Well I might as well put my two cents worth in, If you don't want any chat disable chat from the start. In an over the board game I shake hands at the begining and at the end. I think it's good to say GG or what ever if they have the chat on why not? If they do not respond there could be many reasons I don't give it a second thought. If they disable chat after I send a post then I will most likely avoid playing them in the future. Lit them find other rude people they deserve each other.

Saying nothing is a lot less rude than interrupting someone's concentration with chat during a game. The forums are here for people to chat, the chess board is there for people to play chess.
Although I'd enable chat if I thought my opponent would just blather on for 5 minutes instead of focussing on their game!
After very egregious blunders, I always am laughing at myself and I type "rofl". I like this because if my opponent has seen the blunder he will laugh too, but if not it won't really give anything away. (Still I reserve it for very egregious blunders, things like giving my queen away to an obvious knight fork or dropping a piece, or hanging back rank mate.)

I only chat in online games. On timed games I would save the chat until after the game.

I've watched tournament chess for years and, regardless of the way things turned out, the players would shake hands or more. Indirectly, "GG" is about the best you can do online. Most of my games end with "GG" or nothing at all. But either way this is a bit more than rude. The rules don't stay the same. It is far more informal here. If they don't want to communicate they should at list ask the same. If they bother me I just don't accept their challenges later on.

The best you could do, if you want to shake hands, is type, "thanks for the game". If you are too lazy for that many words, "thx" works well. The two letters "gg" imply a quality that is usually absent.

To OP:
If you spend a little time thinking, you will realized that half of us on here are polite and well mannered, but when we are insulted in game, almost every game, it gets old. It's just simpler to shut all the idiots off.
Maybe you play at a level where the insults are rare. I get trash talked in half my games at least.
That is what I found too, and is why I have chat disabled.

I almost never chat during a game. That said, I find those that disable chat to be a bunch of toothless weasels. About as bad as the weasels that post on here saying it's bad manners not to offer a rematch or accept a rematch.
My rules of thumb:
- I see no obligation to offer or accept a rematch, win, loss, or draw!
- I often don't have time for a rematch as I play blitz on here when I have a few minutes to kill. If I have an hour to kill, I do something more effective, like STUDY!! One Hour of studying is more effective than 12 hours of internet blitz!
- I WILL NOT under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES accept a rematch by someone that turns chat off. You don't have to chat. I mainly don't. Turning it off says something about your personality. You are incapable of ignoring the few clowns out there that try to insult you. You are a little weasel in the closet that separates yourself from the outside world. You are a loser! Why would I want to play you a second time?

Teeth on a weasel are over-rated.
And nobody ever has anything worthwhile to say during a game of chess, so might as well disable chat, it'd tidier.
mmm
bump.
why do we respond to these kinds of things to say the same thing we did months earlier?
just a thought.
it is after all friday. go get yourself a beer.

Short attention spans is my vote.

Hello, CookedQueen! Are you asking me to do this so that you can report me for spamming?
ahh, no surely not. Wasn't meant this way.
I disabled chat not for "gg" reasons. Now it's so so nice there are no abusing words i see (peace).I realized If chat had not been disabled then sometimes during game they would have said anything to me being so angry getting beaten so hard (even think their angry faces when they rematch but get lost again), hahaha just disable game chat except friends if you faces much chat abusing.
A bit off topic, one time I beat my opponent in a game where he made a few mistakes, especially at the end. He said nothing at all in the chat, he just left immediately after the game. Then I noticed that he had sent me a message that said, simply "F*** you". I kept it as a sort of trophy, haha.
[COMMENT DELETED]
Being somewhat garrulous in nature, I rather like a pleasantry at the beginning of a game. Indeed, I tend to "blurt out", as it were, whenever I blunder or when my opponent has made a surprising and destructive move against me. Just irrepressably friendly, I guess. sigh.
I'm reminded of a time in DC, waiting for a bus, when I tried to strike up a conversation with another man at the stop. A couple of times. Silence. As the bus rolled up, he handed me a card, with nothing printed on it except, "Help stamp out small talk."
