I met a player here at chess.com, he was a diamond premium member. Then suddenly his account was closed. When I talked to him personally, he does not know why his account was closed.

Commonly players get banned due to cheating. I doubt my friend is cheating. Maybe yes, maybe not. God only knows. Are there any other ways to get your account closed?

Oh, another way is to invite members to a group using messages. In other online games, sending a message to a prospective initiate is courtesy. In chess.com you get banned for it.

So I have two, any others? Being a premium member means nothing if you get your account closed.

Would the player receive a warning? Like "please refrain from doing 'something' else your account shall be closed". It seems not. So your account can get closed anytime?

If he really doesn't know, he can write in to chess.com and ask.

If he does know, he can write in, apologize, promise not to do it again and he will possibly be reinstated. (It would obviously depend on what he did.)

I have seen many people come back from the dead.

That's a relief. 

But still, the player should know the basis for being banned. True or not. If that happens to me, I will be insulted.

i want to closed my account because i am not cheater but one member(serialkiller) told me i am not playin against cheater before the game started.

Why do you care what that guy says?   Believe it or not, there are people who say those things to deliberately bother their opponents.

Ignore it!

I had been told a cheater twice this year already.

The first one my opponent is a piece up and yet I won 10 - 15 moves later.

The next one is very recent. We had 4 simultaneous games. After winning twice my opponent told me that he is like playing against a computer. He won the third game while I bagged the fourth. Later he learned that I have 136 current games. Its a bit hard to use computer engine to do the moves for me, considering that we are playing online chess like it is a Live Chess.

I'm sad to hear being accused of cheating. What's the hard work of training and study worth for?

Again, what do you care? People say those things deliberately to upset you. 

Don't let them upset you.

Absolutely right.
