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

do anything u want, reporting is for abuse and being called a scaredy cat isn't abuse

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.

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

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

Firstly, everyone has an equal right to being on this website. We are not shunning anyone based on whether they are sensitive or not. They came here to learn chess and practice, why should we limit them on the basis of that?
