Why isn't spicycaterpillar on the top of the leaderboard?

He got 58, why isn't he on top?

jdcannon

He is  

 

But the long version is that this account was an anonymous account of Ray Robson and we don't allow anon accounts on leaderboards. Ray agreed to go public with the account so we put it back up.

Could you clarify this rule for daily and hourly leaderboards? Say I'm on the hourly leaderboard and I'm anonymous, would Chess.com remove my record?

Isn't everyone on leaderboard, technically? Shouldn't you remove my record, since you don't know who I am?

 

Are you a high profile titled player in disguise?

whitebluebird

No, but I do get on the hourly leaderboard sometimes. Since I'm anon, why do I still get on the leaderboard?

jdcannon

I can remove you if you like.

 

The idea is to not have high profile titled players getting on leaderboards from anonymous accounts.  it doesn't apply to the rest of us mortal chess players.

I see GM BabeGroot on the leaderboard, but there's no name in his/her profile.

Is the rule actually being enforced?

On the all time leaderboard of PR there are 5 players who don't have names on their accounts.

Ha! So funny! :)

Nice investigation. Proof that Chess.com took down spicy not because they actually want to enforce their rule consistently and fairly to all players.

Either be consistent in enforcing a rule, or don't enforce it at all. This is ridiculous. You only enforced this "rule" (that you made up after) because Hikaru was salty. Just admit that you pandered to him.
