       Just keep it for a few days, a couple of weeks. Anything longer, and other people will think you ARE a cheater.

Yeah, you are propably right but there is some spite in me telling me ''if people are so dumb than I'll let them think that I'm a cheater''.

I am often disabling chat but sometimes I forget and I get somebody who starts blasting really immature and disgusting hate messages at me, presumably to throw off my concentration. It's a total bully situation, and while disabling chat works I still feel like these low-lifes should feel some consequences. Then sometimes I get messages with flaming hate and totally bogus claims like I cheat or only play white and others. It just brings down an otherwise excellent website and game. Is it just me or do you all get this? As a webmaster I understand that a public website is prone to this kind of spam, but as a community I wonder if there is someway to identify and weed out the haters.

Obviously they didnt read the site TOS

I also kept the nasty msgs around for a while, I was trying to find a way to report it. However I agree with whomever said it earlier, just delete and move on.

Send in a support ticket.

Kinglish

Support ticket to report abuse? Ok, will do. For what the other thing is worth, I deleted the errant second account, so it's 2legit2quit :)

I didn't know having two accounts on chess.com is not allowed.

Titled players are the only people allowed to have two accounts.

It happens to us all low rated blitz players are the worst in my experience. Either ignore it or if you want to really get them going, be nice to them. For example, next time your accused of using an engine say thank you for comparing my play to a computer I had no idea I was that good! They get so mad lol

Good idea! That's I'd call fighting fire with fire... Oddly it happened to me time ago that someone «almost» accused me to cheat. But after the game, when I saw the PC analysis, I was surprised that he accused me after 2 innacuracies and a mistake!!.. Still wonderin'

I used to block all of them (unwanted players) but after a long list, my chat is off by default (settings).

Check out what this guy wrote on my notes. How does someone use an engine during a 3 0 game anyway?

He obviously didn't see you're insured by the mafia.

And look at his profile, too. The guy appears to be a sore loser

Why only titled players and not nobody?

Chat off by default - awesome, didn't realize that was a setting!

Artie-McFartie: Eater

Artie-McFartie: Good at math, bad at driving

Artie-McFartie has disconnected. They have 3 minutes to reconnect...
