I go on a friends profile and it says that their account was closed. What does that mean? Did they close it or did chess.com do it? If chess.com closed it, why would they do that?

They could have closed their own account or Chess.com could have for violating any of the TOS. If you know them outside of the site, then you can ask them that way.

Don't you have to violate multiple times to get your account restricted?

GM_Phrostbyte

Because sometimes my friend logs off during a live game. They needed to like go to a lesson or something on ice hockey. After I get my points for winning by "game abandoned", it says they violated our terms of service and may have there account restricted. They do that multiple times with me and are still having fun on the site today...

Plus, I only friended the person with the restricted account for about 5 hours. And there account was closed.

Depends on which TOS they violate. Abandoning games just gets their account restricted with playing live games as far as I know.

GM_Phrostbyte

Oh, but that user only joined like 1 day ago...

GM_Phrostbyte

Wonder what violation that got them suspended that quickly?

It may not have been closed by Chess.com. They may have done it themselves, though with a new account that is probably unlikely. I looked through your list of friends and didn't see a closed account so I can't say much more than that.

If you want to PM me the name, I might be able to give other suggestions, but there is no guarantee I can determine anything though.

I also looked through your recent live games and don't see any closed accounts. Do they still show closed when you look? I've never seen any accounts that were completly wiped (if that is what happened).

Hmmm, with only two games, it looks like the account may have just been a self closure.

Wcimoa closed his/her own account.

My account was closed for a short time, but it might be a bug.

GM_Phrostbyte

Did it close when you were a new member? I am regarding  Robert0905.

Robert_New_Alekhine

I have been a member since 2012, and it closed 10 days ago.
