalds, taco bell, etc.  I see trays left at the tables.

My countrymen are more susceptible to conditioning.
