That sounds kinda like what I posted on chess.com ...hmmm.

Yep, that scam where they don't ask for any money...

This is harmful paranoia in action.

Thank goodness we have you to protect beginners from getting free coaching.

When all else fails, complain about complaining about complaining about downvoting.

Absolutely. Well we wish you luck as free coaching is a generous offer and is appreciated by the community.
@Wolf_Plays_Chess That darkness dude was being kind of rude to you (and apparently reported you on chess.com for fraudulent behavior fyi) so I was demonstrating that you were, in fact, a very positive influence on the community and his comments were unwarranted. I appreciate what you do man, and I respect the hell out of you. If we all help each other the game improves and so does the community
