so i called someone a [vulgar word - moderated]...now im kicked off, is this permanent or wats the deal
kicked off

Have you done similar stuff before with profanity? I've been warned for swearing, but haven't gotten kicked off yet.

Maybe you should have been helpful, relevant or nice instead of hurling abuse at people.
Should be a day imo.
I understand what you're saying, but maybe the person was genuinely acting like a p***y, and the guy got aggravated and lashed out. The topic isn't called, "how to be less naughty - please help with my personality", he wants to know how long he's getting kicked.

If you were auto warned or kicked, then it would have either been for the use of a word on the auto filter (swearing), or for spamming game chat.
Our system warns first, if that warning is ignored, it then prevents you from chatting for 60 minutes. If after that you swear again it removes you from live chess for 30 minutes.
Some members will spam their game chat when its their opponents turn to move to try and distract them, other times, its just a case of a sensitive auto filter picking up on someone entering text into the game chat too fast over and over.
The auto system will only kick for 30 minutes on first offence it the text it detects is highly offensive or more than one swear word is used in the same sentence.

Nothing justified "lashing out" in such a way imo. Nothing. Just disable the chat if someone is being an asshat.
Asshat? I didn't know that was a word.

Asshat? I didn't know that was a word.
Of course you did. Stop being an asshat.

I looked the world up on urbandictionary.com, and people seem to disagree as to what the exact meaning of the word is. The most popular definition is:
A person, of either gender, whose behavior displays such ignorance/obnoxiousness that you would like to make them wear their own ass as a hat.
However, other definitions include:
describing when one's head is so far up one's ass that one is wearing the ass as a hat. in other words, extreme stupidity.
One who has their head up their ass, thus wearing their ass as a hat. Someone who is very ignorant, stubborn or dull.
one who is oblivious to the world around them,lacking common sense,their head might as well be up their ass.
So it seems that I'm not the only one who's not 100% clear on the meaning of the word.

Didn't even occur to me it might be a real word - I'm sorry for being such an asshat
Good word though, going to use it in future and it appears to be OK to use on chess.com

i wasnt warned or anything... im back online now... thanks for the help... so u can call someone stupid but not a p"""" im confused

Question: I suppose it really doesn't matter, but does anyone know why trophies disappear. I lost a good 20 recently.

winerkleiner, if the account of a trophy sender gets closed, their trophy is removed from the site, which is why you have 20 missing.
Please be relevant, helpful & nice!
