That was a lot of words to prove and to say nothing. Stop being cringe and "threatening" to contact the FBI or - god forbid - share to your Reddit and Twitter (oh the horror, please don't do that). Just do it if you're so sure of yourself.
But we know you won't be contacting the FBI or any legal counsel. Plenty of people posts walls of text claiming that they have some magic, legal bullet to attack Chess.com. But every time, people seem to not actually do anything.
Not to mention, if you did have legitimate legal concern - posting on the forums is not the correct place. You would need to contact Chess.com directly. This is all bark and no bite.
First off, I want to firmly state that I am in possession of more than enough evidence for my claims and accusations in this post. If this isn't explained or resolved, then I have sufficient motivation to contact my local field office (FBI) with said proof. The crimes of this site would amount to a RICO. Predicates are under Title 18, stalking.
Forewarning: some aspects of this post are undoubtably read/seen as absurd, and yet its veracity is unwavering. It began with the awareness of microphone access and it progressed/escalated to specific accounts (unprovoked) harassing me.
It had first appeared on my radar when I noticed that my computer's microphone indicator would often flip on whenever I launched this website and initiated a game. The sinister aspect of this situation: this website's access to my microphone was in spite of my device's permissions clearly denying access.
I triple checked, reset the permission denial, and would enter/exit the website to capture evidence that this was indeed happening.
Bypassing my device's microphone permission denial would constitute illegally breaking into my device and placing me under surveillance:
18 U.S.C. 2261A(2)with the intent to ... or place under surveillance with intent to kill, injure, harass, or intimidate another person, uses the mail, any interactive computer service or electronic communication service or electronic communication system of interstate commerce, or any other facility of interstate or foreign commerce to engage in a course of conduct that—
I would continue playing chess despite this, with my physical microphone slider switched off in order to counteract it. I have a dual-screen setup, so while I'm playing on my main screen, the second screen usually plays music from YouTube or my preferred music app.
Now, it is understandable that cheating is an elusive epidemic on this website. Despite various employees touting "Harvard statistician cheat detection algorithms", I had viewed a YouTube video about Chess.com's cheat detection mechanisms: where Danny Rensch claims they can "check your other devices for cheating". It is now deleted, as this admits blatant cyber criminality and contradicts the strength of their purported Harvard statistician level cheat detection.
It is said that "once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, and three times is enemy action".
Maybe a year later, (my rating had peaked around 1980s, maybe 1984) while playing, I was viewing a video about a certain movie character on my second monitor: I weirdly got matched with an account of the same name. This movie character is a spy.
I had attributed that to coincidence, but things got much weirder when I began receiving spam challenges from an account named "Agent". Then, my next two opponents were named "Shakennotstirred-007" and another account referencing this obscure spy character.
Once again, three times is enemy action.
Multiple direct references to my other screen, in a short sequence, only makes logical sense if they were accessing more than just my microphone. This aligns with comments from this site's staff.
Perhaps they don't realize that they are violating the law and maybe they just need a refresher.
If this post is ignored or deleted, then I will be sharing a copy on Reddit and my Twitter (over 10,000 followers, with millions of views this quarter). Hoping for a swift explanation
Thanks!
uhh sure whatever you say
Take the -15 elo and shut up
can i have some the medication you take -- its sounds dreamy--
all they could say on the other one was it was a duplicate... well here we are and i think chess.com should deal with this now
I'm just wondering why so many informative posts got deleted.
