Oh sure, Mr. President. We all know that you were secretly making spam on Devin's Island before it was shut down. The OTF Times leaked the files.
B-b-but the spam was from such a long time ago that it doesn't matter anymore!

Mr. President, I should be your secret service leader.
I'll think on it.

Lol. The forums have been filled with mindless spam and childish threads for years. When did the forums experience this ‘glory’ you speak of? The fact is, almost all of the children who dominate the forums will not join your club. When the club is inactive from the lack of members, they will all return to the forums (presuming they were even going to only be active in your club…). The only viable solution to clear spam from Chess.com is to enforce an age requirement to use the forums and to lift the ban on politics and religion. But the staff will never do this. They have to ‘keep the children safe’—despite ChessKid existing.
If you want a place to discuss meaningful topics here on Chess.com, your only hope is to join a debate club such as Open Ideas and Open Discussion.

Good to hear that you took this seriously. The club isn't mine, and I didn't plan to enforce anything to do anything that I posted.
Cute that you thought so, though.

I did take it seriously despite the fact that it was obviously a joke. Because I am tired of threads like this. Complaining about spam threads…while making yet another spam thread.
Most meaningful topics are banned from the main forums, limiting their discussion to small clubs. Essentially destroying the entire point of having an off topic section to the forums. If people do not want to see the hatred in some discussions about politics/religion…then simply do not visit those threads.
This is a problem that needs a solution. You cannot solve a problem without serious discussion. Something the forums need more of.
