Always going down, especially when they pass off bots as opponents. Priority seems to be with revenue over sportsmanship. (never get a rematch with a bot etc) Too much Globalist AI and cheats.

ex-Twitterites Take Over Chess.com

The people who WERE running Twitter and got fired are now running Chess.com. Seems they don't want independent thinking chess players having their way. Their solution, just like at Twitter, is to just shut you down and censure you.

Automatic abandoning AND COSTING elo

This ridiculous. The could at least stop it from taking the elo when kicking me from games! At least replace the elo. I'm at WAS at my highest ever and now I'm well below my highest. This is not my games it's because I'm being abandoned for no reason.
