Chess.com politicizing flair?

Sort:
Kylezo

Hello, I noticed that you added a ukraine flair after the russian invasion, but have decided to ignore the identical plight of palestine by adding a flag flair? Why one but not the other?

this is not a political question or debate. this is a question about a disturbing double standard in the choices of flair the company has voluntarily added.

i don't know why you went ahead and injected this into my thread when i specifically excluded it from this conversation in my post, maybe you didn't make it all the way through before you started typing idk. delete this, now.

Has anyone noticed that Russian flags are just grey rectangles here?

I support your complaint! This site is totally biased. Disgusting!

Chess.com shouldn't support terrorist groups, but yes it's a double standard. Either unban Russia or just remove all flags entirely.

Stand-by... a Moderator will be by shortly to lock the post; leave it posted for eternity; and then the fight will start again in the next forums post.

Chess NOT Politics!

Locked topic.

I understand your question is not to have a political debate, rather, it is about chess.com policy. I have removed off-topic political comments as they were not about the use of flairs or chess.com's policy that the OP asked about.

I have shared your concern with other staff members and when chess.com has any policy updates or makes public statements I expect it will be appear in the news section. As a moderator, I cannot make any comments about when or if that may happen.

You may also submit requests for additional flairs to support@chess.com.
