It's probably just to cover their own arse. It's just the way it works, so I guess, get over it. And post it somewhere else.

However, one man who knew how to be funny was Tom Lehrer and I doubt if his very clever Vatican Rag would offend anybody.

Whadya mean? He was just online today!

I am pretty sure chess.com is not stopping you from starting your own website Zombywoof, so the censorship issue is rather mute. It's their site they control what they want here and what they don't, start your own site if you want something different. Easy!

I suspect this was unintentional, but it made me laugh nonetheless.
Spell check can only do so much.

You're not wrong! I was just reading through a piece I'd written for my creative writing class this week and found that instead of "uniformed policeman" I'd written "uninformed policeman".
I thought I'd better change it because, spelling aside, I'd probably committed either a tautology or an oxymoron! 
Believe it or not, I thought it was amusing when I wrote it! 
Goldendog, what are you talking about?

He's probably talking about "moot".
*shakes head and shrugs*
Yup Dozy, it happens. For some, though, reading and writing has gone out of fashion, and a reliance on spell check just pushes the errors back a level, waiting to be found by someone else because the author never will. I guess it's a skill that will go the way of the ability to add subtract multiply and divide in one's head.
*sighs*
You guys want to say others only enter threads to attack people...even when it is a purposeful thing. Amazing!
Lapdog, I can understand why you try and attack me, but I see you also decided to attack some guy who made the effort to put a thread up about his top 5 chess players, how is that helpful?

Ah! the Good Old Days! when one could trust any industrious young street urchin to be able to balance a crown coin on his nose.
p.s. someone

Interesting topic that, I suppose you are upset that people no longer know how to use slide rules as well. Maybe we should revert back to old english...Shakespearian even!! I can't believe that went out of fashion!
If it sounds like you are frustrated and grasping at straws, it's because you are.
I'm sure all your pratfalls are on purpose.

Here he is performing it on You-Tube.
