please don't...

I honestly do enjoy this place.
I love chess, I like a little chat during a game and I like talking to friendly people from all over the world.
What I don't like is a certain pervy atmosphere that appears here now and then. I don't mind comments on my pics, I quite like it when people say what they think about me - I guess everyone does ;) But don't get me wrong, I mainly put pics on here because I like to see a face when I play against someone, I reckon others like that as well.

Aaaaanyway, since I've joined chess.com I had a couple of incidents where I just didn't know what to think anymore. What is the matter with you guys? xD
Okay, just to make it clear: I don't want to see any pics of your cocks! I don't like you to ask me if you could see more of me and I don't like you talking pervy to me.

Still, I'm happy to be challenged by everyone who wants to play chess, I'm happy to talk and have fun :)
I just felt I should share my thoughts with you all :P

WOW, just came across ur blog! Seen girls here ignore these jerks, pervs and sychophants, and of course, there are those girls, equally squalid, with little or no moralality, who lap up their attention and encourage them - ergo, the reason why these creeps have grown in numbers this past year or two. It seems to me they'd all be more at home on a dating site but I guess that might blow their cover and reveal their Billy Nomates sad s virtual lives. LOL

Top girl!!! Full marks for hitting back! Good luck in your games

The bi dimensionality of the written intereaction sometimes lends itself to all kinds of missunderstandings... fascinating.

I make no comment as to whether he engages in "crude behavior," but that's your business. Laughing

Hi, maybe there is a bit of a misunderstanding.  I don't see any obnoxious comments in this thread, and the originator of this thread is not posting about comments she or actions she found offensive in this thread.  If you are referring to comments posted by Puppaz, well, that's young love.  Smile  Puppaz and the poster of this thread actually know each other, and her objections to crude behavior do not pertain to him or his comments here.

Dear Ms Berta Wooster,

I have a simple idea. Let this item (Please don't) simply disappear.Then the  obnoxious comments that accompanied it would also also go.Lay down strict rules of communication under your profile.Let them be there as a permanent feature on your page. I think the batgirl has done it on her Home Page here.

Write something that catches your fancy, chess or anything under the sun. Let people read something new.

It's your blog and you should not lose your right to self-expression by any kind of self-censorship.But an unwarranted comment is an uninvited guest on your blog. It  just does n't belong.

@chessbibliophile Thank you for your concern, I already wrote to the administrators about one pic, I don't report comments and such cause I think a normal conversation is enough to tell them to stop.

I don't think it's fair that >I< have to change my profile because of people who can't restrain themselves. I like having a profile and I like being able to see others profiles, so it would be sad if I had to change mine down to almost nothing - not acceptable.
I don't have pics on here that say "TAKE ME NOW" or sth like that ;) I even cut one pic to show not too much.

Anyway,thank you for that idea :)

I am sorry about the behaviour of these people.Please ask the administrators of the site how to deal with obnoxious comment.Usually, offensive stuff is quietly deleted.In the meanwhile you can take some precautions. Edit your profile.Delete the image and also personal information and messaging that would make you accessible to perverse characters.

If possible, delete the present item and the comments including mine.

At least you are left in peace.

thank you for your comments :)

 

and @puppaz: boobs will arrive soon, for real xD

Could I please have pictures of your boobs, Tina?

Oh well... I'll have to make do with your actual boobs instead.

Woe is me ;)

 

But yes, you're not the first person this has happened to on here. I guess it is the internet, and some people act like there will be no consequences to their actions, doing whatever they can for the next cheap thrill, but if they're ultimately just after that sort of thing, I hope they stay away from you from now on. *kisses*

Thats just wrong. : (

Haha, Peter, my thoughts exactly.  There are a group of men, pretty much the same ones, who are ready the moment a woman posts a photo to attempt to flatter her, I suppose, into meeting them.  Or to compliment them and make them feel they are "special" friends from afar, I suppose.  Absolutely pathetic.

Of course, with some of the pics posted by women (not you, BW) I wonder what their motives are too.

This "profile" aspect is the strange thing about this site.....

hehe, PETE! don't laugh, it's serious. *throws food*
I don't know the plan, it's just inappropriate and senseless.

LOL!!! That was so funny! But seriously tho, shame on you pervs. Grow up! 

i wonder why i have not gotten any boob pics from ladies ... i guess women are the stronger more reffined gender after all ... are we really so desperate to hook up? Says a lot about our gender dudes, its honestly embarassing. On behalf of all the decent men out there i appologize.

But hold on, let me get this straight... you see a girl online, you send her a photo of your penis, and what exactly is your plan? That shes going to say "hey nice shlong, lets be pals!"... Thats just stupid.
