A lot of spamming/trolling in OTD... • page 1/1 • Lichess Feedback • lichess.org

I've been observing the OTD forums for about a week, and honestly, I'm getting really frustrated with how much spamming and trolling is going on. A lot of users are hiding behind masked words, double meanings, or completely meaningless topics just to troll. I've reported many of them, but I haven't seen any action being taken.

Some users even seem to be friends with each other and start trolling in forums by creating meaningless topics, calling people names, etc. I recently created a topic and had a bunch of users literally trolling the idea I posted. I reported them too, but once again, nothing seems to happen.

So what's actually going on? Why does it feel like these reports are being completely ignored?

If this continues, I'm honestly not going to post anything anymore. Lichess used to feel like a much better place, but lately OTD has become incredibly frustrating to participate in :( </3.

Can you show some examples if possible? Thanks

About the OTD thing, I completely agree with you. Many people have already made threads about this, but to no avail.

As long as it stays in OTD it's ok.

An example from Game Analysis: One user had their, 'so f u' comment removed, but their, 'just enjoy it. twat' comment still remains (in the same thread, only a few comments apart...). This confirms that moderators are looking at reports, but not all of them. (Or, they think that calling someone, 'twat' is okay, but writing, 'this is a low-effort bragging thread' ---which I have done--- must be removed.)

(@)BaronVonChickenpants: A poorly moderated sub-forum is a safety hazard. If Lichess will not moderate Off-Topic Discussion properly, then they should remove it.

Oh, the moderators are downright helpful: https://lichess.org/forum/general-chess-discussion/why-do-most-players-refuse-a-rematch-in-1-0-bullet
