What is this supposed to mean I didn't do anything wrong.

Challenge failed. Your account is restricted for violations of our Sportsmanship Policy. You may directly challenge Friends, or create rated, open challenges using standard time-controls. This restriction will be removed automatically as you play more games with good sportsmanship.

You probably aborted too many games, or disconnected too much.

Because you don't resign but abort the game when you're lost . That's probl why people report you ? Resigning instead of leaving and abort the game is unsportsmanlike behavior..

I also think that's the reason, I don't see any other explanation

They meant to say it’s probably because you close the app rather than officially resigning. If you quit the match without resigning, you can be reported.

I was talking to someone in a rapid 60 minute game and it aborted, Immediately wanting a rematch so I could actually play, then my account got restricted, but how long will it take until I can play again?

But I did officially resign?? He put me in check with his dark square bishop while attacking my queen. So I resigned.

Did you resign after running down the clock to the last second? Seen this happen more than enough.

Avatar of Tanushpillai123

Then i requested him for a rematch and then this message shows up "You have been officialy restricted for violating our sportsmanship policy. You can remove the restriction by playing more fair games"

I dont understand this even if he aborted it but i got the restriction!?

Can u plss tell me how much time will it take to remove this restriction??

If you have a high abort rate as a percentage of recently completed games or high rate of letting games time out, then that can happen
