bad sportsmanship?

My account got restricted for bad sportsmanship? (meaning I have to play friends and open games before I can play online again.) Does someone had this thing before? I am paying for diamond membership, putting hours and study rigorously. This is extremely discouraging.

I used to be an a-hole once (always aborted when going against D4 as black). Took a couple of days to get unrestricted.

Why is my accunt restricted for bad sportsmanship? I have  only played 4 games since May 31, 2021.  One game was automatically aborted.,  after the whites 1st move. I did not abort it. Repeat  I did not abort it..  This is very discoraging..

Why is it so difficult  from me to find an opponent and play a game ? I have to click 10-20 tmes before one opponent shows up.  I am very dissapointed with chess.com

IMO it's because you have done something wrong, and chess.com might have flagged you for that. It might be cheating, bad sportsmanship, or other fair play violations, thus, you are being categorized as like "low-priority". That means most likely you will face the same "low-priority" player, that's why it takes longer time to find one.

Sportsmanship is based on games in the last 90 days.

That is irrelevant.

If you broke the chess.com rules, then you deserve to suffer the consequences.

We don't care if you put a lot of work in, or pay diamond membership. None of those things allow you to break the rules.

Agree. Chess.com might check more carefully tho, lol.
