Cleaning up community?   Sounds nostalgic, but I hope it doesn’t turn into a cult. 

Anyways, I think users who spams with consecutive "a" "e" "h" etc letters only comments  should be immediately IP banned. 

a little harsh, maybe just a long mute+a warn

That was an exaggeration humor. Pardon my wry humor.

I recomend a new rule that deals with 'necroposting', which is basically attempting to make a new comment and restart an old forums., for example, lets say 1 year later someone discovers this forum (exagerurated but it's just for the point). They would post a comment that's not exactly relevent, such as just a simple hi! or saying something random. the people who originally contributed are then forced to come back here to deal with notifs. So I really think necro posting should be disallowed.

except that this is on the internet, so instead you could hire a hacker to wipe the entirerty of chess.com and then start it from scratch.

I agree. There are many trolls which are annoying.

I want to put in a set of new rules such that it won't be too bad anymore. Some of them may be too strict, some may be too light, you can state your opinion.

  • Spam forums like "pls friend me" or "make this the biggest thread on chess.com" should either be locked or immediately be moved to off topic.
  • Threads that have "served their purpose," like when one asks a simple question which has been answered and the OP has indicated that they understand, should be locked.
  • Don't get me wrong: I think the bongcloud is a great opening. But in all honesty, troll threads like this one, if abusive should be locked, and if just "troll", funny, should be moved to off-topic.
  • Advertisement=lock and possibly even mute if excessive.
  • Ability to report threads for lock, and the more requests, the higher the priority for staff. 
  • Things not related to chess should be in off-topic.
  • Bumping old threads from a long time ago should be discouraged unless you have something to add to the conversation.
  • When submitting a bug report, preferably set a format for it. For example: 

Summary of the problem:

Steps to reproduce:

1. 

2. (etc)
