I would like a 100% ban on 0 games/0 moves people. Why would u sign up on an internet chess site if not to play chess. The only other reason would be to attack the site. I would also like non-subscribers to be limited in their posting rights until they have invested an arbitrary number of moves (100? ) in the site.
Something like this seems really reasonable in my "non-subscriber" opinion....
...anyone that would put the effort and time into creating "pseudo-handles" and playing useless games to "get past the "move/game quota"... is really wasting more of their life than it is worth....
...sure, there are some vendictive people in the world... but really.... who on earth would put that much effort into something so silly? Besides...what in the world could happen on a chess game site, that would inspire someone to go to all that trouble?
The "pay off" of slinging a few horrible words before it was detected, would be nill. Laughably silly. Anyone that did something like that should be more embarrassed than anything at that point in my opinion.

Originally posted by Phlabibit"The Customer is Always Right." is just an old adage. (It is not a cliché.) And was meant as a dig to non-sub BigDoggProblem who is not a customer. Evidently it got under your skin as well.
Yes, you certainly did by what you said... or why would you even write that? There are many customers here, and you stating the customer is always right to back up your post means we should listen to you, 'the customer'.

The consumer is always right.. and Big Dog is a consumer, he or she is valued member of this community.
Furthermore, his site membership helped attract advertisers to this site, and therefore has directly helped generate revenue for the site.
They are here primarily to play chess therefore I have no problem with them using forums as much as a subscriber.
Now this is too far....
As a non subscriber, I can't even post in the site help forum....now.
What is that saying to new users?
When I first arrived I posted a "howdy do" in the general forum... but new folks can't even do that now.
I posted a new game yesterday in the open games area, and find it has been removed... I want to address that, but find I have no way to do such.
Sounds like some serious control freak issues as well. But that's just an observation.
I posted a new game the other day in the open games area, and find it has been removed... I want to address that, but find I have no way to do such.
Anyone have an idea how a non subscriber would go about that without the ability toeven post in the site help forum?
Sounds very "third world country" like to impose such a degree of censorship...
...but that's just a non subscriber opinion.

You posted now in general forum,why you say you can't?

Maybe the game has been deleted by someone who picked it up and then deleted it for whatever reason,it happens very frequently.
For your concerns you can use the ''send feedback'' option at the bottom of the page,or send a private message directly to Russ.
