A Report Button - Chess Forums - Page 2

I think we need one of those on chess.com. I hate tattling, but just look at the Clock Hacking thread's 2 to 3 most recent pages. When the report button is clicked, the reporter must explain who and why, and a mod will review it. It would help cut down on flame throwers.

Never heard of clock hack though.

Uhhh, if a player is using a computer and they are only 1200, then they aren't using the computer very well....

no kidding. i have been using Chess Titans and i am up around 1500. can't imagine what would be worse than Chess Titans.

Pity chessocity didn't come with the evidence though.

This whole time and no one challenged him to a game to show everyone that he could do it consistently without explaining the method?

What is controversial anyway? Tabboo stuff like online cheating?

If the thread is interesting, I'll join the fray, but I have learned to do sidesteps to avoid stepping on !@#$.

Yeah I've seen those, but I still find tidbits of relevant posts in every other page.

I guess when the thread is hijacked for two pages and the OP gives up, then it is a lost cause. Otherwise, I just scroll past the idle chatter.

I ment 1200 in real life. They're still highly rated here.

What????

EDIT: Never mind I get it now.

How is that detail even possible? Is it because there is a profile page that shows one's online rating and one's USCF/FIDE rating that is NOT entered by the user himself/herself? From what I can see, people can fudge their OTB ratings in their chess.com accounts. Uncool but out of anyone's hands.
