Maybe @kingsonicthehedgehog will get back to his senses or will continue to be a jerk and get muted again...
As I have already given you a warning about continuing with the insults, you are now getting a 24 hour mute.

Now listen, Next time dare to hurt her (Amy) and I'll be coming to Canada to strangle you. And I am not kidding. You will really regret it if you hurt her again.....

Threats are NOT acceptable on Chess.com - not in the public forums or anywhere else. You have therefore been given a 3 day mute. Please do NOT engage in this sort of behaviour again.

Yeah, go to court and say "I didn't threaten to strangle the defendant, I warned the defended I'd strangle him"
lol.

Haha. You can't write TOS in terms of "no threats, unless it's hyperbole, in that case it's fine"
When making rules you have to think in terms of loopholes, otherwise you're not thinking at all.
Your faith in humanity is diminished due to his post?
My faith in kids is exactly the same due to yours ![]()

No one is contesting what is written in the terms of service. What is being contested is whether that any threat was really made. Did you seriously think that someone was going to take a flight to Leafland, look for the King of the hedgehogs and asphyxiate him? Did you, seriously? If not then there was no threat made for it was purely hyperbole, an exaggerated statement not mean to be taken literally. That being the case what has transpired is that someone has been muted for essentially a thought crime. Yes indeed, delivered up to chess dot com Room 101 for reconditioning.
Ok, so, what I'm hearing is you learned the word hyperbole yesterday and are eager to use it as many times as you can.
That's nice.
Meanwhile, in the civilized world, it's still rude to threaten people, whether you actually plan on strangling them or not. Chess.com enforces niceness... I've run afoul of this a few times recently so I'd know ![]()
