Do you think dating should be allowed on chess.com? If so, why do you think so, and should their be any restrictions with it? If not, why? What punishment should be given to players who date on chess.com. You can also express your opinion by put a number an a scale of 1-10. Here’s an idea of what your number would mean below:

1: NO! Chess.com was never meant to be a dating site, and all people caught dating on here should be banned on the spot.

3: Under no circumstances should people be allowed to date on Chess.com. They should get a warning about it before they get banned.

5: Yes, dating on chess.com is fine, but only if it is kept in a chat between the two lovers or in a club specifically made for dating.

8: Yes, and they should be able to express their love in chats and public forums, they just shouldn’t take it too far.

10: Yes, under any circumstances should two people be able to date and express their log for each other. They shouldn’t have a limit for what they can do since chess.com wasn’t meant for kids anyway.

I’d say about a 6 for you.

By whom? 

I don't think a site can be effectively used for dating when the split between sexes is so large. 

But if 2 people flirt with each other on chess.com it is fine.

It depends... Is she rich? 🤔

I mean we could have a tournament with six guys each. A picture of the girl and her (or her family’s) net worth is posted on the tournament. The winner of the tournament gets the girl.

My status says it all

No! Chess is chess, it's a game. This site shouldn't be universally used in any other way but what for it was created and that is playing chess. If any of you are lonely, or in need of love, male or female, go outside and escape your "screen love" and find real and true love. My honest opinion. 

As a subjected opinion , please take it as one and don't insult. Kind regards.

If you don’t want to be lonely, just go to farmersonly.com

There's really no reason to date on a public forum, private chatting is a lot more convenient and more polite. You are allowed to private chat to one person on chess.com, but I think people should just use something that isn't designed for chess, like Roblox, Messages, or Discord (I've never used discord so idk if its used for dating) anyways Chess.com is not the place.

More like a 4 or 5 I'd say. chess.com is intended for chess, so chess should be the focus. If some people want to chat dating, seek relationships with chess players, or similar, then I guess they are entitled to their own freedoms so long as it is done in the right way (time and place for everything) and doesn't violate chess.com tos. 

Is dating a problem in general? I don't think so specifically, but too many will use threads like this as an excuse to obnoxiously post and this is what others may report as trolling, abuse, stalking or similar. 

All and all, the goal of chess.com is chess, so that should be the emphasis of chess.com members; if you REALLY want to try online dating, there are MANY sites and apps for that; why should you use chess.com? You probably shouldn't. It isn't optimal for the one dating and it isn't ideal for the chess site anyway, so just generally don't do it. 

Now if two members get to conversation by meeting on chess.com and choose to date ("online" or in-person) from that, then that is up to them but this has nothing directly to do with chess.com; just where they happened to first meet.

What it's not? Why is it called Chess...thought it was short for Chest etc. Dam!

Santoy

I think that it's a great idea. UK based e4 / Sicilian player required, nymphomaniac preferred.

Concerning 10: what kids shouldn't watch can't be done here anyway.

DiogenesDue

Do you worry about somebody asking somebody else on a date at your local grocery store?  Then why worry about here...?  Talk about a non-issue.

Puritans --> that way

Why would someone think that chess.com isn't made for kids

Pulpofeira

But not a log, for God's sake.

In theory someone could say that kids shouldn’t be on any online website with other people.
