Why is there no easy way to report offensive and hateful players?

oh boy.

everytime NKT73 shows up I just want to praise the lord,

saysing Honors to Sweet Mary, Dear Jesus,  my REAL Mother,  xxx xxx* and my sisters (xxx xxx*) and (xxx xxx*) and my 17.5 half brothers. 

"Chua Me O" is confusing.  Did you mean? xin chào mèo của tôi

and if so.

you poor dear, being called a "cat"!

other than that. God willing. May I learn to translate you correctly

*= if you think I'm going to name my Real mom and 2 sisters (and 17.5 half brothers) on the open forum your nuttier than NK is ...

Don't bait a troll... if something offends you, take a screenshot and send it to the chess.com support staff

not offended.

a limited and superficial reading of a certain members' post had indicated that they might actually be vietnamese.  (and admittedly 'he' could just be a pimply faced kid laughing his arse off).

so... I was curious.  "chao meo" does not translate well at all.

also if one can't find a little humor in the wacky things people say around here, I don't know why the heck you would even read.

wow! you Are good!!

my version of google translate says

Chúa Giêsu! Mẹ THIÊN CHÚA! Tôi kêu gọi các bạn đã giúp đỡ. Cảm ơn bạn

perhaps its all in the dipthongs.  good talkin' at you.

Staff will say block the chat or ignore the user... even on those with paid accounts. :/ But sometiems reporting can be followed by warning/account closed so give it a try.

Life is too short and jerks are too many to care and be upset. But sometimes you can just simply reply with trash talk/insults or you move away and report. There are even title players on forums who post garbage but nobody punish them...

when it started I thought it was the usual stupid thread of a whiner, then I saw a spark of sense, and I thought the thread may turn out to be somewhat constructive. I went to work now I'm back and I find 2 pages of... well I don't know. someone is trolling someone has got too worked up and more likely someone has not even clue about what he's speaking about.

- the misuse of the chat is a problem

- saying that a problem is not a problem is both bad and wrong.

- if you find someone who insult you in the chat just you can just

  a:  turn off the chat

  b: ignore him (or the multiple draw requests if you like) (or the fact that once he's lost he won't come back to play and will let you wait until the time run out)

  c: make fun of out of it (one time  someone confused me for a woman and harrassed me sexually and I sayd him that yes I was a whore, yes my habits were... yes... but no I wasn't interested in him sorry... in the end he even sent me a friend request lol...)

 d: if you think he's really gone over the board report him. 

anyway keep in mind that this people is more likely somekind of underachiever who's using the chat to vent out his own frustration telling you things he will never have the guts to tell you in the face... when you get too much worked up with them you also should reconsider your self because it may really be the case that it's a waste of your time. 

last if nothing work change site because if the problem exist elsewhere it sure doesn't have the size that it has here. Moreover stupid comments and trolls have a negative impact on the perception of the sites, therefore more and more sites are disabling the comments.

P.S.: I really thought that somenthign good may come out of this thread, but I was so wron that I feel stupid now. I untrack the comments and goodbay to all.

Not at all. I think of schadenfreude more as when someone gets in trouble for something entirely unrelated to the original offense.

I did enjoy the games I had with this player though. They suffer from what I call "Live Chess Tourette's":

I enjoy Schadenfreude!
