but i did really weep, pandy
Support my campaign for chess.com staff member!

Macer,
You need to build a firewall in order to keep the GM's out. They're not bringing us their best. They're bringing checkmates, they're bringing experience, they're masters, and some of them are good people.
But we need to build a firewall. Promise that this firewall will go up so high, my head will spin, and I will say to myself, "He meant it. He really meant it."
Thank you for your feedback Newengland7! Keeping the GMs out will no doubt be one of my top priorities as a staff member. A firewall will be part of my plans. In addition, I will also use other methods of identifying and eradicating GMs, such as internet surveillance of suspected GMs and hacking their computers.

You can use some of us Russians to hack the GM computers. We're good at that.
You can also just bomb the h*** out of IMs.

I understand your frustration with IMs; however, it is my view that some of them are still redeemable. I will allow IMs to stay on this site if they sign and stick to the contract specified in point 2.2 of my platform.

I want a full refund of all my campaign donations.
SocialPanda, I noticed that your current blitz rating is 1801. When I become a staff member, I will increase the ratings of everyone on chess.com. Once I apply my formula for increasing ratings (which I have provided under point 3 of my platform), your new blitz rating will be 2151. That's a full 350-point increase from your current rating, and it's also 334 points higher than the highest blitz rating you have ever achieved. The effect on your bullet rating will be even more pronounced - it will rise from the current 1503 to 2002, a nearly 500-point increase!
So, if you want higher ratings - and this goes for everyone else as well - please support me, and you will not be disappointed.

Those are good points Ken, but we need to trust in the altruistic macer75 knowing what is best rather than trying to undermine him.
I disagree with everything that has been posted in this thread so far.
