You guys can check for yourself:

Harrassing emails.

You know It's a little wierd that in the two months I hosted this thread, I didn't get one single email complaining about anything.

And now after a few days, you are being subjected to email harrassment?

What do you think explains this difference?

I can't think of a reason for this difference.

I'm sure you know how easy it is to block any email address.

If any of these emails are from certain CG.com members, you might consider forwarding them to <Daniel Freeman>.

I think there are a few people at this website who should be banned permanently.

There are some people here who have already been banned permanently from literally dozens of other chess sites.

Email harrassment is well out of order, I think.

That woman in the US has just been convicted of "internet harrassment" in the case where she contributed to a young woman's suicide.

"E-bullying" is a very big area of concern.

Here in Korea, for example- there are two recent laws.

It's not legal to post any internet message from a Korea IP address using a sock account.

You have to register your <real identity> with the government in order to post anything from an IP address in this country on another website or chatsite that also has a Korean IP address.

Second, there are strict laws against Internet defamation of character.

Example- even some very prominent foreign websites like <youtube> voluntarily conform to Korean Internet law.

If I leave my <youtube> setting at default, it will list me as a South Korean resident, since the site can recognize I have a Korean IP address.

On this setting, I am physically blocked from posting comments on youtube. Period.

In order to post a comment, I have to manually change my youtube settings.

Of course, at the moment people can get around these laws in Korea by using a <TAP VPN> device to mask their real IP address- but even in that case, several major world websites have in fact installed "proxy blockers"--

<Megavideo, yukou, and Hulu> have installed "proxy blockers," and you cannot access them with any kind of proxy anymore.

Now those are streaming video websites- and the proxy blocking is done in the perceived economic self-interest of those sites- but the main point is that <any website> can very easily erect a proxy blocker. It's not at all obscure or difficult to do this.

For example, if you do a little research, you discover that the number one reason people use IP proxies- by far- is to regain access to chat rooms they've been banned from!!

HAHAHAHAAHAH

Yep it's true.

Obviously that hasn't been done at this website.

I have four socks-

jessicafischerqueen, Mrs. Alekhine, Insane Olde Batte, and everyone else.

But some chat sites have already banned the creation of multiple registrations- and enforced this ban with proxy blocking technology.

Of course you can still get around this by physically "moving your body" to another "physical address" and making a new account from a new location- but in order to post from there you'd have to actually go back to that location every time you wanted to post.

At any rate- most importantly=

Sorry to hear of this annoying new development, my dear <PP>.

DOH

I can't even read English words on a page.

AND I'M AN ENGLISH TEACHER.

Sorry <PP>!

Ok <robmtchl> that long message I wrote is for you.

But for you: break this code [QQRQ ZZRQ QQRVQ QQQZ ZRUQ] and you got me. Oh, the key can be found here:

But I must warn you the site is not always "up".

There is strong independently derived evidence, however, that he is in fact an amateur <cryptozoologist>.

Here he is out on a jaunt, in that capacity:

I'd have thought it was attempted fraud if he's selling them as the work of Fischer, so it would be great if anyone there could explain the situation to him.>

But then again, I'm kind of a tool.
