Personally, I don't think there is anything wrong with joining a club with an intention like that, as long as they don't disrupt the community.
If they flirt with the person through a private chat and it makes them uncomfortable, all they need to do is block and report.
Can we please not name and shame individual clubs or this thread is likely to get locked
I mean yeah. but action should be happening.
I would do that
but chess.com being lazy and not taking much action
this should be ending
chess.com even had a not so appropriate ad on their website
if you are right @Anyonymous_Dragon chess.com staff shoud; do something about this
this is disgusting and pathetic
i don't think chess.com support can do anything about it. If they were to, what would they do?
I mean honestly yeah thats true
but look at this dogwater

Disgusting right?
Personally, I don't see anything wrong. If you were to look at it from a rules perspective, they aren't breaking any rules. Chess.com clubs are free reign, and have their own rules. You can break most any socializing chess.com rules as long as they're allowed in the club, such as cussing or nsfw. Chess.com said that they won't handle the clubs, but if something bad is happening in the club, then tell a club SA or Admin, and let them handle it. If you're to the point where you hate the person for being in the club, just leave the club, or block report and ignore like usual.
Nice post
Thanks . I thought you would have a different opinion on this.
Actually no. I suppose I am kind of guilty of this though as I don't deliberately invite males only but in at least 1 of my clubs most of the membership (in fact 99%) is in fact males. I think there is only me and one other female in the whole club.
That said I don't only invite males but it tends to be males that do join.
Well good point . Which club are you referring to though ? Is it the Official BFS club or some other ? But whatever the case , I mean joining a girls club isn't wrong . It's natural to get attracted. But joining only girls clubs is wrong in my opinion.
So in your case , did you observe the male members ? Are they only joining clubs with females ? If yes then yeah that's a problem . If they are joining other clubs as well then it's not a problem. That's just my opinion.

Sorry bout that this is one of the only things I hate in life and here

you act like there's only a few clubs like this. Chess.com is already handling a lot of jobs they are covering right now, they don't have time to close clubs like these where friends could be built. This could be a private club for fun or as a joke with a few classmates
My point is that, chess.com doesn't control clubs in its website

Yeah that's the most frustrating aspect of this entire thing. They aren't doing anything wrong legally . But it's cringe . And it's annoying that nothing can be done .

They shouldve left some control over it.
why does this feel like WWIII

No I have my fan club and anyone can join young old male or female and that is not exclusively for any sub set of members.
I am referring to my adults club. It is designed to be for 25+ age range and of the 130+ members I am only one of 2 (maybe 3) adult females in there.
It's not just clubs, many people use this whole website for that
This is what the common person of chess.com should be realizing in my opinion
Actually, I've noticed that the creator of one of these kinds of clubs, actually has about 5 or 10 similar clubs with the same purpose. It could easily just be a tactic to get members, the owners of the clubs probably know it will happen when the name the club something like that.
Yes I might've found what you are taling about
It's not just clubs, many people use this whole website for that
I agree with this. Yesterday I had a member join the site and less than 3 hours later was messaging me wanting an inappropriate conversation.

Yes .
But unfortunately there are many limitations.
You would need to monitor people closely . Obviously having to task humans for this is out of question , since there are literally millions of users. We are left with the bots . Even if you train them somehow to identify such people , and take action against them , the amount of coding , and investment into it will outweigh the purpose that it's going to serve . Thus making it ineffective.
@Aza-kun is right chess.com has a lot of wonderful people and clubs to make friends and chess.com can't do anything about clubs where people join to flirt. all you can do is ignore block and report.

RIP
It'll just keep on coming and coming and coming
We might as well just sit back and wait for this to grow and take over chess.com

Given that the majority of the members on the site are males, that's more or less expected.
