I wonder how many times the *kids* on ChessKids get muted?
erik, we are frustrated
Sort:
Do they chat boxes in games?
Or are they not even allowed to speak?

I've never seen more than the homepage. It was my understanding you couldn't interact with your opponent at all. That way the kids are safe from all sorts of nonsense that can happen online.
So no playground activities at all, just throw them on the bus and send them here,curious.

I have no idea what "send them here" means.
Ostensibly chesskids.com was where the kids would be corralled (well, maybe that was me being optimistic).
More likely it was just a marketing gimmick, because obviously they've never removed someone from chess.com for being too young (even though you agree that you're at least 13 or something).
Is there not an upper age limit?

this is the type of dumba$$ response that festers what is happening. as i wrote to another dumba$$, you might change your tune if you were muted for posting normally. consider if you posted and then were muted, spider.
the fact that i need to use dollar signs to avoid another mute is crazy.
i will repeat, isn't there a kid site? that cc advertised for about a year? when i am automuted for not following community guidelines, i wonder, is cc making sure every account here is from one 18 years old?
XD, you are very amusing.
I got muted twice for posting normally before.
Once I tried to type "fake" in response to a dude faking statistics, but accidentally misspelled and left out the "e" behind, which made it look like I was trying to type the f-word, and I got muted.
Another time I was going on about pork and lard and stuff, and upset some religious people that can't eat pork, and got muted.
Just a very fun experience.
we obviously have different views on fun.

its a great pity, off topic used to be great, now it is festooned with low effort posts.
I agree, Robbie. Off-Topic by virtue of being the last and only resort has become little more than a catch-all. And that's indeed a sad result. I wish there was a separate place -with a nicer name than Trash Forum- to put the plethora of nonsense.. but without direction or clarification from the higher muckamucks, in order to keep these childish and non-chess theads off the main floor, that's the only current solution, as poor as it might be.
Btw, you are highlighted (somewhat) in my latest (non-chess) blog article.
Thank you for honouring this peasant farmer with a notable mention in said illustrious blog!

Just got temp automated again. No warning, no explanation, no nothing. Just silence. Well, that's a mute for you.

Weird. I haven't had mutes like that before. No wonder people are upset.

Perhaps some other mod got jealous when the bunny praised @martin_stahl. Since no explanation was given, we'll just make up our own from now onwards.
Time for a new game thread - guess why I got automuted. This should be fun. 😬
Played to the tune of *Who let the bots out?*
See @batgirl, there's a difference between RJC posting a silly picture and referencing something absurd that really exists (Barbie Jeep racing) and a horde of 10 year olds spamming "quack" for 100+ posts.
I know you don't make the rules, but this **** is ridiculous. I can tell Erik has zero interest in the forums.
