I was playing a five minute game and my opponent dropped a Bishop a minute into the game then just sat there and didn't move. With about 20 seconds left I asked him why he was being a sore ass loser and a banning threat came up. Is there a place to see what is acceptable or not? I don't think asking someone why they are being a sore ass loser is over the top.

The word a-- is on the ban list.Filters caught it and sent you an auto message

i wouldn't fret it too much, but i'd be careful about using the word ass anywhere in live chess.

What's with the ass stuff lately ?

Thanks ilikeflags. I guess I was just venting. I won't use it anymore. I've been playing here for years but never seen such a warning. Tells you how much I curse. I never thought I'd be censored over the word a-- though.

It's not just A words, a friend of mine joked about the Austrailian beer xxx & got the golden boot from Live Chess, eh eh eh, da a way to a go, yo!

You might say that the filter is a little anal retentive.

 hahahaha.....Nice!

wouldn't that be anal expulsive? -- an equally charming proclivity

I said oh shitake mushrooms and got a ban warning

what if your swearing but playing against a good friend? I do this occasionally and have never had a warning. Does the filter take into account the fact that you are talking to a friend (who wouldn't be offended)?

I have said the elusive F word when playing a friend and didn't get any warning for it  it was an absolute accident mind because I had just hung my queen 

Elusive?  It's always handy when I need it.

I was playing live chess though. A 5 min game. Maybe that's the difference.

So was I I was playing a 3 minute live game

There is an auto mod which has a list of obscenities that will result in auto warnings, mutes, kicks etc. depending on severity and consistency.

Private chat is not moderated, so whatever is said in there has no penalty; however that feature is not enabled at this time; hopefully will be back up when some of the kinks are fixed.

Go start a game then say sore ass loser to the other guy and see if it works. Let me know. Thanks. hehe

I have never said ass in live chess but I did get booted for xxx yet saying the F word not even a warning?
