How do foulmouthed players get away with cursing on chess.com?

See there you go man you violated the terms of Service. good job.

Gentlemen. I do not wish to hear foul language here and I hope the nine year olds who come here will not hear it either (or be tolerated in using it for that matter).

The site exercises its own judgment as to how much foul language is too much and exactly how offensive language must be to justify expulsion. 

No doubt your greater broad mindedness does you credit.  But the proprietors have set their house rules and it behoves all that come here to abide by them.  As you indicate, for those who enjoy foul language the internet affords many other places where you/they can go and indulge your/their tastes.

But the problem is that the OP has already breach the term of service by nameing and shaming, is a no go here.

There is a seperate site for 9 year olds.

Yes, the mods normally enforce the no naming and shaming policy very strictly in the forums. I'm amazed one hasn't weighed in here yet.

if dr.spud finds out he can't talk about birds anymore, he's not gonna be happy.

Easy, like they do in comic strips; #*++&$, and furthermore, ^^%#@#*^ !

this is funny #*@%

This is a interesting question and thanks to the OP for starting this thread. Some people have mentioned the point in relation to Freedom of Speech which is a important question. However the policy against swearing or being hateful ( etc ) is the correct one IMHO. In my case I spent a couple of years at another site where there were no rules and a lot of the comments there were sickening, indeed to the point where a person reading them may have needed to go and throw-up. Since a lot people do not seem to have any manners and seemingly have not had a decent upbringing it is a good idea to have some rules in place. And anyone who does not agree can d---well go jump in the lake.   

It has been weighed in now. 

Freedom of speech doesn't apply on a private website.

It is a limition on the government's ability to restrict citizens' speech. On a private website, the owners pretty much have discretion to disallow what they choose.

CJ's right. Freedom of speech was primarily meant to protect political speech. Private parties, businesses, etc., can place whatever restrictions they like on behavior in their sites. I think property rights apply more than free speech in these instances.

I didn't write everything about the curse and I didn't want to talk about what they curse. I just gave an example. He also cursed about my sister and mother. If their account will not be closed after their harmful, abusive, harrassing, vulgar, etc. writings, and if some of you guys (maybe you like to curse a lot, I don't know maybe it is your hobby) defend them with the freedom of speech, what is wrong with mentioning their names in a forum using my freedom of speech?

I haven't use any bad words about them. I just wanted to warn other decent players about these players and mentioned that I reported them and their account were not closed as opposed to another account which was immediately closed which also shows that chess.com "sometimes" care about their customers based on the member conduct.

I haven't paid for this website to get cursed.

This is written in the section of "About Chess.com" :

Chess.com is the #1 online chess community with more than 5 million members from around the world! Chess.com provides a safe and enjoyable environment where chess players of all skill levels can learn, play, and enjoy the game together.

I've never been cursed at in game chat on chess.com in my nearly four years of playing here. Of course, I normally play longer time controls, usually three days per move. I've heard that people get a lot more overwrought in short time controls.

I agree that people should not curse. I would never curse at someone over a chess game myself. But you have no way of knowing whether or not the people's posting privileges have been revoked as a result of your report or whether the people were issued a warning. Perhaps the site took action and you just don't know about it.

It still isn't an excuse for you to violate the site's rules. No naming and shaming.

And freedom of speech does not apply on a private web site. 

Please note the moderators have edited your original post.

So cursing or using vulgar speech on live chess games does not fit the definition of member conduct?

Are you saying that I should go straight to jail for speeding for the first time ?

maybe...

What !? go to jail just for speeding over 5kph ?
