 Block all messages option?Some players may simply want complete privacy,or not be bothered by other player inquiries on different subjects ect.Then if you don't respond back,sometimes the message sender feels you are being rude.To avoid this,the message sender will then simply receive a "general" message that the player is...."not accepting any messages at this time".Not accepting any messages at all isn't being rude,its just stating that the player simply does not want to accept any "calls"for the time being!Better than placing individual players on an ignore list,which can be even more time consuming and notta nice! I think it is sort of a good idea.But opinions will vary,of course! |

So it would have of course,nothing to do with being sociable or not,if one does not respond.It is actually the opposite,that is being MORE "polite"by NOT accepting any messages for the general GK player pool,atleast at intervals when a player might be busy,sick,desire privacy,meditation,leaving GK for months or years,or a host of many other reasons,including but not limited to simply not wanting to answer messages or read them.People turn off their answering machines at home for a reason.And that does not mean that they are not being sociable.It actually might be justifiably HARDER,NOT EASIER to respond to messages for many reasons. So not accepting any "calls"or messages,especially if they are in bulk form,would be in essence a good "optional"click idea to alert a message sender,rather than place someone on an ignore list. Again,opinions vary.But I think it is a good idea in certain circumstances.I don't expect it to get implemented,but I thought i'd bring it up anyway! TA |

What about an option |
||
|
just be nice person! problem solve!!!! |

@ mikedc But the thread was about some players not wanting any PM's at all(I have received many people asking me for advice on this)... and possibly blocking all if possible,even nice guys with nice chat,not simply "stop talking".Talk in a forum or a club,but a private messaging center is "sacred" to some players,like opening ones private mail.So,it really has nothing to do with being nice or not.On the flip side of the coin,there are those who ARE rude who enter others PM's and talk either trash,give unwanted advice and more but in a negative way,even if they mean..."nice",for their version of "nice"is actually a put down.This is where the suggestion came above to be able to put a "do not disturb"sign on ones PM center.I am sure many can relate to what I am describing.Many of my friends use the block list,but then that still keeps the door open for random unwanted nonsense from disturbed blitz players,unwanted advice and more.I have had several unwanted PM's to me over the last 2 years in my messaging center and had to block that person for his "version"of being "nice"was actually being very "rude". I suppose that option will never come about,but it was just a thought.I have given other suggestions in the past,including a "chat off"feature in blitz,long before that chat off feature came into existence.Sure enough,a year later that chat off feature appeared in blitz.And NOW,do many others use the chat off feature in GK blitz?You bet they do!It IS well needed!So again,its not always a matter of being "nice",but not wanting to be disturbed and bothered by others or their nonsense. Best,and thanks for your input mikedc Joe |

and @ sccadams... That is like an umbrella of safety against unwanted PM's and more.And it has nothing to do with being "antisocial".Some players simply want privacy for no other reason.I can't tell you how many dumb PM's I received over the years from others and a few sicko's.I have blocked them,but then,with your idea,that PM would have never reached me. Take care sccadams and good luck! Best, Joe |
||

Also @ sccadams NOW that would also be a perfect or near perfect suggestion.Its kind of a spam filter!By analogy,its like a religious nice guy coming to my door at home and he is very nice,but many others like me do not want his pamplets or a quick sermon of "niceness",so a do not disturb sign on the door is also "nice" and gives the door knocker a nice "no"to go to the next house and stay away. Best, Joe |

@ both sccadams and @mikedc (summary): I forgot to mention that it is a proven fact that there are a few "trolls"on GK who enter both the GK forums and ones personal PM center....INCLUDING MY PM center in the past.This has also been recently proven by other members on GK here by well known and respected names who have DEFENDED me several times against the troll in those forums.Being a "troll"is NOT "nice" and inferring that I am crazy or deluded in those forums while at the "same time" trying to change the subject line of the thread is not only WRONG,but against GK policy.I am sure most would agree on this fact. Some of these "trolls"infer the word "be nice",yet they in themselves are the root of evil and disrespect on GK.I have been on GK since 2005 and know all and see all. And then,the problem is they change their account from time to time and "reenter"ones PM center,so its a continual cycle of disrespect and more.Yes,this happens but would not be known to those who rarely get many messages like I have over the years.Sure,these things can be reported,but better to not allow any senders "in"until the name is checked out first.THIS is why I say to my MANY friends and reader on GK,that PM messaging should have some kind of control factor simply beyond an ignore list.Now,I only have one member on my ignore list and for GOOD solid reasons.That person knows who he is,yet persists on little tactics in the forums to try and gain allies.But he has failed and actually has ZERO friends on GK and no one usually responds to this "troller"because others KNOW and have exposed him for who he really is. On the other hand,I have tons of friends on GK who respect me for all the contributions I have given to GK as "deeper insight"for years and years.Respect IS earned....and trolling is NOT being respectful,nor is trying to belittle someone in an open GK forum. Thanks for reading scccadams & mikedc(and others!) Take care all! Joe And for those who want to explore my old club(now closed due to my retirement)here it is: gameknot.com As deeper insight,that club took me many months and years to compile info and help others out on GK with their chess games and my personal advice as a senior master here and with the USCF. So,when it comes to someone inferring that I am deluded or other negative things about me,you can now quickly realize that those comments by a troll are totally absurd.And this has been explained to the troll time and time again,not only by me,but others in the forums. No,I will not mention names here to put anyone on "the spot",but all my closest friends on GK now know WHO he is. The bottom line: I have earned much respect on GK as far back as 2005.But other "non supporting"members of GK who do not even care to contribute to the better welfare of GK by becoming a premium member many times show their "real colors"when they also begin to enter someones PM or make dumb and silly comments about me AND others in the general GK forums.But beware...I have set the stage for "troll control"in the forums by my friends on GK and it IS working,at least in part!Now,if only that control can be focused on the PM center with a new option of control...that would be perfect! Best all and thanks for reading! Au revoir Joe |

The difference between being "funny" and true reality... My best friends like LS,Hubert,Tim and others and 50 more member friends of mine KNOW who "talks funny" in the forums or in my PM center.And they know that it is NOT me... BUT "someone else".So trolling talk is cheap,but MY actions and my help over the last 15 years or more prove beyond a doubt that I have raised GK to a higher plateau level of excellence.But a troll and troublemaker will never succeed in gaining friends and allies no matter how hard they try to gain friend and will remain off the "friends list"by all.This IS a fact.The troll and troublemaker will also never add anything good to help the quality of GK,but only downgrade the forums and PM centers.Sometimes the troll and troublemaker does not even know he is doing it,(like breaking GK etiquette)and forum rules which only further proves that he needs to leave the GK forums permantly.Again,no names here.If he would actually apologize to ME,maybe,just maybe a peace would ensue.Perhaps that is too much to ask. So insults and demeaning me is simply cheap talk and hollow. So is trying to "cheaply mimic"my past forum words that are selectively picked out of my past discussions with others like "rum swizzle""yacht","Kobe beef","Guinness Stout" and others,then place in a trolls header post for not so honorable intentions.He calls me "funny"yet the trolls actions speak loudly and against him,not me.Mimicking me...that is not against the rules,but only shows a level of,shall I say indifference and stupidity. But my qualitative actions for years on GK put me FAR above others who's goal is to demean,belittle,slander my character and more.I have seen this time and time again,not just against me but against others.It should stop for sure. Again,good luck to all and its time I leave this thread for obvious reasons. So,its not me talking "trash"or talking "funny",but it is ME that EXPOSES those directly or indirectly to others so that they become aware.My friends support me in those forums and always will.But the troll and troublemaker will NEVER gain respect or support,even if he has those quick one line sentences of "niceness" to "appear"nice,but underneath they are the truly disturbed or have an odd way of thinking far beyond the norm.Being here since 2005 has taugh me much and taught me WHO to stay clear of.So...if this is "funny"in the mind of a troll and agitator...then so be it!But it is not meant to be funny with me,only informative to my friends and future readers. Best all! Joe |

P.S. Man,if that is not a contradiction due to the fact he posted something recently but points the finger at me for posting things 15 years later....now THAT is indeed funny and ridiculous on HIS part.So,I post something 15 years later and he posts something 14.5 years later and that makes a difference?Now THAT is a funny remark coming from him!I add to the forums and it does not matter how old the posts are.But this is not "funny"unless the commentor on 9/26/25 looks at me and states that it is funny to post something 15 years later,yet HE posts only 5 months prior to me!That is the REAL definition of not only "funny"but ridiculous on the part of the poster above,not me. Now read my post above this one and others.That is to help out,not troll and not belittle someone like using the word..."funny"when it is not funny at all to be helpful to others in this thread and other threads.Unbelievable forms of nonsense that others can clearly see and that "nonsense" is not coming from me. Wow...I give up.People never learn. |

no have conversation with after 15 year!!!!! may be spend more time work on black piece chess game less time bother me! |
||

There is nothing wrong with bering back comments and adding to comments from 15 years ago. So now you and someone else sets a time limit on posting?Ridiculous!I am a much stronger player than you and also support GK financially,you do not as a free member.My rating is hundreds of rating points above yours.yet you try and tell me that I am weak because I do not play enough black on GK?Total absurdity!So no,its not me,but it is you. It is me that has played "black"thousands of times and do not have to prove anything here on GK.I do not "need"at my rating to work on black pieces.I have already done that long before you were born.So,by persistently talking trash about "black pieces"and against ME is a "bother"and an insult.It is not ME bothing you,it is YOU bothering ME and others. Lord shiva and others know this,so stop your nonsense chat and thinking that something is wrong by bringing to life old posts. |

But that ok,right?I could say the same thing and claim...well he not playing enough white,so he "weak".But see,I do not do that trash talk ...like you. |

we could be friends one day as long as you begin to think differently and show a bit more respect towards someone like me who wants to bring some old posts back to life again.You yourself have already commented on very old posts when you see I have,so stop contradicting yourself about me posting in old posts.You do it too.And no,there is nothing wrong or a sign of weakness because I have not played enough black on GK.I am a member of many other chess sites including the USCF and have played thousands of black games for decades.Just because you do not see it here,is not a sign of weakness or that I need work on black pieces.In the blitz room here,I play black all the time.So,stop this nonsense about black pieces,copying my words like rum swizzle and yacht or trying to make me look bad.You could learn much from me but refuse to learn from me,only go into my old threads(like this one only 5 months ago)just to differ against me for no good reason,except....trolling and causing friction.My friends on GK like I mentioned above told you many times to stop and you still go on with not so smart remarks all the time. |

By the way,this 15 year old thread was started by me,no one else,so it is my "right"to reenergize my own thread and add more comments to it.What part of that do you not comprehend? I have been many handle names and different accounts from steamroller,tactical abyss,deeper insight,the 6th dimention and other account names.Have you checked those games?Many black games,but hard to find.So,as to black,I have played hundreds on GK and other sites.So stop trying to infer that I need to work on anything.But YOU need to work on proper GK etiquette,stop trolling like lord shiva TOLD you recently in those other threads and much more.So who is bothering who here?Not me...its you.When you learn this and stop it,then I will stop and not before. Best, Joe |
