"To report a user for cheating or bad behavior,"
Bad behavior? You know, played chess for a long time, both in clubs and online, and all I can say I hate what the online community has become. I understand you want to give the people what they want, but the small pockets of genuine enthusiasm being shared have become almost impossible to find. You've found your niche offering the cheap thrills of rapid chess and don't even make room for those of us looking to benefit from the real challenge classical chess offers. I love what you've done with the site, and I had pretty much decided I was going to donate, but I won't be coming back. And it's more than the lack of offerings, because you've also done a wonderful job of making a hearth and home for gamer trash and their assholery. Sure, I can dish it out, even though I would much, much, much rather not have to. I played chess for a long time and recently came back to it and can only tell you I'm profoundly disappointed and totally pissed off. The community used to filled with genuine joy of like minded people finding each other and sharing their enthusiasm. And I find that this is one of the big reasons I came back to the game. The online chess "community" is no longer one worth belonging to.
You have no idea how sad this makes me feel.
So you don't get the support I had pretty much decided to give because you've done a very good job with the site and do me a favor and just delete my account. You'll likely want to send confirmation emails and all, but please, lets get this done as soon as possible. Putting up with the users here ruins the fun and is a biggr price than I'm willing to pay.
Hello,
I did not understand your message.
I am not a good english speaker, but that's not why I don't understand.
Who are you speaking to? Lichess community, Lichess devs, or someone else?
You quoted "To report a user for cheating or bad behavior,"
But who said that and in what context?
Moreover I don't see what you ask/report.
You say that the lichess team as made a wonderful job, and that you can't pay the price of putting up with the users
So you want some better way to "control" the other users?
I don't know what is your goal here
If you are trying to help lichess team, i think they will need some concrete tips/requests
If you are trying to change the community, I have no idea what to do
If you just need to express your anger before leaving, I understand, but I think it is not a great idea to do it here in that way
In each cases, irony is very difficult to spot with such messages, maybe consider saying what you think directly. It would help lecters
You found gamers on a web site devoted to the game of chess, that upsets you, and you consider them to be trash.
That's probably not the sort of feedback that is going to be useful.
Maybe something more specific would help you convey whatever point you may have.
Especially those users with the brute vocabulary…
You can't be friends with everyone. And there are still good people around. This time you experienced dark side of the internet, maybe tomorrow you will have a positive experience. Be patient and don't give up so easily.
don't join the dark side, Anakin

His account was closed 😂 guess he got his wish.
I really don't understand your argument
