Why are people blocking me?

When I invite a chess player to talk about chess on a chess forum, they block me. Do I look like a bandit or a monster?

Well what specifically did you say? Do you have an example of this you can share?

Do you have an example

No. All correspondence is deleted. I'm talking about chess. Or about games, or about puzzles.

when they got a message from you, they were reminded that they didn’t want a message from anyone so they blocked everyone

So you ask them if they want to talk about chess on the forum? Seems normal... A few things maybe, your profile doesn't contain political stuff? Or your view on subjects of debate? Like flat earth v sphere earth?

Every schoolchild here knows Gagarin, the first person to fly around the earth.
But every adult is sure that Kubrick filmed the American landing on the moon in a Hollywood set.

Maybe they think I want to sell something?
I can't sell anything because I don't have any lessons or courses.
I can't sell lichess puzzles either. Because they are free, all 6 million of them.
Thanks to Liches for this. I can't sell free stuff.

You don't sell free stuff, you convince people to let you give away stuff.
