More than half of the people that have posted in this thread have been removed. Sportsman9', pelly, philo, etc.. You still find traces of some postings as quotes but has die endlösung started or something?
Can we stop discriminating "Off-Topic"?

Dear, itude, i do not believe that anything offensive can be made of my phrase. The term "endlösung" is widely known as the policy that the nazis construed to destroy the jewish race. 6 million jews were killed out of the 16 mio that were alive at the start of ww2.
I am not going to count, but 6 out of 16 does not seem very far from the number of people that posted in this thread and whose postings have disappeared.

And chess.com could make the forumfeed adjustable for personal taste. E.g.: do not show threads from a certain subforum or that people can checkbox a thread to not show in the feed. You can also seperate it: standard feed and personal feed.
We could take your suggestions further: why not let each member choose not to see postings from certain "annoying" individuals. Initially we would all see all published posts in the forums, but each of us could at any time "unsubscribe" from any individuals we find offensive (but those individuals' posts would still be visible to everyone else). We would each have a private list of those people we don't want to hear from (no one would know they were on anybody's list). And of course this list could be edited at any time by its owner, allowing us to remove individuals from the list, and give them another chance to post responsibly.
I've suggested this scheme twice before, and received absolutely no response. I don't know if this means that my suggestion is unwelcome or difficult to understand. Or maybe there are not many members who actually object to the excessive trolling that goes on in the forums.
This "unsubscribe" system seems like a win-win-win situation to me.
1) Posters would have more freedom of expression since they would have less fear of complaints -- unreceptive readers would quietly unsubscribe instead of further poluting the threads by complaining and arguing (but there would still be filtering of spam and obscenities by a reduced team of mods).
2) Members reading the forums could, with a single click, prevent future posts from specific annoying members in their own personal forum feed (but those "unsubscribed" individuals would still appear everyone else's forum view that had not restricted them).
3) And finally, chess.com would need to perform drastically less monitoring and intervention in the forums by making each member the main moderator of his/her personal forum experience.
