The owner wants chess players here to be nice to each other or at least to tone down the lack of respect. Enforcing a few restrictions helps that to occur.
Nothing wrong with that, is there?

Thanks for the answer @justbefair
Except that the notion of what is respect and being nice is a cultural one. Some things are considered normal in some cultures and offensive in others. What I am criticizing is that the rules on chat.com are too restrictive for most cultures (from my point of view). I am not blaming chess.com devs for that, it is an American site after all, I am just asking them to reconsider and relax the rules a little.
I agree with Gollum67 here and my Elo in rapid 10-0 is slightly higher (so my opinion should matter more) I don't see any provocation or malicious intent in that chat message.

No, imaginary numbers don't increase the importance of your opinions.
Well then, since I'm three hundred points higher rated than you I must be smarter, and therefore I am correct. Also, since I am two hundred points higher rated than Gilga, he's wrong too. Checkmate.
I think they should add a feature that allows you to swear if you pay for a membership. This would perfectly fall in line with the rest of Chess.com features. Like putting game analysis behind a paywall to protect cheaters. They don't care that you use bad language, they care that you are doing it without paying money.
@checkmated0001 with all due respect, ELO scores can't be applied for people playing on US timezones. Like with all games, (League of legends, starcraft and yes, also chess), the US American meta is much weaker than the rest of the world. Try playing at night and you'll realize it.
Let me give you a source for this: https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/average-iq-by-country, compare the usa and germany, the difference is stunning. That difference is not genetic but due to different education systems.

The site is multicultural and you can't assume any other member agrees with another member's sense of what's offensive.
Having a baseline is going to be the best idea and leaning towards a more kind level, regardless of how open some other cultures might be is going to be more acceptable
This is snowflake land, where the men are women and women are men. Poking at each other and rough housing is NOT allowed in snowflake land!
I swear if i catch ANY of you doing what cisgendered men do in online spaces i will cancel you and send your reputation out the window!
We must cater to [moderator removed comment - aa], If you don't do so you are a bigot!
careful, you're gonna get banned @AngryPuffer
What?! Me???
I love everyone and everything. I tolerate all and am so loving! Dont we all know feelings matter? Insulting yourself as such an insult to yourself; what this dude did was so wrong to himself! Punish him!!!

Nice try. Have you ever noticed that you play people on this site with different nationalities than your home country or local time zone? Have you, perhaps, considered outliers or flukes?
I just got chat banned for saying "I am getting my [removed] kicked". The obsession with good language is an American one, can we maybe loosen up the rules a little?
