A Call for Normalcy: Let’s Keep Chess Weird-Free and Fun!

Hey fellow chess enthusiasts, I’ve been noticing some odd behavior across forums, chats, and game interactions lately, and I think it’s worth addressing. Chess has been around for centuries, bringing together people from all walks of life, united by our love for the game. But lately, it seems like things are getting… well, a little weird.

Whether it’s trolling, spamming memes unrelated to chess, or behavior that feels less about chess and more about chaos, it’s important to remember why we’re all here—to enjoy and improve at the game we love. Let’s keep this community welcoming, focused, and a little less… wild.

This isn’t about stifling creativity or fun, but about finding that balance between healthy banter and behavior that might discourage others from participating. So, here’s a friendly suggestion:

• Let’s keep the conversations relevant to chess or respectful humor.
• If you see someone acting inappropriately, kindly remind them of the rules or report the behavior.
• Most importantly, let’s support each other’s growth and enjoyment of the game.

Chess thrives when its community thrives, and together we can keep this space one of positivity, sportsmanship, and passion. What are your thoughts? Let’s discuss below—respectfully, of course!

*respectfully says that normalcy is boring*

Then just don't join rps or gc or clubs that are weird. And yeah being normal is boring to us. Also technically there is no normal everyone is different in different ways.
