After game chat
Aaron
I think it would be a nice feature, if you could write your opponent after a game without being friends. So that you could ask for example, how he got country xy right. I think it would be a nice feature for improving yourself. But the other player can respond later, so the chance would be increased that someone responds.

One thing to consider with this is that children do play so I think it'd be good to have the option to disable any such feature for an account.

Allowing chat only after a game finishes could lead to insults or false accusations of cheating, and other unnecessary negative message. Currently, messaging requires the other player to accept your friend request, ensuring more balanced and appropriate interactions, mainly since many users are minors under parental supervision, with some parents advising their children not to accept friends to avoid exposure to chat content.
This approach, in my opinion, prioritizes fairness and a safer environment for players.

It might also explain and avoid quite a few cheat reports if unbelievable guesses can be simply explained.

Graham Christie It might also lead to a lot of "road rage", so might swing both ways.

GummiTarzan You could add a feature to text ban a player. So after a few rude messages you could get banned and its visible in the profile to avoid confusion.

Agreed, should be easy enough. Assume people are nice until proven otherwise, then revoke privileges if they can't handle them in a responsible manner.
