No games played for over 4 years. Throwaway account. Let me guess, you got muted once for no reason and now resent the site and just come here to troll it? lol While playing matches on your dozens of other accounts?
Cool out Sherlock. Ron's been with us since forever. He's the resident muppet.
is everyone a mod now?

He is here to prove Martin wrong. Martin take note, you breeded him and he's been trolling the forums for 4 years. Do you find his pic offensive? Is that the environment you want? I bet 4 years ago he would of never done such a thing. Then he got muted for no reason one day. lmao... I have too much pride in my account to risk getting banned. I've never made an alt in a gaming community in all my life. Its dishonest.
Where did the alt discussion start? Ron had always been Ron. Martin bred Ron?
Your profile says "Chess.com is an authoritarian regime". Guessing that's a joke?

Have you been reading this thread? Oh I just noticed your account is only a couple weeks old. Surprised Martin? This is what you are breeding. You talk about the childrens site. But you have made this the childrens site. lol
And your account is 9-10 months old. Also you talk about Martin breeding and children.
Don't know what's happening man but maybe you two better get a room

A lot of these words that are so "offensive" and people are muted for them, aren't abusive. When you can be muted for mentioning a lady dog or an author's name, that is not correct. They aren't offensive words, either deliberately or mistakenly; and so much as I totally hate to say it, Mr C may be right. Afer all, it's just a matter of policy and in this case, it seems mistaken. Your side can rethink and then, amazingly, we will find that you have been right all along!
Just because a word had innocent uses doesn't mean it isn't often used in abusive ways. Being a chess site, your example word is very unlikely to be used in a less offensive way for most members anyway.

This flagrant abuse of a mixture of automated features along with a blatant laziness when it comes to solve user's problems can only lead to an amputation of vocabulary in languages, especially English language.
It's not an abuse or lazy unless you quantify how much abuse it stops vs how much legitimate usage it stops.
Hint: 99.99% of usage is bad, and automatically policing hundreds of thousands of people in real time is not lazy, it's the only practical way.
Mutes resolve themselves (they're short and temporary) and then the user knows not to repeat those words, so is able to avoid future mutes.
There are a few arguments against the way chess.com filters and mutes function, but I'm not seeing them in this topic.

Also, I have shocking news for (apparently) most people here... this is how all laws and policies work in the real world i.e. in a small fraction of cases they're simply incorrect, but we put up with them because it's an efficient way to create order.

That's not my point, and I know how division works, I'm older than 10, thanks.
It makes sense as a policy. Your arguments against it are silly, I don't have much else to say.

You might always try one and I'll see what I think of it.
For example, one problem with the auto filter and mute system is some users are allowed to post any word, and then when you quote them you can be flagged for a bad word in your post even though you didn't type the word yourself.

That's not your point? But you replied to my post, so, I can pick what ever flaw in your reply, and point it out.
And no, it makes no sense at all what you say, it's you who's silly, when you decide to ignore the mere fact, many words are used way under 0.01% of all what is written.
Yes, words have multiple meanings. Congratulations

This proves an "unflag" button would be very usefull and avoid many auto mutes.
I'm sure that sounds nice to you, personally, but there's the small problem of you're not the only person on this website, and hiring __# of full time employees to review such button presses would be stupid.

You're again in your imaginary numbers and stats.
How many people do you think are on this website right now?

I'll give you a hint:
There are ~120k in the live server, and about 25% of them are idle (not playing a game).
Let's say there are another 10k who are browsing other areas (news, blogs, articles, etc all of which also have comment sections).
This is too many people to manually review language usage. The ONLY SENSIBLE option is to have an automated system, which is beneficial to everyone since nearly 100% of uses of b-!-t-c-h (for example) will be abusive.

Millions. Most don’t have the bad habits to use the offending a,b,c,d,f,s words. Just talk nicely. It’s easy to do.
There may be millions of members in total, but the number of people online at any given time is only 6 digits.

Most of them don’t talk. Most are kids.
It wouldn't take many people to require you to hire a person who does nothing but review text from Melvin's proposed button all day.
If someone works 8 hours in a day, that's only 480 minutes. Out of 100,000 people it's not hard to imagine a few 100 use inappropriate language.

I used the said word and was muted for a day, which leads me to think that your guess of "nearly 100%" won't be correct.
That doesn't make sense so I don't know what to say.
You were muted, therefore most uses of b---- are not abusive.
Makes no sense.

Perhaps you are not a logician?
Let me ask you something buddy... do you have a doghouse?
Have you heard of Norm Macdonald?

If you're serious that you don't understand what I meant, firstly most people in my culture (the UK) would understand what I was saying. Next, if you genuinely don't understand it, then the procedure is to try to make it work, since you should assume that the other person is making sense (unless it's obviously wrong) and you simply didn't get it. To do that, question your own assumptions which you may have made and which threw you off track.
Yeah, but... I'm very sleep right now, somewhat cranky, and generally have a very low opinion of everyone who isn't me so... it's probably not easy to get along with me at the moment. I'm simultaneously taking things seriously and being flippant.
Maybe he never liked the bunny.
