Mannerism

Sort:
Avatar of shadowedradiance

Hello,

I am making this post hoping to get some support from the chess community to urge chess.com to implement some type of reporting for prejudice/immature account holders as well as to NOT have the chat box cleared when the opponent ‘disables chat’.  This way if the chat log is saved per the flagged game for an individual, and that individual has a lot of flags on their account it could be looked into or possible automatically disable chat for them for people they are not friends with since their mannerism with strangers is appalling.  The following is along the lines of what happens often on this site and I am merely suggesting a solution for the issue.

 

[edited by kohai - email me the opponents username please. I will handle this myself.  

kohai@chess.com 

For future reference please don't post profanities in the forums.

[EDIT]

Thank you kohai@chess.com.

@MDWallace Yes, the disabled chat is appearing more and more tempting.

@whirlwind2011 I do apologize for posting the conversation, I only wanted to convey the gravity of what people say and possibly suggest a solution that would not burden chess.com to heavily.  I understand where your coming from and of course I won't make that mistake again.

Your opponents have an expectation of privacy with their game chat.  I believe it's inappropriate to post a specifically named member's game chat here in these forums. 

I urge you to edit out the named member's handle, but you remain free to include an uneditted copy in a Support ticket, if you wish to draw this to the attention of the site moderators.

It doesn't surprise me. They're pry the same "Pieces of Work" that won't resign when their position is hopeless, against a player or players much better than them.

I changed the name as suggested, not out of respect, but to approapriately address the issue.  You mentioned a support ticket, thank you for mentioning that because I could not find it earlier.  I will submit it at a later time.

It seems to me that by posting the rants of these "chessplayers"we are giving them what they want; publicity.  If we just ignore them maybe the problem will go away. If not the only thing to do is hit disable chat.

@OP: You were just as inappropriate, in my opinion, to copy and paste the obscenity into the forums. It was completely unnecessary. It is just as offensive when it is misspelled as when it is not. Even though the abusive player originally made those vile comments, you are on the hook for displaying them in the main forums for all to see. We are not benefited from knowing exactly how your conversation went.

great idea! Those who are found to be repeatedly abusive could have chat permanently disabled!

It's a SERIOUS problem on this site and anything you can do to draw more attention to it trying for a solution is warranted.
