I am French speaking in my life, and English is my third language, so I won't try to not learning from what you are saying.
But I haven't seen any other sites, which is as sensible
I can't understand when I play with my best friend and that we are throwing us the most dirty words why it should be a problem ??? It's a private game and conversation we are having between me and him and nobody has (should) access to our discussion

Pretty sure anyone watching your games can see the chats. Only direct chats and messages are private.
Well it's supposed to be a family friendly enviroment. It's not a cod lobby, it's chess. I understand the frustration when someone gets muted for a silly reason. But in the greater picture if someone needs a list of banned words to behave, it just sounds like they want to break the rules without getting caught to me. I feel like that's a pretty reasonable take
The problem is that some banned words are quite ordinary terms, only becoming profane in certain contexts. Other words that are always offensive seem to get a pass.
The bot cannot distinguish context.
The bot is working from a skewed lexicon.
An actual list of the bot’s offensive terms would allow users to suggest improvements in the list.
this would imply that site staff actually cares.
they don't.
Bots don't seem to work against foul language in Spanish.
when i've pointed this out to staff the conversation stops.
The bots work against anything in their word list. Language doesn't matter.
missing the point.
staff not caring is the issue some of us are bringing to the fore, hoping they address it.

coupla things.
i get the 'family friendly' part, but that is a ruse designed as an excuse when the mutes happen.
the frustration of being muted when you are in the middle of a conversation (sometimes more than one) is real. one person was muted for writing h o m o sapien. without the spaces, of course. i was muted for writing that a politician was a b 0 0 b.
neither word is offensive, unless you include five year olds chuckling at the use of the latter term. which shows the family friendly concept is just a convenient excuse.
I once got warned for misspelling Doritos.
Or was it pringles….
Yes that would be useful. I've been muted several times because of how delicate chess.com tries to be. Despite the fact chesskid exists...
Chesskid has no forums and no chat functions. Overall it appears cheesy and patronizing towards a younger audience. If I were a 'Chesskid' (so corny of a name!) myself, of course I'd want to mingle together with the grown-ups. Chess.com (the company, not the site) seems to have an identity problem: On one hand it wants to protect our pwecious, lil' chess kids from bad no-no words like $hit, on the other it offers no alternative for youngsters to be by themselves, without even needing protection from bad trenchcoat-wearing rapscallions in the first place.
La revolutión
Also when you do the stupid 'post against community standards' thing, can you make it so we can adit the post and the ENTIRE post isn't lost. I just lost a half hour of work writing out a long post to help someone but it apperently had a word that was banned and the whole thing dissapeared. Okay fine, make the site rated G for babies, whatever. But don't take away all the work, let me edit it. Things like that make me not want to waste my $15 here. Yeah I know. "Oh he's crying and whining oh he's gonna take his ball and go home and his $15 what a generic thing to say." Sure I get it. But seriously, just let us edit the post so we don't lose all that time.
I copy my long posts before hitting send, so I can paste and edit.
@FaceCrusher: agree 100%. Had a long post couple month ago, where there were no profanities as far as I knew. Got a "post against" message. Well, ok let me edit that badboy and remove... oh, everything is gone and I can't get it back. And also no explanation what word was so terrible.
Sure, @DefenderPug2 has a good solution, just save it temporary. But is that so hard to get a "ah ah ah, the word marked red are bad. Edit them out and try not using them."

Oh, but such a feature is too good to be even considered.

LMAO see ??
It's nonsense that a site is banning the most used word in English
It would be nonsense if it was allowed and it was all over the forums and chat.
