Anyways, as a courageous man myself, genuinely what were you expecting. Asking for a best of 3 game mode would be fine in like, site feedback, but to go into GENERAL and title your post "Chess.com is filled with cowards" immediately paints a picture in my head: a 5'3 dude with no muscles and no real personality who acts tough online knowing full well that as soon as he logs off, he's gonna be shoved into a locker, have his lunch money confiscated and plot up some revenge scenario in his head at night, and instead... rage baits chess players?
This moderator is making me uncomfortable
Sort:
I dont think those threads are ragebait at all
I would like to see this textbook of yours that says that the op is trolling
last thing we need is more hanging pieces threads.

The boy in question:
Like, if you insult and generalize an entire community with these obvious ragebait threads, yeah, they're gonna get shot down. You're complaining about a couple online forums, who's fragile now?
From what I've observed, many of you can only see things on a surface level.
Anyways, what I’m doing here isn’t being fragile... it’s being smart and tactical. I’m simply reporting and documenting the shady actions of a mod.

I completely disagree with you on pretty much all the topics I've seen you post about (most of them are ridiculous). However, I do agree that the idea of reporting people you believe are guilty of cowardice is very strange... wouldn't that be a waste of moderators' time? Normally, the "accusations" explanation for closed threads is about cheating accusations, because accusing people of cheating isn't allowed in the forums. They should have used a reason like "Trolling and abusing other users" instead.
So you think I’m trolling when I say cowards are taking the fun and competitiveness out of the game, and that a best-of-3 option should be implemented for courageous players like myself and others who have raised this issue for years?
You can’t be serious.
This is the exact reason why I say the platform is flooded with cowards...because what kind of mindset is that??
But that's the thing - you don't want a Best-of-3 "option", because we have that already. Just send a message to your opponent and ask them if they want to play a Best-of-3. Instead, what you argued for in your thread is for all matches on the site to be an enforced Best-of-3, even if people don't want to, even if people are busy, because not agreeing to rematches (especially if you specifically ask for them - it's okay for you to sometimes decline them if you're busy though, because you're Markus Schneider) makes you a coward and not worthy of the brave, grand game of chess.
I am convinced you people only read to see what you want to see.

If I told you to stop stalking me and go improve your poor chess ratings, would you call that a personal attack? I ask because telling me to 'go get a job' is no different.
The hypocrisy most of you display on this platform is honestly laughable... and I won’t stop calling it out.
You’re all ignoring the shady behavior I’m exposing and rushing to defend the mod. But what you don’t realize is that your responses are also creating a public record... one that shows you fully support how the mods operate. So if something unfair ever happens to your account, it’ll be hard to argue against it without looking hypocritical.

From Reddit to discord. Mods usually end up going too far. It drives a lot of people away from online forums sadly..
We've arrested 5 moderators but none of them are talking.

There’s a moderator who has been targeting all of my threads and locking them without any clear or justified reason.

Don't set him off again!
I like to see him crashout right in fromt of us, so I can laugh at someone crashing out over a chess site.
0/10 raigbait get better
Ragebait? 3 people liked my comment, so how is it ragebait? There's absolutely NO way you called me ragebaiter for speaking facts. Maybe research the definition of ragebait before assuming it's ragebait. Cope harder Mr. "I hate people who don't rematch because I lose 50 games in a row".
That's just a skill issue, no facts, just false

I agreed with you that the reason given was odd. It's the only thing I do agree with you on.
Yeah, but agreeing with me clearly bothers you, so you still tried to justify the thread being locked... claiming I was ‘abusing’ people.
For the record, pointing out that someone’s explanation shows they’re acting out of fear, is not abuse. Any sensible person can go back to the threads and see that there's no abuse.
so if someone goes back and finds abuse, then they can’t be a sensible person.

That’s exactly what’s happening here... mods are using their privilege to shut down threads just to silence me.
Look at the people who downvote everything I post/comment. Now imagine if they became moderators. The truth is, a mod is just another person like them.... the only difference is they have the power to mute people and lock threads even for unjustified reasons.

You crawled out of nowhere just to nitpick this comment?
Ridiculous.
"That’s exactly what’s happening here... mods are using their privilege to shut down threads just to silence me"..................And you know this after being here for 1 month.

If there was any abuse, then present it as evidence.
Notice how everyone is only focused on the thread title... not the actual content or discussion?
And if the title was abusive, it would be edited or removed. Same goes for the post’s content....and even individual comments in the discussions
Threads only get locked if the whole discussion violates the tos.... and in my case, I clearly wasn't breaking any.
