definitely need that as a feature
There is a name for people who treat a whole country as being the same based on the actions of individuals in those nations, it’s called racism, nothing more nothing less. How about we block black people, females or left handed people, how about we can ban people because their skin is darker then you? Let ban people who are poor or are Jewish, just pathetic discrimination! You do realise India and Indonesia combined make up 25% of the world’s population? Statistically, they should make up 25% of cheaters. Race, along with all other personal traits completely irrelevant to chess and are completely unwarranted. The great thing about chess is everyone is not only equal, but irrelevant, the pieces do the talking for us. I suggest you either man up and play everyone, or just resign when playing someone you are racist against!
They probably have to step up the moderation and cheat detector tbh. Blocking whole countries probably wont help the fact there are more cheaters. A lot of people can cheat so if you just block their country then you will have less acess to those who actually play fair

Play on 5 min or less. It's harder to cheat at these clocks.

i love the international feel of the games -- just would like the forgien flagged players to at least comment good or bad it doesn't matter all helps ,when they beat me instead of going mute-- i am sure there are translator programs that work here on chess.com i love a good rebuttal to the way i play keeps me playing here on chess.com

My last 10 opponents who cheated against me were from:
India, international flag, USA, Sweden, Turkey, China, Korea, Poland, Poland and Netherlands
I think it's pretty random
i agree...

And the fact is, those countries combined make well over half the world’s population, so statistically speaking they should be responsible for over half the cheaters

Locked topic.
Chess.com welcomes users of all ages, nationalities, races, disabilities, religions, genders and sexual orientation. Please respect other users.
Please be aware that a flag next to a user’s name does not mean that is where they are or originated. User’s can select whatever country they want in their user profile and the flag for that country will display next to their name.
Blocking users by their perceived or actual identity factors (such as country of residence or nationality) can be considered hateful and discriminatory. There are no plans to add such a feature.
