Just on principle I herewith demand you withdraw your asinine, and highly tailored, mandatory ignore-list regime.

It's utterly useless given stalking antics such as this:

P Wolff vs J A Rizzitano, 1984 (kibitz #9)

Either solve the problem or allow me to deal with it on my own terms.

Do you receive an error message when attempting to update your password? I was able to update my password without any issues>

Using a deliberately wrong old password:

<CHANGE YOUR CHESSGAMES PASSWORDERROR * That is not the correct password for this account.

Black go back and try again.>

Using the correct old password:

<CHANGE YOUR CHESSGAMES PASSWORDERROR * That is not the correct password for this account.

Black go back and try again.>

Typing in a new password that contains at least one extended ASCII character:

<403 Forbidden>

I don't think anybody would disagree with this, would they?>

As just said, "different strokes...".

<fredthebear> has a very valid point:

<Yet, like various other options on my paid account, the IT department has DISABLED my forum from public view without notice or reason. Other members cannot read my forum. Frankly, I could care less if anybody reads it, but it's my privilege as a paying member to have a functioning forum just like everyone else.>

Yeah, after paying ACTUAL MONEY and then accepting that vital functionalities - such as ChessBookie - do not work and accepting that I am getting b& for minor misdemeanors while <perfy> and his crooked brigade can flood and spam filth all over the site, at least I would like to be capable of editing and present my bio on my user page. Technically not the exact same problem as <fredthebear>'s, still, it is very-very bad!

Additionally, if I try to remove the <perfy>/<chrisowen>/<cormier> trio from my ignore list (note, I did not ever put them there, as my ignore list should be empty forever), I receive the following message:

<You are now mandated to ignore 'perfidious' due to known conflicts.If the problem continues, we will be forced to take further action.>

<delete all the crap please>, at Rogoff, is pure hypocrisy; the, ah, poster who bequeathed us this has openly proclaimed his intent to sully every loss by Magnus Carlsen with a jejune, otiose post of Seinfeldian content; that is to say, nothing at all.

Given the status of Rogoff as something of a free-fire zone, in which no quarter is either expected or given, I have neither blown the whistle nor intend to, but, same as another who flies by now and again over there to muddy the waters, this poster proposes to play prefect manque in matters of no concern to him.

You can't go back and delete recent posts. You have to switch to desktop, delete, then switch back to the mobile site. Clunky!>

<consultation games are periodically organized with teams of members playing either other teams of members or very strong masters> false: they are not organized at all for years now.

<Members can maintain their own discussion pages> false: my bio is not visible, and <fredthebear>'s forum section is sometimes visible, sometimes not.

<substantial growth in membership and interest, which has steadily increased since then due to other live events and many site enhancements> false: there are no enhancements.

<The site is currently being administered on an interim basis by a user with the handle "Sargon"> false: Sargon has left the site.

<has a Playing Zone for real-time play> false: there is no such function.

<The Opening Explorer helps study openings> false: it is barely usable.

<The ChessBookie Game is [...]> false: it ceased to exist - however, it is still reachable from the front page, displaying how utterly and absolutely unmaintained the site is.
