Honestly, if I were 17, I would want to play every day with those goofy chesskid.com pieces. Those things are weird. Gives me a migraine just by thinking about it.

Do we see how many reports we have made of accusing people of cheating, versus how many actually doing it? According to my math, only 11.4% of our reports were actually cheating. Really guys? We are just throwing false cheating claim

Incorrect logic here. You assume that chess.com can determine cheating in 100% of the cases. Often they just can't be sure. And so actual cheater simply gets away.

And online no one is saint, it's normal to suspect cheaters online because it is so easy to cheat. This is not extremely rude. If you live with your opponent in a bunker with no electricity for 1 year just two of you and then you play OTB and you accuse him of cheating - THAT would be extremely rude.

And 11.4% is quite good "score" still. Your suggestion? Stop suspecting, stop reporting? Would that help? Again, broken logic here.

You can change designs on chesskid.com easy, look same as here:

You don't have to use goofy pieces with eyes etc.

I feel great forcing kids under 18 to go to a site that, as you age seems more childish and embarrassing to play. I think most moderators try their best and aren’t lazy, I also believe this platform is much better than most because cursing is allowed on them, the no moderation on profile pics? Solved by players reporting, it’s not like they can show nudes on their profiles and become a GM or something. 😑

*Cursing is allowed on other sites not this one* just had to clarify that

Also how do you properly quote someone as I’m unfamiliar with the forum controls.

On the comment you want to quote, on the right hand side of the comment, (Kinda near the upvote/downvote button) there is a quotation mark. Click that and it will copy the comment you want to quote correctly.

Grey836, I'll say one thing: play a game on chesskid. Hit Review. You will cry with a smile. And you will never return to chess.com.

If you suspect everyone is cheating, your chess will never improve. You think that the reason you lost was not because you made mistakes and learn from them, but that your opponent is using an engine, meaning you play the same way with no improvement. You hurt yourself more when you think your opponent is a cheater. Only be suspicious if it's one of those obvious cheaters who have a 90% win rate with a 2 week old account. Thinking everyone is cheating is not a good mindset for your chess.

Obviously report obvious, but if there is no hard evidence you can see from their play or profile, don't report.

speaking of good moves, I made a brilliant move on monday

it was an unranked game tho, but it was pretty funny how it happened. I tried to bait him into taking my knight so that hopefully I could win more material

Children are the future of chess. Why would you want to ban children?
Yes Dodger yes indeed. Many chess champs started off in chess clubs going against adults out of curiosity, why stop the initiative?

Even if they are, how do children benefit from 5h1tposting on these forums, how does that improve their chess skill? Uhm isn't forums created for chess topics and communication only? Improving chess skills is not discussed or mentioned here For their development if would be better to restrict their access to chess.com. Plus this forum is simply not safe. Yesterday I've seen how explicit content was removed by mods after 4 hours. 4 hours that was publicly available. That was daytime. And during the night they are sleeping or something, so some posts get deleted only after 8 hours. No phone verification, I'm not even talking about ID verification. This is not a safe place for kids. Chess.com made their choice - they've created chesskid.com. Lichess has "kid mode" that a parent can enable for their kid. At last the only thing that you said that is correct Here you don't have anything like that. A kid can go to the profile and enable chats back and chat in games. Chats get deleted after a game. For profile pics there is no pre-moderation. Thats why report buttons are there duh This is such a low standard.You mean lack of staffs yes why not apply for one then? No wonder this website is banned in most schools. Breh who plays chess or discuss chess on school? School subjects are different from chess

Chess.com must also create sites for boomers like you calling it chessboomers

18 and older is not necessarily a boomer.

Report button is not a preventative measure. You clearly don't understand how to organize a safe space for kids (probably because you're a kid).

P. S. Chesskid is not banned in schools and they actually have a grant program for schools, any principal can apply and open a chess class, every kid will get free premium membership.
