Rudeness on chess.com

I’m new to this site but have played enough games to know there’s something different with regard to chat and messages. I do not initiate conversations but I have received multiple insults and abuse. I’ve reported them, but it’s not something I’ve encountered on another Chess site I’ve been on for nearly 12 years.

Have other players experienced this?

It's the reason I don't enable chat when playing.

same, I tend to get really angry when someone insults me, so I disabled the chat. These people just ruin the game for everyone

Yes quite a number of people seem to enjoy being rude on the internet, sad but true.

Especially when people are racist it's even worse

I have experienced some. I block them and report them The racists ones are the worst. I just don't get the point but this is true of the whole internet. I enjoy chatting while playing to get to know people but rudeness gets block, even if i need to forfeit the game.

I don’t think I would like my opponent to chat during a game, I would find it rather distracting, after the game is finished would be much better.

I think its funny

To avoid any rude comments from opponents, I disable chat mostly . Some opponents get really upset when they’ve lost a game, and start trash talking their opponents.

I’ve been on this site for a sometime now and have had the odd troll here and there. To be fair I get no messages during games and ppl just play. Peace and chess guys, enjoy the game win, lose or draw
