I started playing chess with someone, but in first minute he insulted me using F workd for my mother. I foundhis profile. He is from Romania and he told me some stuff like: How is you mother doing getting [abusive word removed] for money, and I told him shut up  and later I told him my mother is dead. The he continued same behavior and wrote me su_ck it ! I am new in this site and I didn't know what to do. I recently got message from you that I have offensive langaugae. I didn't do it and i want to report this guy.

I support instant closure of accounts for such behaviour. Seems pointless to give a second chance in such cases.

If someone is abusive in your game, in messages or anywhere else on the site, please either use this link  or contact support and let us handle it.

(don't post it in the forums :) )

I think Mr Kohai that you should be very strick in these cases. No advising, no asking for better behaviour. . .no. . .inmediate banning. . . like a very tough basesball umpire. . . direct red card like a football (soccer) arbiter. . . We like this site, so, please, have it neat and clean

If a player gets a red card it doesn't mean he is banned from playing for ever.

Yeap. You are right at that Ivandh. I was thinking of the red card as for a particular game of football. The red card I suggest is a "foreever" one.

In some other section of this Forum I mentioned that chess is associated with culture (good behaviour, not wealth) and as such bad manners and bad language should be avoided.

Is chess a sort of crap game in a low class bar? No. . . Then?
