Is it Chessplayers or is it speech controls that turns chat in a chess site into kindergarten chaos?

I would expect that the population of a chess site would lead to very interesting chat content. Quite the opposite is the reality. theories on why?

No idea. There's a ton of random useless spam threads tbh.

Also the sheer volume of kids on this website...

I feel like there are far too many people who are probably too young to be on the forums. It leads to endless spam and slop content being posted in the forums.

Just take a look at how many "person above you" threads there are on the first page of the Off Topic Forums.

No, actually it's the kindergartners turning it into kindergarten chaos. At least 30% of new people who join OTF aren't old enough to legally be here.

What is the minimum age? Does anyone know?

I'm not an adult yet but I'd say I'm quite decent on here and don't just post endless 'hi' slop.

Oh I'm alright then. Thanks.
