It wouldn't be a bad idea for blocked users' messages to not appear anywhere on the site.
If lichess never does that you could choose not to care. There is literally not a single thing anyone could say to me on a chess website that would even mildy annoy me. It's just text on a screen from a stranger.
NeverBeenTimid,
Sorry, but I did not understand what you meant.
I apologize for my English, this is Google translation.
FutureBoy,
I'm glad that it does not bother you, but it worries me.
I do not like people to offend.
@SIowpokThere are larger things to worry about in life than what some idiot says in chat. Just click the little check box to disable chat if you are easily offended.
We need to keep in mind this is a free website and there are a lot of teenagers, or very young people.
Just yesterday I played someone named "MILF-HUNTER" who was making sexual comments during the game. So when I won the game I said "good little boy" cuz I couldn't think of anything and he says "ugh dude you are such a DILF" and I just laugh.
If someone gets reported for using obscene language they normally will get shadow banned... If you are shadow banned then only the people following you and the other people that are shadow banned can see what you say...
It's actually funny, I've still not had any BM in my games on Lichess. I'm sure I'm dooming myself to some BM in the near future, but I find most people don't talk.
Chatting: probably best is like with take-backs. Just don't do it. Everyone has different thresholds and expectations how the other one should react.
One can talk with opponents otb in real life where you see the other one. But not in with anonymous opponents in the internet.
I understand that many people do not care what happens in the chat, but I do not care. In the chat, in the typing line it is written: "Please, be nice in the chat!" So this is important?
But if the moderators do not react, if the appeal to the moderators takes a lot of time and effort, if the punishment is minimal, then violators will invariably continue to do the same as they did before.
That's why I want to be able to block the player, not only not to play with him, but also not to see his messages.
Lichess does have a kid mode. Why don't you try it? Works pretty good man.
It is written that all communications are disabled in the kid mode. This is true? If so, this is not at all what you need. You read about what I wrote above? I want to disable the ability to communicate only with some bad people.
Or do you want to communicate only bad people here using obscene language, and all good people went to kid mode? Did I understand you correctly?
