Good Sport rating

Sort:
CoranMoran

After every match, chess.com gives you the opportunity to label your opponent as a good sport or not a good sport.

Is there a way to see how others have voted for you?

My hope is that every player can see his own ratings so that those who are not behaving properly can see that they are not appreciated. This new information might help their self-awareness enough to improve their sportsmanship.

Please advise.

No, you can't see your rating.

Why?

Oh, well ... will Chess.com let Saint Peter share it with us at the Holy Gates?

I've been wondering about its use as well.

I think it's just a quick way to get the "block user" option or "say good game" option in just 1 click.

You mean 2 clicks? If the intent was to display those options after every game, they would not require you to answer the "good sport" question to see them.

i agree, your good sport rating should be public. 

ive had loads of people not resign , let the game run out of time for a few minutes etc. they get a thumbs down from me.

 

if your a muppet,,your friends and leaugue players should know about it.

but then because of the easy accessibility,  a troll can easily mess up if this rating becomes public. Say somebody gets mad they blundered, then they can just downvote even if their opponent had good sportsmanship. A new account could spam games and dislikes. If this system becomes something people value, this is the effect I fear that will happen.

If it is not valued, then why have it in the first place? What would you guess is the purpose of this function?

This is actually a great idea, chess.com should implement a sportsmanship rating system. I'm not sure how much time and effort this would take though.

I’d like to add some functions so accounts that are at least 3 days old can use this function. They can still play games etc., but they cannot vote so no mass multi-accounting.

There is one, or at least something tracked by the site, but just not something that can be seen

I believe if you are downvoted enough, you get put in a different pool of players, right?

From https://support.chess.com/article/338-how-does-game-abandonment-work though I don't know if downvotes in Play can cause a member to be put in the pool.

Making it public would cause a flood of extra work for the moderators because of the complaints that would start rolling in.  And vindictive losers giving a sportsmanship thumbs down out of spite.

I hit the thumbs down in error - can it be reversed?

No. Some accidental thumb down clicks aren't going to cause any issues.

Thanks good to know!

Is there even a point to answering the good sport question?

Not really.  It is the dumbest thing chess.com has.

My rule is as follows:

 

A) You abort?  I thumb-down you.

B) You gloat when you win a piece or berate me, thumb-down!

C) If A and B don't happen, I ignore it!  Never have I given a thumb up.  That is how stupid the system is!  This is a chess server with a chess forum.  Not a place to mingle and be like "Yea! You are a polite person that actually knows how to behave themselves!  Something that 95 percent of Millenials, Gen Z, and Gen Alpha are completely incapable of doing!"  (Sadly, this is a true statement, and talking in general, not chess players - you ever work with them?  They all seem to think the world owes them something!  And in the case of Gen Alpha, some of them need punishment like we got in the 70s and early 80s - A big spanking and being grounded - now that's practically child abuse - SMH!)
