I love the game of chess and have recently started using this app. Most players if they use chat are friendly but twice now I have run into opponents who literally start using the chat function to try and belittle or cuss at me (?!) what the heck? I know that’s not what the game is about nor what this site wants to promote.

I highly recommend a player peer rating feature that includes a sportsmanship score. If it consistently is low you should pause their account and after too many poor scores kick them off!

Am I alone here?

It already exists. If somebody is a poor sport, you are asked to report them. Those who get multiple negative reports can be assigned to a special pool, where they are kept away from normal players and made to play with each other.

To chat with me, they must first send me a chat request. I usually don't even notice it. Even if I do, I don't always accept. Even if I accept, I don't reply if someone cuss at me. I rather enjoy it when they do. Especially when they are losing.

Anyway, I haven’t encountered such behaviour this year. It's been a while I have seen someone trash talking in the chat.

Even in OTB, when someone's trash talking me, I usually don't reply much. I only laugh it away. It never bothers me, honestly. You can't troll someone who has already mastered trolling himself. But, I retired from trolling a long time ago. It was before I became active in this community.

They should have their account disabled and IP address blocked immediately if found guilty after being reported.

Uh oh.

And they should serve a 20-year prison sentence!
