Please stop advertising to those who have paid to remove ads. Just because it's one of your own doesn't magically change what it is.

I am a premium member! Why am I seeing ads?

From the Help page:

Please note that all members will occasionally see relevant (chess-related) advertising on the Chess.com main page.  

Premium members will not see ads on any other Chess.com pages. 

If you have just purchased your membership and are still seeing ads, please sign out and back in and the ads should be gone.

The site has always had the option to have a them in the main page, which is /home now. It's almost always related to site events.

Use an ad-blocker.

I do, man. I have to reblock the same banner every day, because it's actually not the same banner.

The problem is not whether or not chesscom has the right to do it. The problem, as pointed out, is that it's an old issue.

If you're always going to go on the attack you shouldn't be a mod.

@justbefair just posted the support article about it (the same link I did).

The mods’ response here is as much of an attack as the original post is whiny complaining ie. reading more into the tone of the post than is possible over the internet

This is not right. The paying members should not be seeing any ads.

They aren't. Premium members only see banners announcements of chess.com events and features.
