But he's really good. He also does buy one get one free on ears.

 

Never trust someone who calls himself a "plastic surgeon" if their only tools are a Black & Decker and a marker pen.

123 friends, 53 groups, decent established standard rating, clearly an active "online" player, tons of photos of an older lady in most of the tourist spots of the world.

OP-This is your target?   this is a person who ought to be banned from not showing herself on her avatar?? wow.

why is the way you look SO important on a site about chess?

OK, for your benefit and for everyone else here who still hasn't got the point of this thread.

I am not calling for every member to post their own photo on their profile.  The choice of picture is up to yourself, as it should be.  It's a chess account, not an ID card or passport.  Nor does it matter how anybody looks here, or what age or sex or nationality they are.  

What is not on, in my opinion, is somebody deliberately posting photos of another person with the deliberate intention of misleading everybody into thinking it is themselves.  If it is done without the owner's knowledge and permission, this amounts to identity theft, and should result in the closure of that account.

Alright, is that clear enough for everybody, because I don't think I can express it any more simply.

some threads are weird : they start with  topic 1,"" female are really chess players" , for instance, and on post ten you learn "Trump is crap", on post 100 "suicide hand book for dummies", just incredible. OK it was on "off topics". I love that threads, and enjoy serious threads like yours OP. Ty u for having being me not muted, i'm sometimes muted by some OP because ...I stay on topic!!!!

Here it is about pic,( We2 love painting too).  K21 is our Batgirl in off topics, an icone we all are in love with. Does it have to be mention on topic here?

Just as you. I remember you were the f pawn last week, instead of h as today.

Posting a "misleading" or inaccurate picture of yourself is not against the TOS.  thus, it wouldn't be fair to ban someone over it.

how is a picture, really identity?

My pic is truly me.  is my "identity revealed"- could you find me or impersonate me on my picture alone??  I doubt it greatly , if I said only that I lived in Pennsylvania.  and espacially if my avatar pic wasn't posted on social media; you'd NEVER find me.  Seeing my picture is Even less than knowing my name.  

If you were the person in the avatar pictures, or if that person was a good friend of your- I'd understand the concern.

Avatar of thegreat_patzer

to clarify, I'm not saying it isn't against TOS to impersonate someone...

(I just looked it up and it is)...

I'm saying that posting a picture of someone or something else as an avatar is NOT impersonation.  if said person were then to use any information that applies to the person in his/her avatar- THEN it probably truly is impersonation...

FWIW, here is a link to the TOS (Terms of Service).

https://www.chess.com/legal

in short, your assumption that the avatar identifies a person is odd.  I don't think a chair identifies you.  and it wouldn't matter (to me) if it was a rare and prized chair of a neighbor that you hav been coveting for years.

@Chair: I think you should unblock her to let her explain via pm. Consider I owe you a favour, I hate there could be a misunderstanding between British friends.

@Great: I recognize that tree!

@pulp.  absolutely awesome.  feel free to meet me at the ski trail.  or perhaps we can go up to the ridge and get a good ride along the top.

You'll have to wait for ski season.  that place is absolutely best when the heavy lake effect snow storms start- don't you agree?
