I really liked Zuny. I think I gifted him once. He was like the kid I never had. Different perspectives people. Keep living your lives. You'll see.

RIP Zunayed, he was banned. I wonder why I wasn't banned, I'm glad I wasn't. Maybe it was something over the weekend, I've been inactive.

Oh well. RIP bumping forums, I may or may not miss 'ya. Gotta stay up to date on the new policies ig.

He was? This is the best news I’ve heard all day!

The problem I think is just that they’re prioritizing the wrong things. They should start with trolling and spamming prevention, and save the political/religious restriction for when they have that under control. In my opinion, politely discussing a banned topic is less of a problem than trolling/spamming with a topic that is technically within rules.

I agree, but when religion and politics are discussed, especially in this community, things get out of hand quick.

Why not? What is the community missing out on now that this account is closed?

We're missing out on bubbles. How are we supposed to stay clean.

10 years ago I fervently argued that political and religious topics should be allowed to be discussed here. I'm growing more into the mindset that AI chatbots are too powerful a propaganda tool, and that maybe all this safe+pointless chat is all the internet is good for as a whole, anymore. We're in scary times

I'm actually starting to believe that public user-uploaded content as a whole should be made illegal or restricted on a government level. The internet has become pandora's box. This is different from what free speech protects. Naturally I'm talking now about the big social platforms, but it would have to extend to smaller places like this. This is obviously getting outside the scope of this thread, sorry

The internet isn’t going away anytime soon, and I’m sure that these communities will live on for many years to come. For better or worse…

The internet isn't going away entirely. Algorithmic feeds and anonymous posting is going to be looked at in the future as a barbaric attack on mass psychology.

Man I wish I made these.

Best thing I made was something political where everyone’s opinion was accepted.

No arguments, so can’t say it divides us. Don’t mute me mods, like 4 people saw it and everyone thought it was good

look, I was also annoyed by his spamming, but if chess.com really wanted to punish him I think muting him for a week or two would've been fine
