I mean, I used to use Chess.com to play chess, but recently I've been more active in the social part... I totally agree, using your actual pfp will definetely bring some creeps to add you, you should probably change it, idk. It's just an advice.
Is chess.com the new Tinder?
Time by time I get new messages. If I'm too busy I don't answer, but sometimes i answer. I also accept all friend request, because why not lmao, but yeah it's kinda annoying to get messages from rando that i don't even know
Oh yeah I even got a few more invites after making the topic 😅 but just wondered if this is common here.

Hey all.
So in May of this year I made an account and started playing chess.
Occasionally someone who I matched against would add me as a friend, and that's fine.
The last month or two however, I've noticed a huge increase in random people adding me/messaging me, people I never played against. How did they even find me?
Furthermore, they all seem more intent on using chess.com as a datingapp and don't even want to play a game (or use the game as a means to strike up a conversation). It's getting to the point where I just wanna remove my profile pic, or my account all together.
Has anyone else experienced this?
