Age restrictions should be enforced by chess.com

They have the reasons for reporting, if it is not as extreme as those reasons you shouldn't file a report and if it doesn't violate the comm policies then you shouldn't report

i agree there is a lot of abuse of the block function, there should be a good reason. and a lot of reports about silly things.

Hello

Hello Teacher. As a young and maturing student of a coach I respect you standing out for your student, because many teachers are hired just for a cheap buck. I have faced this problem countless times before and I have developed some type of resistance to this trash talk. As a kid however I would often engage in this conversations. I would highly recommend you to make a complain to the official chess.com moderation team or either just considering turning off the chat. I hope the child is able to recover from this past expirence and also I would prefer lichess if this continues, or chess com kid if possible, whatever works for you. Much love.

Hey teacher, leave those kids alone

That's so offensive. I'm a scaredy bunny

No clue who is facing mockings in in game chat, considering i started playing online being a 900, all the opponents had respect and not one of them mocked my moves, most were very nice and accepted draws when i mouseslipped. Maybe this is happening at lower elo's, i have never experienced this though

you insulted a player by asking for a draw because you mouse slipped?

no respect at all.

You 0layed 0 games on here, maybe keep out of this

Calling someone a 'scaredy cat' online can constitute emotional abuse because it targets a person's self-esteem, uses shame to manipulate behavior, and contributes to a toxic digital environment.

While "scaredy cat" may seem like a harmless or childish insult, in the context of online communication, especially when used repeatedly or in public forums, it can be a tool for belittling, mocking, and shaming someone for expressing fear or caution. This kind of labeling can:

-Undermine a person's confidence or sense of safety in expressing themselves.
-Pressure them into doing things they’re uncomfortable with just to avoid ridicule.
-Be especially harmful to children or sensitive individuals, where the cumulative impact of "small" insults contributes to long-term emotional distress.
Just because a term is socially normalized doesn’t mean it can’t be abusive — emotional abuse often hides behind "jokes" or so-called harmless teasing.

Im just not a baby about other people calling me names

Just like how you find it offensive to be called a scaredy cat, my friend also felt the same way. And if you all still don't understand. then you should try to put yourself in someone's shoes and not be an arrogant person

Sensitive individuals and the people you are talking about shouldn't be on chess.com, it's obvious and a basic thing you shouldn't do if you're sensitivee or have a mental disability

Yes but,NOT EVERYONE IS THE SAME AS YOU. There are people across the world who find this sensitive.

But are they asking for it? No. Its the other person behind the screen whos responsible, not them

senisitive individuals SHOULDN'T BE ON CHESS.COM IN THE FIRST PLACE

Theyll survive. Its not like ill call em names. Every1 who calls sm1 else names has a lower self esteem which us why i dont take them seriously, every1 else should to

Also true

they know that you can chat on chess.com and people can say things, it's like saying that it's the governments fault that a hurricane hit your state
