Before You Chat
- Chat is for respectful match, friend, club, and support communication.
- Players must accept these chat terms before sending messages or emojis.
- Support chat remains available for safety, account, and help requests.
Real-Time Safety
- Messages may be filtered before delivery to reduce harassment, scams, personal contact sharing, threats, sexual content, cheating instructions, and illegal content.
- Blocked or escalated messages may be logged for review and player protection.
- Repeated or serious violations may lead to warnings, chat mutes, match restrictions, account restrictions, or admin review.
Privacy And Reports
- Do not share phone numbers, addresses, passwords, payment details, private contact handles, or sensitive personal data in chat.
- Players can report chat behavior from match and support surfaces.
- Admins may review relevant chat, match, and account context when handling reports, appeals, safety issues, or support requests.
Tournament And High-Rating Limits
- Some tournament, high-rating, child-safety, country, or integrity contexts may limit chat features.
- Admin and support messages may still be available when player-to-player chat is limited.
- Mystery Chess can update chat safety rules as the community grows.
