AI Thread Summary

The chess forum currently lacks a "report" button for users to flag spam or inappropriate content. A user encountered a spam message but was able to remove it manually. The absence of a reporting feature raises concerns about managing spam effectively. Implementing a report button is suggested as a potential solution to improve forum moderation. This enhancement could help maintain the quality of discussions in the chess community.

Unfortunately, work and life got in the way and I never got further the freshman courses. Well, here it is 20 years later. I'm in my mid-50s now, and in a...
