Yeah, I think people should be allowed to just do what they want. It doesn't really matter whether or not you disable chat. I would say most people here especially just want to play, and some people (me included) have had enough idiots be rude for no particular reason to justify such a course of action. I don't think it should be such a problem for you, but if it is, that's your choice. It's not everyone's choice, though.

I play OTB. A fraction of people say "good game".
I wonder where you play? The tournaments i have been to, only 1 time has someone refused to shake hands, say good luck, and good game. A talk with his coach quickly lead to an apology.
In my city, chess players are friendly. Most of them hail from the professional classes and have some education. Maybe that's why they say "thanks for the game", or other such things after a game, instead of always, "good game". Usually when I hear "good game" it really was a battle where both sides had chances.

That is also being nice though. You are saying something.
It often happens that losing player would be in a bad mood and avoid talking, leaving with just a handshake, nobody takes offense about this I guess, I have seen that several times in my games.
On mobile version it is practically impossible to chat while playing, I think a lot of players disable chat while on mobile.

Always. And most of the time we go to another room and go over the game.
For those of us who care about language and who also care about the quality of our chess, words like "good game" are hard to toss around cheaply. Thanking one's opponent for the game, however, is obligatory.
Tomorrow, while running a youth tournament, I will remind the kiddos that chess is a game of skill so they should tell their opponent, "good luck!"

A handshake is still good though but this is online. you cant do that.
And yeah, you have a point about mobile. but I dont think they disable it. at that point they just ignore it.

On a scale from 1 to 10 how important is this?
Since online you can't shake a hand after a game, all you can do is write something in a chat box. Nice people say something nice : "gg" even if you totally blundered.

Just as many have pointed out earlier, there's too many rude and nasty people in live chess. i haven't chatted with anybody there so far, and people should concentrate on the game and not on the keyboard.
