Martin Stahl is a very patient man

I have to admire Martin for the way he patiently explains the site rules to posters who get out of line. Even if he closes a topic he is polite about it and provides a link where players can appropriately express their grievances. I don't know how he does it, some of these posts boil my blood. And the repetition, my god. Public cheating accusations are not allowed! Why is that so hard for people to understand? Anyway, shout out to Martin for bringing order to chaos.

I have to agree, being a cc mod is by no means an easy task.

Arti I had a feeling you would show up here. You are hereby blocked from posting, have a good day.

Yes, I completely agree.

Yes

He's a cheather believe it or not. I have spent so many hours looking at his statistics. Don't believe me just take some time and look for yourself. Look at any game played against a CM is an obvious one. I've reported him a few times. But ya I totally agree with you he is very patient.

He's a moderator. I think he can view the reports.

Yeah I figure he just deletes it right away.

I don't understand. If you want people to believe he's a cheater why would you tell them to look at his games vs CMs? They weren't suspicious in the slightest.

Really you don't? Maybe that's because you went from 1500 to 1800 in less than 2 months and went from 1000 to 2000 in under 2 years. That's very impressive. Looking at your statistics I can understand why you would defend someone cheating. Look at your "Mate in 2" percentage at 98% compared to your peers at the same rating it's astounding, even look at Hikaru's mate in 2 percentage is lower than yours with less games played. You're very talented bro your better than hikaru congrats because he is literally 1000 points higher rated than you.

Anyways so for Martin, How about his daily games won accuracy percentage of players rated above 1900?

What do you think about at 300 games played his daily rating is 1900 and at 300 games rapid his rating is 1500?

Not suscpicious in the slightest?

Hey I'm just calling it how I see it. I could be wrong what do I know I'm just some random guy.

I don't know where you see that I went from 1500 to 1800 in two months and 1000 to 2000 in 2 years, so please show me. It took me 7 years to get to 2000 on this site.

A mate in two percentage at 98% isn't impressive in my opinion. I should be finding every single mate in two unless I'm really low on time.

Hikaru is 1000 points higher than me, of course I'm worse than him. I don't see your point.

I can't see his "games won accuracy percentage" of players 1900+ because his insights are private.

No, in my opinion it's not suspicious in the slightest. Have you ever considered that Martin may have already had experience playing chess before he started playing on chess.com?

This is why cheating accusations aren't allowed in the public forums - because so many people have no clue about what cheating really looks like and toss out these BS accusations while saying "Just asking questions".

Only the Fair Play team have access to the Fair Play reports - the Moderators can't even read them, let alone delete them. Yet more BS simply because someone doesn't like that person or has a problem with authority in general.

And yet the site tolerates junk like this in its forums. People accuse Chess.com of censorship when the reality is that they're way too lenient.

Kudos for giving kudos to Mr. Stahl. I think he has definitely proved his patience and I have always appreciated his tactfulness and helpfulness, and he even joined in one of my jokes once. I was flabbergasted. I was like, this guy is supposed to be the stoic one. I was rolling on the floor. I kept thinking about his comment and how it seemed to indicate he didn't really get the joke. I went back to look at who it was and was thinking who is this idi...Oh, it's Mr. Stahl. That's when I hit the floor. 🤣

Its getting deep

:C

Suck*ng really hard down there

Totally agree! Shout out to mr. Martin for being so kind and helpful!! He never let you feel bad because of your “stupid” question.

I agree, one of the best mods. The AARoads Forum could use him, with their extreme tyrannical censorship.

100%

he sucks!!! he is tolitarian!
