I agree with AdhvaithAjay. Ignoring the chat works for me, but for others it won't-especially with insane threats. Personally I think there should be a report system.

There is, its just not good enough

The site will mute members that are abusive in chat/notes, but will generally warn first. If the problem persists or is particularly bad, the will ban. However, they have to verify the behavior and see if the reported member is normally like that, and that can take some time; they don't ban for minor offenses or off one report.

why not 3 strikes your out for any sort of insult? People would learn pretty quick and it would make the site so much better for users.

Account closures are usually a last resort. A permanent mute is more likely with the exception of cases of more extreme abuse and those normally don't get any warnings or escalations.

well why not make them a first resort for any sort of insults? Just make it clear when someone creates a new account that the behavior will not be tolerated and that they only get 2 warnings before their account is deleted. It would make the site a lot better for users. Why is chess.com so lenient of abuse? Do you think that 2 warnings is not enough?

Even if they are trash talking you it is completely unacceptable

It's all relative and in some cases, the person filing the complaint is right, and in other cases, they need to grow a pair!

If a person threatens your parents and makes racial slurs and says you're a disgrace to God, then yes, they need to be muted.

If you are being told that you suck and weasel out like a little girl because you won't accept a rematch, said person needs to be warned. Nobody is under any obligation to play you a second time and should not be insulted for declining.

If you are whining because someone said "good game" when you played a horrible game, or simple stuff like "You just got dominated!", Or something like "zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz" when you started your turn with 2 minutes left and now you have 30 seconds and have stalled ever since in a position that is mate in 1 or 2, I have 3 words for you. GROW A PAIR!

what is gained by allowing people to insult each other? Is it more valuable than having a website where people don't insult you? It's not like it's a matter of free speech. Chess.com is a private business. They can decide if it's worth it for their users to have the right to be insulted.
