Should chess.com ban people that insult their partner after lost games?

What do you think?

no

I mean potentially but no

its not a nice thing to do, but no.  people should behave and treat each other with respect

i have played  several times when my partner trolls and regin in third move and i have many photos but i cant show you now. and i think that they sould be reported because of them i have lost ove 300 elo

I think they should be banned, insulting partners is a huge problem and this is the only way to enforce it.

not ban, but disable chat for them and keep only commands like need rook for like a week or two after report

Well they should ban after 3 or 4 times

I don't think they should ban even after 3-4 times, just but chat should be disabled for a longer time after each time. Like 1 week for the 1st time, 2 weeks after 3rd time and like 4 weeks after 4th time and etc. You don't want less people playing bughouse, you just want to remove toxic chats

Unfortunately I can tell form experience that if they block your chat, they block the commands too and playing bug becomes impossible.

Yeah that’s what I was thinking, and it’s what the super admins and admins do in my clubs for people who insult bughouse partners.

I think the problems is the qualification of what an insult is. I never use foul language, but did get banned. I do give recommendations what could have been done better (certain moves or actions or when to stall / play). I do not find that offensive and would gladly take that from a partner. Others may, apparently and sadly.

penalize for unsportsmanlike conduct one half hour without chess as punishment. With increases penalties for repeat offenders.

Great discussion.

Thanks everyone for working to keep bughouse civil here at chess.com!

No because how we react to things lessens over time. It's good to remember that chess players don't have to be better morally than other people. If we assign personality traits to an online stranger that they don't possess, more fool us.

I'd certainly screenshot it though and share it around xD

I have a young person in my house and how they talk to each other in online gaming is pretty shocking these days, and after discussing it I think some people have a skewed view of what is acceptable to people they don't know. They are the same guys that wouldn't like it on the side of the football field.

yeh but nah, moderation is not ideal

L.O.L. pretty big game, yeh they are all on discord. I could mention other online / in browser games that I have regularly gone to and yeh - 100 ways to be insulting or rude very unmoderated, one other one is in the top 5 games in teh world

It's worth remembering it's a bit of a Lord of the Flies situation, these kids have been left to their own devices quite literally, and the culture has grown from there. Autobots can't catch everything as language and its meaning evolves all the time.

That's a little extreme - even I've had bad days where I get upset at my partner after a particularly bad game

That doesn’t matter, the rules on chess.com are that you can’t insult people or be rude to them.

Yes well as the rules stand I got muted for 24hrs.

that worked fine - why should I be banned for that

Although I got muted for calling myself names after losing badly in a blitz game but my opponent took offence and reported for that one... I've yet to be in trouble in bughouse
