Upvoting/Downvoting content on Chess.com
Members can upvote or downvote content such as comments, forum posts, and club notes, which helps improve the quality of discussions by making valuable content more visible and pushing down negative or unhelpful comments.
By allowing members to vote, we create a more positive and constructive environment where the best content stands out.
How to upvote or downvote comments
To upvote or downvote, simply click the up or down arrow in the upper-right corner of the post or comment.
Guidelines
Only logged-in members can vote. Guests, logged-out members, muted accounts, or non-activated accounts cannot.
You cannot upvote or downvote your own content.
You can change your vote at any time.
Each upvote adds +1 to the content's score, while each downvote subtracts -1.
Content with low scores may appear grayed out or, if the score is too low, may be hidden from view.
Important information
If you encounter abusive content (e.g., racism, sexism, or harassment), please report it directly to us. You can also downvote inappropriate content to help hide it.
We have systems in place to prevent abuse of the voting system and take
action against those who misuse it.
