Bro this chat in chess.com is getting out of hand.I faced racism by a player just because im Indian I have reported him and he should get banned for racism . Like these trash talkers even message racist comments in my message box because I am an Indian . Chess.con should immediately ban such type of players who spread hate for absolutely no reason. Do you guys have any tips for these types of people ? Please share with me ! :tup :tup

I get insulted cause I'm American 🫤

I get insulted because i'm western in general

They insult you on anything but that's just the internet

I dont understand how this is such a common problem never one time have I experienced an iota of verbal abuse during a game whenever my opponent wants to chat I let them chat and I have never gotten anything negative ever.

What you should do is focus on beating them if they are trash taking they are wasting time and then troll them after if you win

I report all obviously racist comments, it is unacceptable and wrong. Just keep reporting!

Often during my blitz games I get a notification "your opponent wants to chat", accept or decline.

Up until recently I always declined, but I decided out of curiosity to see what people were saying to me.

I wish I had not looked.

I am shocked by the amount of verbal abuse on chess.com, it is absolutely off the charts. Everything ranging from personal attacks and insults when I blunder, and then to being called a computer cheater when I play a really strong move. Profanity and trash talk seems to be totally out of control.

Surely I cannot be the only one having this issue. We need to make this a peaceful and safe place for everything to play and enjoy chess.

Is there anything we can do to stop this??

Hahahahaha How is Verbal Abuse on Chess.com real Hahahaha bro Just dont open the chat like bro just close your eyes Haha

1. Don’t chat.
2. Report every case.

Just keep the chat off, permanently.

I've been playing online chess since the late 1990s, and I can tell you from experience: your online chess-playing life will be much more enjoyable once you learn to simply keep your chat disabled.

That guy [removed-jbf] called me loser twice after I won 2 games against him. I reported him, but it's just annoying.

I have to accept before I see a conversation. If it's someone of the same country I usually look at it because it might be someone I know from OTB, but other than that there's no point looking.
It's not like someone is going to tell you what a great move you played lol.

You beat him and he called you a loser??? I would just laugh.

Used to always get a “gg” after games years ago. I am currently boycotting all Americans because of the classless behaviour of a few, in addition to protesting their election of a moron for a president
