Chess.com Live Chess is flawed
When individuals choose to break the rules, they can "BLOCK" you which will prevent you from Reporting their rule breaking activity.
It is a deeply flawed system being used in Live Chess
You cannot Report cheating or rule breaking activity on Chess.com when the Cheater Offender blocks you. Take a look for yourselves
inexcusable
this is not a one off mistake by chess.com
chess.com allows for these cheaters to plague the site continuously then when we complain about them they punish us for it
rather than addressing the problem they pretend that nothing is happening
Cheaters are exploiting the flaws of chess.com because it doesnt seem like enough resources are being devoted to stopping them
and the systems in place dont catch cheaters and you cant report them when they block you
its such a flawed system
meanwhile those of us who abide by the rules and play fairly get punished by being suspended or closed for speaking out and speaking the truth
thats the opposite of what is supposed to happen
cheating is so bad online that everyone knows it is destroying chess
chess.com also doesn't allow you to prevent individuals from following your activity
shouldn't you be asked if someone can track when you log on to chess.com or when you are playing? what's so hard about allowing players to decide whether they are followed or not and to see who is following them online
so many flawed systems on chess.com and it just isn't working anymore
Titled Tuesdays attract many titled players but it also brings the worst highest cheating of the week.
chess.com also doesn't allow you to cancel games against accounts that you KNOW ARE CHEATING
in fact you get punished for aborting such matches. they put you in a bin where you have a difficult time finding matches against opponents and have to wait sometimes 15 minutes to play just for avoiding CHEATERS
ITS TERRIBLE
cheaters are attracted to Titled Tuesdays because they think they can have their bots play against titled players
titled players know this and complain all the time
this is a problem that chess players know about but chess.com wants to pretend it isn't happening and to avoid the issue entirely. so it punishes us for saying it
you are punishing the real players and rewarding the cheaters
in fact you get punished for aborting such matches.
Chess.com has no way of knowing why a person aborted a match, so this is untrue.
Oh yeah
go ask Chess.com if it is punishing players for aborting matches
When you click on the bio of an opponent and that opponent has won 20 games straight against 2200 level competition then that's a damn good sign of a cheater
so you avoid playing that opponent. do that a couple of times after getting paired with the same opponent and you suddenly get ostracized by the Live Chess matching program
YOU ARE PUNISHED FOR ABORTING MATCHES OR AVOIDING PLAYING KNOWN CHEATERS
cheaters are attracted to Titled Tuesdays because they think they can have their bots play against titled players
You can't play in TT unless you're titled, so what you said doesn't make sense.
Duh.
But these cheaters are not playing in titled tuesdays, they are in Live Chess to get matched against titled players who stick around after they get eliminated from titled tuesdays
this whole system sucks because its so obvious but no one at chess.com does anything to stop these cheaters
instead the focus is on censorship and preventing real players from voicing their concerns about the site. it's backwards
Everyone on Chess.com is so afraid to discuss the reality of what is happening
no one wants to speak the truth because chess.com bans and suspends accounts just for voicing your concerns about the rampant online cheating occurring
Heck, chess.com won't even allow us to avoid playing newly created cheaters who created their accounts within the last week or month. we know a majority of new accounts are fake cheaters but they pretend that there are thousands of 99% rated players joining the site daily and jumping above 2200 in days time
logic and reason are out the window here
Bro is upset for no reason
I was recently playing against a friend in Live Chess & he expressed his frustration about chess.com lack of enforcement of its rules against cheating
He said he just doesn't care anymore because the site is losing the battle against cheating
there are so many cheaters on chess.com that it is an epidemic in proportion. this is probably the single greatest threat to chess.com existence in the long run. failure to stop the online cheating is making the site questionable because real players are getting frustrated
Chess.com needs to take it seriously rather than just censoring us for speaking out about it.
Bro is upset for no reason
you don't know what you're talking about
what im expressing is the truth
I have female friends who played on chess.com and got stalked by "Followers" who received notifications of when they logged on and when they were playing chess online. They can't see who is following their online activity on chess.com and chess.com doesn't allow you to see or stop others from Following your activity
so you can't block them from following you without knowing who they are
those aren't followers, they are stalkers
Chess.com knows about this as many females have expressed this creepy feature but chess.com does nothing
the only way that any of this is going to get changed is when the influencers begin stepping up and standing up
that is going to begin a huge shift in online chess
Others who either can't play chess or just play chess occassionally dont notice the issues and say that if you don't like it then just leave
so rather than address the real problems, you just want those who point out the issues to leave so that the problems don't get addressed and you can pretend that they are non existent?
It is frustrating to say the least
if you take a look at all the conversation topics allowed on chess.com in the forums, then you will see how low brow the discussion topics are and how there is no serious conversations about what is happening to online chess
with the issue of Hans and the world wide coverage of the whole cheating scandal debacle in the news, you would think that serious discussions about cheating would be allowed in the forums. After all, it is very relevant to the future of chess
Instead, you have inane meaningless and brain fog topics such as 'am I good for an 8 year old' or 'could i have tips to improve' or 'how to overcome chess tilt' just turn your stomach nauseating banter nonsense around the age level of 5 year olds
Discussions of cheating, potential cheating, or cheat detection are not allowed in the general forums. If you would like to discuss, join the following club.
