You are now chatting with Matt (member support)

 

Raptor Jesus: hello Matt
Matt: Hello, this is Matt with Chess.com, how may I help you?
Raptor Jesus: My account was closed unexpectedly
Raptor Jesus: I was wondering whether or not it would be possible to discover why
Matt: yes
Raptor Jesus: ok
Matt: first of all your location is listed as “FUCKING, Bahrain”
Raptor Jesus: yes
Matt: this is not appropriate language for the site!
Raptor Jesus: I did not see any indications of specifically banned language in the sign up
Matt: then you posted some very inappropriate religious photos
Matt: and the username “RaptorJesus” is not appropriate for the site
Raptor Jesus: Matt
Raptor Jesus: I would suggest that including a disclaimer about language
Raptor Jesus: would prevent this sort of thing
Raptor Jesus: as it stands I was under the impression that I could create my account as I saw fit
Raptor Jesus: I changed over to chess.com from another online chess site at the behest of some very good christian friends of mine
Raptor Jesus: is this a christian site?
Matt: “You also agree to: (a) provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the Service’s registration form and (b) maintain and promptly update the Registration Data to keep it true, accurate, current and complete.”
Matt: this would not fit with “FUCKING, Bahrain”
Raptor Jesus: we would have to talk about what ” accurate ” means
Raptor Jesus: additionally, you would only have needed to send me a message to this effect
Raptor Jesus: and I would have looked into making the changes you need
Raptor Jesus: indeed, I would simply have changed that to my actual home town
Raptor Jesus: in Austria
Raptor Jesus: hello Matt are you there?
Raptor Jesus: I would like to resolve this as soon as possible
Matt: You agree to not use the Service to: 1. upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available any Content that is unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, libelous, invasive of another’s privacy, hateful, or racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable;
Raptor Jesus: I don’t believe religious is in that list
Matt: the photos which you posted with raptor and jesus are very objectionable, especially for a chess website!
Raptor Jesus: and I don’t feel that any of the material was unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, libellous, etc
Raptor Jesus: they are not of raptor and jesus
Raptor Jesus: they are of RaptorJesus
Matt: “Chess.com and its designees shall have the right to remove any Content that violates the TOS or is otherwise objectionable.”
Raptor Jesus: who is a fictional middle eastern character that I created and identify with
Raptor Jesus: absolutely
Raptor Jesus: I agree 100%
Raptor Jesus: as I said, all that was needed was an email to that effect
Matt: and we chose to remove the content which you posted
Raptor Jesus: no
Raptor Jesus: you closed my account
Raptor Jesus: removing the content would be rather different
Raptor Jesus: you could have very easily stripped the images
Raptor Jesus: and asked me to update my location
Matt: well we could not have the word “FUCKING” on your profile just stting there waiting for it to be removed
Raptor Jesus: why not
Raptor Jesus: I am from Fucking Austria
Matt: so we have totally closed your account until you contacted us
Matt: are you serious?
Raptor Jesus: Yes I am
Matt: this language is not appropriate for the site
Raptor Jesus: it’s a town
Raptor Jesus: in Austria
Raptor Jesus: there is really nothing objectionable about it
Raptor Jesus: should they stop listing us in the encyclopaedia as well?
Raptor Jesus: are you banning my town from the site?
Matt: No
Raptor Jesus: thank you
Raptor Jesus: I appreciate that
Matt: however, it would be better if you could list it as just “Austria”?
Raptor Jesus: I may as well say Europe in that case
Raptor Jesus: I think all should be equally able to list their towns no?
Matt: if you would like
Raptor Jesus: I will make the changes asap
Raptor Jesus: if you would be kind enough to reopen my account
Raptor Jesus: I will not post any images of my chosen leader
Raptor Jesus: and I will keep my contact information current
Raptor Jesus: I would like to play some chess
Matt: Ok, I can re-open for your account…
Raptor Jesus: thank you
Matt: however
Matt: can you please remove “fucking” even though it is the name of your town
Raptor Jesus: I think that is unfair of you
Matt: in the english language this word is very offensive and we have received many complaints
Raptor Jesus: I can understand if it was just the word
Raptor Jesus: but don’t you think that your members will understand
Raptor Jesus: that it is a city
Raptor Jesus: in Austria?
Raptor Jesus: and they need not be offended ?
Matt: No
Raptor Jesus: that is terrible, are they really such fascists?
Matt: we have younger members who should not see words like this on the site
Raptor Jesus: I had no idea most people were so narrow minded
Raptor Jesus: they should stay out of the atlas then
Matt: unfortunately we will need this removed
Raptor Jesus: yes?
Raptor Jesus: this is a TOWN name, available in any record of geography
Matt: Well unfortunately this is the case
Raptor Jesus: if I spell it differntely?
Matt: and we have decided that despite it being your town that it should not be included on the site
Raptor Jesus: Fuking, Phucking, Fahking ?
Raptor Jesus: f—king?
Raptor Jesus: f——g?
Raptor Jesus: f-c-i-g ?
Raptor Jesus: Unmentionable Austria
Raptor Jesus: ?
Raptor Jesus: !CENSORED! Austria
Matt: well this website is not in Austria
Matt: and we cannot have language like this on our site
Raptor Jesus: it is on earth though yes?
Raptor Jesus: are any of the substitutes acceptable?
Matt: we have decided to close your account “RaptorJesus” as the username is not appropriate as we have had complaints that it is religiously offensive
Raptor Jesus: my name is Jesus
Raptor Jesus: I have a Spanish mother
Raptor Jesus: this is bizarre!!
Raptor Jesus: Why can I not add raptor to my first name!!
Raptor Jesus: ?
Matt: you can create a new account with another username if you would like but if you decide to add “fucking” and discuss the “RaptorJesus” figure on the site again we will have to close your account again
Raptor Jesus: !!?
Raptor Jesus: My name
Raptor Jesus: my first name
Raptor Jesus: is not ok with you?
Raptor Jesus: unreal
Matt: that is your name?
Raptor Jesus: yes matt
Matt: Raptor first name and Jesus last name?
Raptor Jesus: My christian name is Jesus
Raptor Jesus: I added raptor to it out of fun
Raptor Jesus: The pictures are fun for me as well
Raptor Jesus: since they are a parody of my name and favourite dinosaur
Matt: “As an avatar of Jesus Christ with the physical attributes of a theropoda dromaeosauridae I live a complex and exciting life. Most of my time is spent devouring homeless people hunting errant children and mutilating pets who have escaped their yards. I enjoy smoked eel when I can get it, mentholated snuff, talking parrots, and I love Japanese game shows. When I am not out hunting or watching Japanese game shows I spend my time huddled in a cave in the woods waiting for nightfall as I am staunchly crepuscular. In short, stay out of the woods at night least you be subjected to the rigors of my digestive tract.”
Matt: surely that is not appropriate
Raptor Jesus: yes
Raptor Jesus: that is your opinion
Raptor Jesus: I enjoy the writing
Raptor Jesus: what is not appropriate?
Raptor Jesus: That I devour things?
Raptor Jesus: That I enjoy snuff?
Matt: and as said before “Chess.com and its designees shall have the right to remove any Content that violates the TOS or is otherwise objectionable.”
Raptor Jesus: that is fine
Raptor Jesus: but what could possibly be objectionable about that paragraph?
Raptor Jesus: and are you saying you find my Name to be objectionable?
Matt: Sorry, but we have decided that the account will not be re-opened
Raptor Jesus: because that borders on racism
Raptor Jesus: this is racist of you
Raptor Jesus: Jesus is the name of MILLIONS of Spanish and Mexicans around the world
Raptor Jesus: you have no right to restrict me based on that
Raptor Jesus: I would like to play chess
Raptor Jesus: or at least finish my games

Raptor Jesus: please reinstate me

Raptor Jesus: please show me that chess.com is not a bastion of racism and fundamental chrisitanity
Matt: But obviously you were making religious jokes with the pictures you added which were very OFFENSIVE for many people
Raptor Jesus: your policy of restricting Spanish people with the name of Jesus from playing is unfair
Raptor Jesus: no I was not
Raptor Jesus: they are a parody of my name
Raptor Jesus: and my most loved dino
Raptor Jesus: that is all
Raptor Jesus: I am not ANTI anything
Raptor Jesus: I am sorry I offended any
Raptor Jesus: it was in fun
Matt: you can create another account with “Jesus” in the username but do not make a joke about a dinosaur jesus getting crucified
Raptor Jesus: I did not realize
Raptor Jesus: I am raptor jesus
Raptor Jesus: this is my chess name
Raptor Jesus: it is how I play
Matt: well, it offended many users and the account will stay closed
Raptor Jesus: You are racists and fundamentalists, is your last name Phelps?
Raptor Jesus: you appal me
Raptor Jesus: I have made every effort
Matt: you can create another username if you are not here to cause trouble
Raptor Jesus: I AM HERE TO PLAY CHESS
Raptor Jesus: look at my message logs
Raptor Jesus: I do not post
Raptor Jesus: I do not message
Raptor Jesus: I play chess

Raptor Jesus: and gorge on the intestines of my defeated enemies
Raptor Jesus: that is all
Raptor Jesus: I am RaptorJesus
Raptor Jesus: why do you think I am trouble?
Raptor Jesus: this is bizarre
Raptor Jesus: my behaviour is exemplar
Raptor Jesus: you just do not share my sense of humour
Matt: sorry, but humor about Jesus christ on the site will not be tolerated
Raptor Jesus: humour about what christ
Raptor Jesus: I have never talked about your precious christ mr.phelps
Raptor Jesus: ok, remove the images
Raptor Jesus: do not repost
Raptor Jesus: no problem
Raptor Jesus: done
Matt: “As an avatar of Jesus Christ with the physical attributes…”
Matt: you have not talked about him?
Raptor Jesus: do you know what avatar means?
Raptor Jesus: that is in my profile
Raptor Jesus: would you like to have a theological discussion?
Raptor Jesus: about the occurrence of the lord in all?
Raptor Jesus: have you read Spinoza?
Raptor Jesus: we are all manifestations of the one
Raptor Jesus: all avatars of jesus
Raptor Jesus: of Allah
Raptor Jesus: of Vishnu
Raptor Jesus: ripples on an ocean
Raptor Jesus: my particular avatar is a raptor
Matt: ok, but this is a chess website not a religious website
Raptor Jesus: indeed
Raptor Jesus: which is why this surprises me
Raptor Jesus: it should be a non issue
Raptor Jesus: but If you like, I will delete that
Matt: Sorry, but we have decided to keep the account closed. Bye
Raptor Jesus: may you become a wandering homeless person you racist
