Here's an idea to throw out there... maybe it could be a test for just beta users at first...

So I know that chess.com does not approve of inappropriate behavior especially because it may offend someone. Also I know that we're all here to have fun and play chess so people should be able to speak their mind. I propose that like many other video games, chess.com could have a filter for language and if players come up on the filtered list a certain number of times (let's just arbitrarily say 100 times a month) it would save the phrases for review by a team and discern whether or not a person is being hateful towards other players. Just an idea. I know you can block people but that only works after you played them once (if you get badmouthed once the game ends because they have issues).

Bans just make them make a new account. Honestly they just need to find a way to remove their chat privileges. This way they can still play they just loose the privilege of chat. Just had a long post about this no long ago. They seem to be fairly quite on doing anything about it.

I mean doesn't losing chat privileges compel people to do the same thing?

A lot less likely and if they do they loose their rankings and as soon as they run their mouth again they get another ban. Being automated it creates no more work than to set up the system in the first place. After that all they are doing is wasting their time and it will massively reduce the problem. Sorry but the argument that it will not completely solve the problem does not mean you should ignore it and allow it to be worse.

So I can't understand if you are for using a system that filters everything or not... are you just saying making it kid friendly entirely and ban all types of words that should be banned?
