Why do so many opponents post so many rude comments whilst playing them,is there a way to report offenders?

speed chess and bullet games tend to bring out the worst in people.this doesn't justify trash talking to opponent of course....but even normally nice people can be tempted to do this out of frustration/heat of the moment.I too have on occassion posted some bad notes to people when I should've restrained myself (I have chat disabled on live chess to avoid trash talkers of course).

it's interesting to note that this rarely happens on CC chess.

I really hate that too. people do that when they lose or give rude/arrogant comments when they are in a totally lost position, so I become angry/lose concentration and lose on time.. it's such a dirty strategy that I've been a victim of

I wouldn't enjoy a speed game where there was no  trash taking. I lost 15 seconds to a guy who said, "So you wanna be a masta? A pokemon masta?"

Is this the kind of stuff you are complaining about?


That's hilarious.

My attitude is that anybody who insults me is no more worth listening to than the guy who gurgles at the back of the bus.

if you fall for it, you've only yourself to blame


If they're really nasty, I just leave after the game is over...

But trash talking is fun because in my mind if you just play it cool it throws them off because they're expecting to get a rise out of you.

The proper response to trash talk is: LOL!

Pissing someone off to the point of insults makes me happy.

 

Just makes it that much better when you own them.

Why don't you disable chat?  NO talking OTB anyway in a face to face game.

I'ts unacceptable (trash-talking) because whilst humorous to some the site is International & offence can be major. Disable-chat/report/ban then on with the chess is best course of action ! Smile
